Tough job but sure he'll be glad to be back involved.

Makes sense for Smikle, he is a revalation in the Midlands.  I've seen him.

Good luck 'cote!

should always be remembered for being a great midfielder, great coach with kingy and bernard and a manager who took us up on no money.........and was fundamental in there being an alty today with his relationship with Geoff Goodwin.......what's a few punch ups between friends? :-)

Smikle far from good enough for Stafford, and I sure GH knows that

All the best 'Cote, I'm sure you'll do a cracking job there.

I actually think Smikle could do a job on loan there and maybe get a wee bit more confidence.

Matter of opinion that though really, I think he is certainly good enough to play at the bottom of the league below.  He was playing in League 2 about two and a bit years ago.   It hasn't and won't work out at Alty but at 28 there is every chance it will somewhere else.
