Honestly this is disturbing. The story about Jesse Marsch and "championship strategy" is correct then. Reading between the lines the club will basically have no money and no players in the event of relegation. Marsch and Rafa have clearly told LCFC that taking this job on with  PL survival / Championship promotion expecting fans is suicide.

 

I don't actually mind the idea of Smith and Shakespeare at all. But it feels like a step towards financial ruin to me.

If this is indeed true, then the decision to delay the sacking of Rodgers is inexcusable.

Please stop saying “it can’t get any worse” because it’s the one thing we’ve been good at defying this season.

You trust this board not to keep him around in the Championship?

true - but at least it gives us the option should we lose 8/8 as interim ... but nothing would surprise me, its like a circus

This absolutely wreaks of the Dave Bassett/Mickey Adams power combo of 20 years ago *curls up in foetal position*

I think we have snookered ourselves by our inaction until it was too late, would have gone Dyche but that ship sailed so can’t see past Benitez sorry to say if we can convince him to come.

I really  don't think he'd be interested  without paying obscene amounts of money. Which we may not be able to afford.  Complete  bloody shambles all round

[EnderbyFox]

Dean Smith as in failed to keep Norwich up Dean Smith? 
 

Dean Smith who then got sacked by Norwich in the championship Dean smith? 

 

Christ this is making me yearn for Jesse Marsch

Seems like contract negotiations are being carried out in public via journos.

Go and get the 'let slip the dogs of war' tifo

[wokinghamfox]

I just want a manager who stands in his technical area, turns his head to the crowd and screams through a microphone "Are you not entertained". Does it everytime for me.🤣

[winteriscoming]

Could there be a more uninspiring appointment than Smith? 
If it’s between the two Rafa all day long. 

[fox_favourite]

My guess is we want Rafa, but if no agreement is reached, Dean Smith is in till the end of the season. 

[themightyfin]

Looks like Smith. 👍

I’ve got the same horrible feeling over 20 years on! We were talking to redknapp and George Graham etc back then only to end up with ****ing Bassett, looking like history is repeating itself😞

[whetstonefox]

All these leaks suggest there is not much harmony at the top of the club.A well run club would announce and be done. 

[NAKC20]

How about we get Dean Smith to do the 1st half's and Rafa Benitez do the 2 half's? Simples

[Gazza M]

In a way Smith did keep a shite Villa team up and Shakey is a club legend for me as part of the Pearson regime and assistant when we won the Premier League. 

 

Would prefer to Marsch to be honest.

Should never have sacked Rodgers this late in the season. Should have binned him off WC time or rode it all the way to the end.
