Now Smith is here we have no more excuses for failure. We need to stick with him and accept that his decisions are part of the development of the club even if we don't like them. If he decided to walk the message would be very clear and very very worrying.
Depends what you mean by failure? What are our ambitions under Tony Smith?
He can't turn a team of underachieving, spineless players into world beaters over night. He needs to lay his foundations, get rid of the dross and the players who don't want to be here, and freshen things up both in terms of ability and attitude. If he only stays here for 2 or 3 years, I won't be expecting silverware, but I think he'll leave the club in a fantastic position for whoever comes in after him.
