I'm just glad we wont see it turn toxic in the stands although I have a feeling there would just be an atmosphere of tired resignation.

We've been weakwilled & a soft touch for at least a decade. Smith should have gone after the defeat at Watford when the writing was well and truly on the wall but things have got steadily worse since.

The only noticeably difference was when we played Leicester in the cup. Which I think convinced the club that Smith & these players could pull it off.

I haven't seen much evidence of fight, least of all from the so-called leaders.

Upper Trinity had turned on him long ago, Southampton game was pretty much the turning point.

The owners need to explain why they didn't relieve Mr Smith of his duties in January or June.

If they dismiss him as our relegation is confirmed then that will be beyond a farce.

100%. Theres no logic to it at all.

I would fire Purslow before Smith.
Then let the new CEO work out what is needed.

I bet he’ll be here for game 1 in the Championship.

No chance. He'll be gone within 48 hours of the West Ham game at the very latest.

Too late. Purslow should have sacked him in December. Fool.
