Harsh to criticise Smith when clearly the problem is

the summer recruitment. But given the player recruitment was poor and there seems to be a consensus on that, it appears a very bad decision to sack Farke because his record on getting us promoted was exceptional. If DS isn’t as successful then it’s going to be a very bad decision.

- The club are excited with what’s under the bonnet remember (n/m) (NCFC) - loz, Dec 27, 11:42:27
  - Yep and when I posted about the summer recruitment (NCFC) - Chopper, Dec 27, 11:50:59
    - I thought we’d done ok but then I thought Normann was a CDM and (NCFC) - Jim, Dec 27, 12:54:16
      - Nope, agree Jim. Suppose buying players is always (NCFC) - Chopper, Dec 27, 16:56:17
- I think sacking farke can be right even if smith doesn’t turn out to be the one (NCFC) - SimonOTBC, Dec 27, 11:31:11
  - The reason Farke was sacked was because we had a squad capable of staying in the Prem (NCFC) - seminated_woolly, Dec 27, 11:48:59
    - That’s not unreasonable (NCFC) - SimonOTBC, Dec 27, 11:56:34
      - I think yesterday was among the worst I’ve seen, ever (NCFC) - APB, Dec 27, 12:09:47
        
        Yes but when he had the squad available, the team was performing better under Smith than (NCFC) - Jim, Dec 27, 13:39:03
        
        Yes, unfortunately it has other competition for worst performance (NCFC) - SimonOTBC, Dec 27, 12:17:50
        
        This. It’s so depressing. (n/m) (NCFC) - Under soil heating, Dec 27, 12:12:18
    - Yep, that’s my point too. (n/m) (NCFC) - Chopper, Dec 27, 11:53:20
      - And many pointed out at the time that was always likely to be the case (n/m) (NCFC) - loz, Dec 27, 11:55:52
  - Agree and disagree Simon (NCFC) - Chopper, Dec 27, 11:41:34
    - We can’t afford the players that Farke’s style needs (n/m) (NCFC) - CWC, Dec 27, 11:48:39
      - You beat me to it (n/m) (NCFC) - SimonOTBC, Dec 27, 11:54:25
      - That’s also a fair argument. (n/m) (NCFC) - Chopper, Dec 27, 11:51:43
- So we should have just accepted relegation then (NCFC) - SCC 28, Dec 27, 11:28:10
  - Of course not. That’s not what I said. (NCFC) - Chopper, Dec 27, 11:45:29
    - That’s hindsight though (n/m) (NCFC) - jamesward, Dec 27, 12:32:43
      - Yep, can’t disagree with that James although I’d hope (NCFC) - Chopper, Dec 27, 16:54:51
    - There have been lots of problems - not just 1 (NCFC) - SCC 28, Dec 27, 12:05:41
      - But given the quality of the signings possibly not. (n/m) (NCFC) - Chopper, Dec 27, 16:57:28
    - Vmt (n/m) (NCFC) - loz, Dec 27, 11:47:26
