Smith was a tactical genius when we tonked Liverpool 7-2.Now he's the village idiot when we lose at their place to a last minute shot with our best player out injured.
Short of us losing every game to the end of the season there is not a chance in hell Dean Smith is getting fired. He comfortably has until Christmas and any kind of good start next season will likely give him the full season.
As Ads says I'd love to see whos behind footballinsider247. id put money on some shit stirring single prick in his basement. Simple answer don't click on clickbait shite and block them on Twatter.

No time for a lunch break in an 8 hour day otherwise employers will hound you. Nasty vibe and will not pay you anything in first 3 months if you decide to leave.Advice to ManagementDisgraceful and should be looked into soon."Avoid PLYP/Football Insider at all costs"I worked at Football Insider for less than a yearProsThere are none. Utterly atrocious company to work for. Lots of promises made but none kept.ConsSenior staff are unapproachable and will tell staff what they want to hear rather than tell the truth.

Quote from: SoccerHQ on April 11, 2021, 01:29:23 PMThink talk of a top 6 finish next season is pretty optimistic.We would have to sign even better than last summer to have a chance of that.This season our backline bar the odd individual error has generally performed out of their skins yet you can't just assume it will be as good next season as we saw in 09/10 and then six months later we have one of worst defences in league even though it was pretty much the same players. This due to injuries, lack of motivation etc.We need far more goal power in final third. You look at Saint Maximn coming on for Newcastle just now and turning a 1-0 into 1-2 in five minutes, we desperately need that type of player aswell as Grealish in the team.Then top 6 is possible but not before. A backup striker DS can actually trust to bring on every game regardless of score or opposition is also very much needed.Would be more than happy with 8th and a very good cup run next season. Lower than that and think ownership will then have decision to make.Trezeguet did exactly this a week ago. Over their 2 seasons in the league S-M has 6 goals and 8 assists, Trez has 8 goals and 2 assists. That doesn't scream upgrade to me, particularly given the likely £40m-ish price tag.

I imagine the goal the owners set this season was mid table comfort - which after last day survival is good progress. We will achieve that so job done.Big summer ahead. I personally think Jack will leave but with the £100m from his tsfr plus another £100m from the owners we can sign 4-5 seriously talented first team players which means we will see the back of AEG, KD, NT, RB, etc.Next season the target has to be top 8 - I think Dean deserves the chance to see if under his tenure the progress can continue.
Might just be me but when I watch likes of ASM and say Neto who's been mentioned in last week as an ambitious target I just think they're way better threats.Yes El Ghazi had an excellent purple patch over xmas and we should be thankful for that as could still played part in us finishing top 10 but that's all it was. You wouldn't have known he was on the pitch last week v Fulham for example.Trez works hard and I thought he was decent yesterday so has his uses for certain games in a season but again the other week v Spurs he just kept on making poor decisions once in final third.Both have two years left on their deal now so we'll have to stick or twist on at least one of them.We just need better out wide. I'm a Traore fan but he was awful yesterday aswell.Think it will have to be the position we really up the stakes and potentially smash our club record and go big in 30-40m range to get a player more proven whereas with how well Ollie has done this year we can get in more of a development signing at CF to build up over the season.
