I don't disagree....

I just think without the ensuing success, we wouldn't be giving it the massive rose tinting treatment.

You're spot on that whoever followed had an uneviable task. Particularly given that Smith has shown that it's probably the players that aren't up to it rather than managerial issues.

Smith won't ever be as popular as Farke, but that's fine. On the pitch success is all that really matters and all that ever has. Lambert was a bit of a knob even when he was here, but we loved him because of the winning.

  - That's a better way of putting it yes (NCFC) - jAC, Aug 15, 13:22:36

    - Think of all the times the last minute winners that went in under Lambert and Farke (NCFC) - Trent_Canary, Aug 15, 13:26:23
      - There weren't any moments like that in Farke's first 12 months, were there? (NCFC) - SimonOTBC, Aug 15, 13:36:06
        
        I don't think that because Farke had time it necessarily follows (NCFC) - Cardiff Canary, Aug 15, 14:24:30
        
        For me though, the context you've set out there is a bit of rose tinting (NCFC) - SimonOTBC, Aug 15, 16:24:14
