I bet if Mr Simms did a suvey at our next match,the majority of our fan base would tell him how we could save money, by sacking himself. He goes on to tell, with the economy struggling everyone struggles.The solution is simply to try and be even smarter in how you are running your buisiness. From what people were saying at the Widness game, it seems to me that we should be running ours without him. You would think at a time like this, Mr Vievers needs all the funds he can get to put out a team for next season. He should keep a low profile. I did ask someone what he did,and I was told he is the chairman's eyes and ears. Shouldn't that be Mr Vievers' job? He should be the top man and it is his job that is on the line if things go pear shaped.

Oh, look, another 'Steve Simms is useless and we should sack him' thread, we haven't had one of those for a while.

Apparently, it was Simms who got the Korean flags mixed up the other day.



Nobody seems to completely know what Simms actually does, so he could be doing a good job for all we know.

Perhaps he introduced Kim Jong-Un to his new wife?



Mr Simms the Macavity of the RL world!

(TS Eliot for those who who need help)

Funny how he's always bad at his job when we lose a game!

That role needs doing by someone so it's not a potential saving

Now I get it.



To save money we bin SS and employ someone on less money who is better at the job?



Or bin SS and employ someone better at the job who costs more in wages!!



Odd that SJW got the consultancy firm in and they recommended getting rid of Tarry but not SS, maybe just maybe it's because he does what is required of him in a manner that befits someone of his experience and pay grade? Maybe we should throw in a cheeky bid on Simms wages for the guy who was released by City last year as I'm sure he'd love an in now he's at a lose end.

Are you Lance Todd in disguise?

Can someone explain why we actually need a director of football? Seemed to manage ok for numerous years without one?

TBF I think the OP is valid. If Simms is in charge of players contracts, why has he in recent years let out best players and youngster run into their last year of contract! Totally unacceptable from my POV, those who say well they might not to want to sign, well if they don't tell them they can go and try recoup some money as in the Smith case. Also Simms has a terrible record from signing injured players who did not pass a medical to players signed from youtube footage. I will admit I've got grievances with Simms and until someone proves to me he's fulfilling his role adequately I will remain sceptical.

On the other side of the coin: Broughton, Gleeson, Williams, Holdsworth, Smith, Patten — not a bad bloody crop. Swings and roundabouts chaps.

Are you seriously judging Simms tenure on 6 signings? What about the other, 100 maybe a rough estimate? Out of those signing your mention no-one wanted Smith we took a chance, we out bid Huddersfield for Patten whether people believe it or not. Holdsworth been OK. Didn't know much about Jodie, didn't he have an unsuccessful loan at Hull then released from Leeds on return. Can't honestly believe you think Simms has proved his worth by those signing. Very short sited if true.
