Is Smith doing the right thing in Newcastle

[Misanthrope]

if thats the case mate i apologise, i copped an onslaught last night, you seen it!

Haha, indeed I did. It's the baptism of fire so many of us have endured.

You'd be surprised how many LU users go to bed with me on their minds. It's both flattering and scary :crazy:

No need to be embarassed, perverse. It's human nature. Just accept it and sleep will come.

I still think we needed to bring in somebody with more thoroughly developed man management skills to handle the coaching and management side of things. It's clear Smith has a great eye for talent and a strong administrative game - but it's also clear that he's not at all good at motivating his players or playing diplomat.

Hagan? :shock:

 

[Misanthrope]

A Hagan/Smith combo would have worked provided Hagan was given no control over team selection or recruitment. He'd just be there to talk to the players and prepare them for games.

 

[Burwood]

I wonder if they have a love-child floating around somewhere?

 

[otori]

Smagan?

 

[Master Vippo]

I'll reserve judgment until mid-next year, maybe even later. I think the ends justify the means, and we havent reached the ends yet.

Time will tell.

Option 2 for sure. We needed a clean-out but a bit of tact and respect whilst doing it. Smith was the last person for the job, he didnt even try to work with the players, just showed them the door.
