Hull FC • Re: Smith - should he stay or should he go?

If, as expected, we take another hammering on Friday (especially if we are REALLY hammered) and Smith is still in the hot-seat for the Huddersfield game next week, then we will have to assume that he really is going nowhere and will remain in charge until the end of the year, at the very least.
If he isn't removed from post after three consecutive fifty-plus point defeats, then it's difficult to see what would make Pearson pull the plug. If he's not going to get rid of him this weekend, then why next? What difference would another catastrophic loss make to the overall balance sheet.
Don't forget Pearson stood by Radford even on the back of a 11/12 game losing streak.
If what someone was saying the other day is true, that the club had written this season off before it began, then I think that says that Smith is here to stay regardless of how many games we lose or how many points we lose by because they won't be bothered about the results. What we have to hope for in that case is that there is a genuine plan behind the scenes that they are working on to improve things and that they are actually seeing that plan coming to effect behind the scenes. That doesn't help us supporters who only see what happens on the pitch but hopefully we start seeing something as the season progresses. I'm thinking Radders first two seasons in charge which were pretty dire but resulted in improvement beyond that.
I feel I am clutching at straws here though. It really doesn't feel like there's a plan at all at the moment and we're pretty directionless.
