ferguson1 Posted December 3, 2019 Share Posted December 3, 2019 I just find Dean Smith so infectious and a pleasure to listen to. Open, honest and everything he says makes perfect sense. Don’t think i’ll ever tire of listening to him. Dare I say it, but could he coach England one day? Some way to go in his managerial and coaching development, but I think he could. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zatman Posted December 3, 2019 Share Posted December 3, 2019 Its a bit of a cliche at this stage but if he was foreign or a more media friendly accent the media would be all over him Thankfully for us he is slipping under the radar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As an American what would be considered a more media friendly accent? I have no problem understanding Dean in his interviews and Pressers. Jack can be a little difficult at times and well John, I love the guy, but I have any clue what he is trying to say. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villalad21 Posted December 4, 2019 Share Posted December 4, 2019 I find this absolutely disgusting and disrespecting. Someone tell EA that Dean Smith isn't a 90 year old man. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

screwdriver Posted December 4, 2019 Share Posted December 4, 2019 Have to give credit to Smith for his performance in todays pre match conference. Watch it now! The journo digging away about Terry.... then telling SMith that grealish is just what Man utd need at the mo Smith turned the tables magnificently by starting to talk about wolves and Neves. It's so so true Wolves have been able to go quietly about their business improving season on season without any of the star names being even sniffed out by "so called big clubs" It's time someone like Everton or Arsenal blew nuno out the water with an 8 figure salary and an unlimited supply of monatomic beard oil. And how come neves can go under the radar for so long? even Doherty surely could double his salary somewhere else. Lets see how thwe wolfs handle it when their manager and players get tapped up and become unsettled. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Southgate for one or Eddie Howe. Its nothing to do with his accent per se but the fact he is not a media man or a Londoner means he goes under the radar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vive_La_Villa Posted December 4, 2019 Share Posted December 4, 2019 I love Smith. Best manager we’ve had in years and I wouldn’t want anyone else in charge right now. But If i’m being completely honest do I find his press conferences a bit boring to watch. But that’s probably because his such a nice respectful guy so it’s kind of a compliment.

Fits in nicely with the 'glass of rioja and prawn tempura' way the game is going.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foreveryoung Posted December 4, 2019 Share Posted December 4, 2019 You can rip Wes all you want, but what is Smith waiting for? An why play him for 90 minutes when he does next to fack all. In reality he is losing us games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jackbauer24 Posted December 4, 2019 Share Posted December 4, 2019 This is where Dean Smith earns his money. It's practically all gone right since he took over but now he needs to start making the hard calls. Everyone can see the stars of last year in McGinn and Mings clearly need a rest. He also needs to be thinking about how to deal with our strike situation. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dudevillaisnice Posted December 4, 2019 Share Posted December 4, 2019 Have no issues with him wanting to move Kodjia on in Jan however he should still be used as an option before then though in my opinion especially as Wesley is struggling. I hope this talk of no strikers coming in is just that, we desperately need some firepower - we need to spend in Jan. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even though Chelsea are a better team (some say), we were very lethargic, not helped by Wes being completely useless in front of goal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
