POLL - Are you happy with the appointment of Smith, Shakey & Terry

[cityfanlee23]

It looks like this one is over the line and will be announced shortly, so really simple. Are you happy? and do you think we will now avoid Relegation?

[Nalis]

Wouldnt have been my first choice but if they end up here I'll want them to succeed.

[koop.]

Yes to both 

Let's go

Where’s the option for an indifferent shrug?

I was going to add it but this is now a dictatorship and I'm forcing you to choose

[FoxesWalk]

I’ll get behind them, but I can’t see us surviving this season. Will be better than the great escape IMO if we pull it off from the dire position we have put ourselves in on and off the pitch 

[Poznan34]

Backs to the wall, great escape round two, let's go

[Balj]

As long as it’s a short term appointment I’ll live with it - if we stay up ffs don’t give them a long term deal and if we stay up or go down replace them with better in the summer.

[StonyFox]

It gives us a very slim chance. But my worry is the damage has already been done with league position and player mentality. Especially with a group of them leaving and the end of the season no matter what happens. 

 

But I'll get behind them and get my hopes up!

It is what it is. Could have been better, could have been worse.

 

Really not the worst decision given the situation (timing of sacking brendan, likelihood of relegation etc)

A short term deal to then reassess in the summer is what we needed, and given that, these fellas are probably the best option that would actually take the job.

[Mr Mister]

Is it official?

[Stadt]

I normally lean pessimistic with LCFC but I’m content with this. On an interim basis I think there’s enough talent between the three of them and certainly enough grit to keep us up. Shakey’s done it before and Smith had a cobbled-together Villa team 11th.

 

My concern is they’ll have too much faith in Vards

[cityfanlee23]

The fans don't think we will stay up @Top there is still time shut it down 

[The Doctor]

indifferent, could have done much worse but they don't inspire me with confidence we'll stay up. Fingers crossed they prove me wrong though 

[Corky]

More negative because it is uninspiring and I was fully behind the Benitez choice that looked clear at lunchtime. I hope that they can produce something better than the dirge we've served up for most of the season.

[HitchinFox]

Much more confident in those guys to give us a chance to bounce back next season, than I would in Marsch and his corporate, feel-good, high-energy b*llshit. 

Nothing can save us from relegation this season, but we need to make sure we come straight back up. 

 

[alanf0x]

Would have been much more confident if they had the last two games. No chance now unfortunately

[fox_favourite]

Best thing is there is someone who knows the club and he is good coach. Shakey might be the key to all this. Hopefully Terry can put some sense into the defenders!! 

[South Shire Fox]

Im not going to lie, im far more optimistic now i know Terry will be joining aswell. Think he will be massive for his leadership and coaching of the defence. Could generally see the mentality of the squad being being changed now. Obviously it will come down to Smiths tactics which im

not convinced about so its still 50/50. But Shakespeare and JT are deffo good to have in the dressing room

My OCD enjoyed this 

[dannythefox]

I just think there’s too much damage done to survive. This will be better than the great escape if we come through this. 

[Guest bennytwohats]

Happy we are making a move on someone. On it’s his own Smith doesn’t fill me with confidence but it does seem to make sense for what we need, with the other two in the mix it actually looks quite appealing.

 

I voted no to staying up as I think there is a lot to do and on balance it is a big ask, but I think we’ve got a fighting shot. A look at the fixtures for others gives me hope as well as there are six pointers everywhere

[TJQuik]

I think they'll be better than Curly and Larry but I couldn't vote that I'm feeling positive about them being here...

[adejo92]

Our choices were always going to be limited and there's much worse possibilities.

 

Hopefully Terry might be able to guide our defence in the right direction.

 

Most important thing, we've got to give them Man City as a free pass.

 

The real business starts after that fixture.

 

 

[Ashy2165]

Rather Terry was coming to play at CB but I’m pretty happy with this appointment.

 

 Team needs some direction.
