Smith isn’t sure he will be available for Tuesday.

Suso/Purslow don’t come out of this lack of striker episode very well at all.

Agree, they fucked up in August with striker recruitment. I felt uneasy at the time with the lack of choice in attack. If we and several pundits could forsee it, why couldn't they?

Does Smith know his arse from his elbow?? Communication within the club seems poor at the minute .....why on earth wasn't a work permit sorted at the start of the window?
Purslow appears to have gone shy all of a sudden leaving Smith as his stool pigeon

Perhaps Smith is the worst manager since Houllier.

As the work permit is in the hands of civil servants, I’m confident he will be good to go on Tuesday.

I’m pretty sure you are the biggest shit stirrer in that period.

Smith sorts the work permits out?! No wonder the team looks so out of joint. Between recruitment, admin and the stitching on the badge I doubt he gets more than half an hour a week with them.

These things are (i) not predictable and (ii)  nothing to do with Smith.

It was not specifically aimed at you at all. Just a follow-up to the nonsense being put on the temporarily locked Smith Out thread before this one goes the same way.

Where have I suggested Smith is responsible for work permits? I am Sure he is more than busy enough setting traps and picking up the cones and bibs ;)

How things have changed, DS now being mocked for mentioning modern coaching methods that he was praised to the rafters for understanding only 12 months ago.
