   I don’t really understand this appointment if it happens as it doesn’t seem to fit with our new approach. Smith seems to be a good manager because:

   1. He has a good track record uncovering talent in the lower leagues – don’t we have people doing this already (statisticians, co director of football etc) and in the new regime the manager isn’t the driving force behind transfers.

   2. He has really good knowledge of the lower leagues – this is fine but we’re a championship side so not sure how much use this would be.

   3. He works really well with small budget – again this is a great attribute to have but we do have some money to spend (ie Bjelland, Vibe etc) why do we need scene to be working on a shoestring budget?

   Personally I’d like us to be a little more ambitious in our approach. If he does come does thus signal the end of our experiment?

     Don’t hope for a plan ‘b’ with Dean Smith. He hadn’t a clue until O’Kelly joined him and they still can’t suss out or compensate for changes the opposition might make at halftime. Good luck!
