I didn't say he had or hadn't but I have been in business long enough to know the old saying that they want to spend time with their family is often a cover to they are being pushed out.

I just hope he hasn't.


I don't think DS was being pushed out, i think deep down the role has changed i.e Media duties etc.  When DS first did the Mariners Youtube you could see how uncomfortable he looked as he hasn't done anything like that before.

I did wonder when we went out for a Head of Commercial if Dave would end up leaving. I think the people that the board wanted to cast aside were done early doors and like others have said, he's received a much better send off than the others have done.

Whilst it may seem heartless, let’s assume he has been pushed out, do you think it’ll impact the club negatively? Are we missing any of the old guard?

I have the opposite experience. Dave is easily recognisable in his dapper suit as he makes his way across the pitch from the Main to the Upper a few minutes before kick off. Doesn't look like he's put a pound on since his playing days. I've still got a mug from the 1998 double Wembley season with a photo of Danny Coyne, Dave, Livvo and Macca on it.

I recently stayed in a holiday home owned by a former Town player. The pool guy said what a pleasant guy the owner was and also his friend, and former team mate, Dave Smith. That anecdote partially made up for having to miss the Rochdale and Sutton games.

I have had a few dealings with Dave and I have always found him engaging and easy to talk to. He has always gone out of his way to help others.

A genuine bloke who will be missed.

Sad to see Dave go but yet another legacy of the previous regime. I understand that another, perhaps less surprising, change has also taken place.

No disrespect to Dave who has worked hard as a player and as part of the staff and no doubt endured like many others in the Fenty era but I reckon this is another example of the leadership looking to bring in wider experience, skills and expertise at a time when someone decent moves on to another chapter.
