See that`s quite a negative angle isn`t it? If you read my previous post my suggestion was TS in a DOR role, no mention of demoting anybody at all.

Would you be ok if your boss came up to you in a high pressure job (That by the way is your first ever appointment in a position of this level) and said we are going to bring someone in to help ease the pressure, someone to help with decision making with the board, another head to problem solving, someone vastly experienced with a great track record of success that is going to make your job a little easier?

As I said, I would be ok with a consultancy or advisory role. But that wasn't what the OP said and was why I was commenting on it.

But still, Willie is new and we gave him a job. I don't see why there is doubt that he can do it yet.

The difference between us and perceived successful clubs is the sponsorship they attract, plus the financial aid from the wealthy directors, plus the extra fans that successful clubs attract, not sure what you mean by we don't pounce when we need to, other than those successful clubs that do pounce and can afford to where as we don't usually have the finances unless that man who receives more criticism on here than even vastman pulls a tree up, personally unless Smith comes in an advisory capacity only and nothing more I'm not as confident as you and I don't realistically see Poching being on board.

Just can not understand these post on about things that will not happen

There are some on here complain about the lack of investment on players we can't afford, yet would like the club to invest in a coach we don't have the money for, we can't have both unfortunately.

Totally agree, this is a really daft thread.
