He’s spent nearly 200 million in 2 years and we still look like relegation fodder without grealish.

Played 25
Won 4
Drawn 9
Lost 12
For 26
Against 39.
Points 21

I don't really see the point of this, ignoring that you picking stats spread over 3 seasons in completely different circumstances it's just a pointless thing to do. All it shows is that Grealish is a bit good, it hardly makes you Sherlock Holmes to point that out.

I'm not picking pointless stats, im stating our record under Smith without Grealish, which is related to the point I quoted.

I know what you're stating, doesn't make it valuable though

Well it does because Ive just given a quick copy and paste based on facts. You've stated 3 paragraphs based purely on an opinion.

NO YOU HAVEN'T. You've smashed together facts in a way that means fuck all to support your opinion, that's not how it works but I honestly haven't got time to explain why given you refuse to pay attention.

The owners have expressed their intentions and how we finish this season will have a bearing on their thinking  about next season.

Exactly this, and rightly so if we want to continue the upward trajectory.

Dean is doing ok, but bloody hell he does need to develop some flexibility when it comes to tactics.

All managers get the sack.
Its the only guarantee in the job.
From what I've seen Smith hasn't failed in his job yet.
That may happen in the summer but he's attained all of the goals he's been required to reach in my opinion.

Are you seriously suggesting that 4-3-3 with a sub around 65 minutes every single week isn't the way to go?

If some supporters are becoming critical of the manager maybe some of that criticism should be directed at the owners?
After all if what Smith is overseeing is so bad why haven't they removed him?
Ridiculous right?
They are clearly comfortable at the overall progress being made otherwise a decision would have been made by now.
There will clearly be an injection of quality in the summer and of course the manager, or any manager is under more pressure to get results.
I agree with this, I think the owners know what they are doing and we are progressing. The proviso is the the manager must also progress or he, like the players will need improving on.

I am sure you are not seeing the full picture. :)

I love Dean and want him to stay for the foreseeable future, but I keep thinking of this:

How much do managers vary? Klopp had lost 6 on the bounce at home, yet today same system, moreorless the same personnel undertaking the same roles.
