Him or Carr would probably be my picks if we did lose Smith. Not sure how Demetriou would view coming to SL at this stage.
I’m still not there yet on a Smith exit. He talks a lot of sense but there was always a lot riding on his decisions on retention and recruitment going into this year; and it looks wobbly.
If we do change coach I would want a 100% proven coach this time; not a punt, not a project, not a tryer but someone very highly rated. Furner, Agar, Smith - none were existing top flight coaches. Leeds is a big big job.
We also need to spend big. There’s no getting around the correlation between squad and results: and you have to pay for good players.
