I'm sure Smith would have stayed if Leeds stayed up, because he'd have got first team football at a club he loves. However I'd never expect him to play in the first div, and I think it's unreasonable of fans to have expected that of him. The club went down because when push came to shove there just wasn't enough fight in the players, but Smith was the one player who fought for everything. If Leeds stayed up it would have been down to one player.

I'm not paticularly happy about him coming to United. I think he's been quite a dirty player, and I don't seem him being anything other than another Forlan. However I'm looking forward to seeing what happens with him, there seem to be some big names backing his move (Dennis Law for one!!!!)
Well said and also most of the player carrier will short period and they want to make money and play as much as possible in higher level. It is real unfair of fan to call someone to stay. I'm sure if that fan would have been a player, he defnetly do what Alan did.
And if u stay up and he lose his form, will the club keep him first 11?. And i'm sure they even seel him to other club.
