The more I read and hear since the arrival of Smith the more optimism I have for the future. Reading between all the lines I think Adam has finally realised he needed someone at the club that is experienced in the game and able to take over matters related to Rugby to leave him running the business aspect of the club.
I just do not see the issue of a potential falling out as AP has only shown loyalty and faith in the Coaching and at times a little bit too loyal and some blind faith which I believe is down to his desire for the club to be successful on the pitch.
AP even in the current climate has again made tough decisions which will come at a financial cost to him but fundamentally I believe the decisions made this time are not the gambles we have seen previously. Whilst there are never any guarantees things will work out as planned in this instance there is a much greater degree of probability that Smith will make a big and positive difference in moving the club forwards.
Had things stayed the same going in to next season I'd made the decision not to renew but the appointment of Smith and the noises coming form the club as a whole have thankfully changed my mind.
Good and interesting times are ahead and I feel there is already a feeling of genuine optimism and belief developing.
