There is no chance at all he’s getting fired. It’s an amazing way to have survived but unless the season is able to finish which is highly unlikely now he’ll be our manager next season. And I hope if he is he’ll have learnt something about why things have turned upside down for him. There were plenty of positives early in the campaign he didn’t capitalize on. And that really cost us later as we started to ship goals for fun and our attacking ability all but vanished. Next season we have buy better players but we need a far more stoic, pragmatic approach. I doubt we will spend £150m or whatever it was again. Sign players who will fight to grind out points and proper quality to share the load with Jack when we attack. And stop being so fucking tactically naive in games. Know when to close things out, subs at HT, change things based on circumstances. It’s something we all thought he’d be good at but was found severely lacking.
I watched the Everton 2-0 home win back. Dean Smith has aged about 10 years since that night, he looked a different man.

Could have passed for a film star when appointed. Three years later, he looked like Colonel Gaddafi shortly after they pulled him out of that sewer.

His beard phase too was a clear cry for help!Then he looked great within months of the tic-tac.
Thats good stuff Vill I An. It's the sort of stuff you would expect any competant club to be doing, but it's still reassuring to hear. If the season does renew, the clubs who have managed to keep players engaged, motivated and as fit as possible will thrive.
I think they will simply go by the results. if Wes Edens comments recently made are to be believed, Dean is lucky he's still there!
