Yup, he didn't make signings (he picked Romaine Sawyers from Walsall to help integrate the group to him) but he had a say, they had 2 Technical Directors from memory (one also ran their reserve squad and made signings at that level) and their owner was moneyball based but it's been successful.Well if they can all work in unison, then great. I did hear that was how Smith operated at Brentford so it will be nothing new to him.
Jesus seems to have overseen some serious success at the clubs he was at.
Please, please, please can it just work out?
Smith was there to 'deal' and get the best from what he had more than wheel and deal.
Make that switch to a club of our size we won't be signing Messi, we'll sign two who could be the next and let them fight it out.
Jesus has a good record on face value but I'll look into him tomorrow.
