We go down, he leaves. Long term project finished.
That's what I don't get in the argument that if we go down it's okay because we have a long term plan. Immediately we lose our best player in many years in Grealish then McGinn will be away followed by Mings how long do you think it would take us to recover from that?If we go down we will be down for a good while possibly years unless anyone has a better plan than avoiding the drop I've yet to hear it.

This isn’t a new set of issues, they’re the same issues that were repeated week in, week out last season before he had a player who was way too good for the division come back and save him. If he had made tactical alterations or changes when we needed him to before Derby at home fair enough, but he did nothing. Just having Grealish available from then on masked all of Smiths weaknesses and he got out of jail. Smith gets a huge amount of credit when he actually didn’t really do very much. If Grealish had been out for the rest of last season, the dross that was served up from Leeds at home onwards would have carried on until the end of the season because there was no evidence of whatsoever of Smith having any idea of what to do. Basically, exactly the same as what is happening now.It’s worth giving a manager time if you’ve got the right one. Dean Smith most definitely is not the right one

Does anybody think Grealish will go at the end of the season regardless of which division we’re in?

It's a disgrace. I think my nan might be the only person in Birmingham who still buys the paper version. It's just an online "service" which operates on the basis of clicks for trolling.
I can not understand why anybody would rather us go down than Sack Smith. It would be a disaster.
