Re being his own man, I would agree, and he's capable of building a side over time but needs to be backed to put a structure in line the one he had at Brentford. Watching them now with much of the side Smith out together shows how well they have assembled the structure of the club. We lack that at the moment.
But you don't own a bike.
Do you have a need, a need for speed?
Very much so. It's old school, but at £5 a gram I'm game.

That hasn’t continued in the Premier League sadly but if he showed any sign of an improvement I would love him to stay. I can’t see it though. Can you see where he’s improved?? What are your reasons for retaining him in the Premier League??Because if we stay up he'll have done everything asked of him in both of his seasons, with a cup final appearance as a bonus. More importantly, we have to get out of the 'rip it up and start again' mentality of the past decade.

Stay up this season and we will be struggling again next season With DS in charge

It surely can't be beyond our means to just poach the people who worked above/behind him at Brentford. It's clearly a good way of working. I'm just a short bike ride away if the club wants to send me the relevant powerpoint and a signed blank cheque.

I'm just a short bike ride away if the club wants to send me the relevant powerpoint and a signed blank cheque.I agree about getting a decent structure throughout the club, although I am less convinced about the lasting impact of Smith. Well over half the core of Brentford's regular team signed since Smith left: Mbeumo, Jansson, Pinnock, Raya, Norgaard, Jensen. Also, Da Silva only played after Smith left, so he can't really take too much credit for their current team.Brentford may not end up getting promoted, but either Thomas Frank has thus far done better than Smith or their recruitment has gone up a notch since he left.
Because it's that easy, which is why everyone does it. Except they don't.
