I think most posters on here mean well ,myself included. The club’s situation is dismal at the moment ,but nothing like the time half the south stand after one game marched over the pitch to hurl abuse at the bemused occupants of the north stand. The directors at that time had steered the club into virtual bankruptcy. Fortunately they managed to give way to Caddick who eventually brought in Hethrington the rest as they say is history. So I am always loathed to put the boot into the club management. However we are in a downward spiral with no signs of a halt to this situation.
I will always support the team but another couple of seasons of the current garbage ,could potentially cause some major financial problems.
As for Smith reluctantly I would let him continue next season, if no improvement is shown then fire him. That may well be even three or four games into the new season. Obviously we urgently need to strengthen the team in key areas, easier said than done. Remember the good old days when you could pick up decent players relatively easy , Moon from Salford a classic example.

Yeah, we could do with a coach like that. But who? Oh, hang on. Isn't there a guy who inherited a cellar dwelling team last year and took an often depleted side on a long winning run (of effectively knock out games) all the way to the Grand Final. We should sack the current coach and get him in. Now, what was his name? Rohan something?

And has put them firmly back in the cellar this season....

While I take the point on coaching, it’s not that long ago Lam was practically chased out of Wigan. He’s had 2 years to build his squad and a he’ll of a lot of investment. The players he has this year could be deemed ‘cast offs’ but they’re all players he wanted, and a vast majority of them he had last year in the championship too.

I get it’s a what have you done lately thing is coaching, but I don’t think that’s a fair comparison.

So maybe time for some quality recruitment on the playing staff instead of this constant and counterproductive sacking of sacrificial lambs, sorry coaches.

I 100% agree.
GH needs to get the cheque book out and back Smith.
Then let's see what he's capable of with his own team.
