    Smithy....give over now lad.

    Just heard a piece of an interview he gave to Radio Sheffield. In it he claims it wasn't all about the money....

    He went on to say what convinced him to sign for Weds was the 'project' Darren Moore sold him that made it more appealing.

    Is he actually saying that remaining in League 1 and trying to gain promotion from a lower league, is more appealing than putting himself up against better quality players in the Championship and proving what a good player he is?

    Just get about your business Michael and move on, you making yourself sound silly.

    Might be true

    I saw Moore in Meadowhall last week buying an airfix kit

    agreed, at least Icky was clear it was the financial element for his family. Smiths comments means he believes that Moore is a better manager than Warne and that running a club beyond its means is better than running a club in a way that has intregrity. Because a PROJECT at Wednesday has to include the football and the running of the club, the culture of the club, the way employees are treated etc etc. Well it is a bit of an insult to PW and TS to make out that the Pigs project is better than the Millers project when you look at it holistically......................or more likely he is sucking up to the pigs fans. Really hope he falls flat on his arse, imagine us just below mid-table and wednesday losing in another play-off semi-final, the perfect season

    An easier life for more money. Doesn't happen very often does it?

    He's just tickling the piggies bellies! Saying that he's only there for the coin is hardly going to endear him to them is it. It's not pleasant from where we're sat, but it's just necessary fluff and flannel.

    He has to justify the move on more than purely monetary considerations and is merely going through the motions of saying the things that supporters expect from all new signings. However, Smith needs coaching in the special requirements of pig fans who expect to hear the words "massive", "sleeping giant", "a Premiership club in waiting" and "huge fan base" liberally sprinkled in every interview.

    Bri, I was moving on or had moved on, then he comes out with a statement like that. Yeh it's all bullshine but we don't need to hear it.
