Why? Sacked by Saint Mirren after they won the Scottish Cup. Sacked by Aberdeen for winning the Scottish Cup and taking Graeme Souness' Rangers to the final day. Sacked by the new Dundee Utd chairman as he wanted a younger boss (Ian McCall who didn't fare any better). Sacked by Ross County after a mid-place position when he was asked to cut the size of his squad, including his assistant, for financial reasons. How many of those have been fair?

When Alex Smith was in charge of United, before a Rangers game at home he spent the week telling the fans how games against the filth were looked upon as 3 points lost. He spent the whole week leading up to the game telling the fans how anything against them was a bonus, how he would rather see his team attack & lose than sit back and lose. Saying how you had to be positive. We went down there thinking "Great we're going to have a go at them for a change". The formation was 5-4-1 - with CHARLIE FCUKIN MILLER playing the lone role up front. Never got the ball outside our own half for 90 minutes & it was no surprise to see him sacked. He spent MORE on wages than Jobbie McCall, God - ?4k per week for Jamie Buchan???????????????????

Seriously, Smith is an old school coach who's been out of the game for a while. There are far better managers out there than him.
