IVOR BEEKS - Wycombe Chairman - Monday 30 September 1996 talking to press "The board of directors decided that the results decided the situation. You are judged on points and results and both of them accepted that situation" ALAN SMITH - Monday 30 September 1996 talking to press "I think one has to be honest and say the results have not been what we would have wanted, but there have been lots of reasons for that. I am not going to go into the ins and outs of it now" DAVID KEMP - Monday 30 September 1996 talking to press "I don't think Alan was particularly accepted when he came here and it's not run smoothly since and it's been very difficult for him...I do think there are problems within the club and until they are addressed the club cannot go forward as the Chairman hopes." NEIL SMILLIE - Caretaker Manager - Monday 30 September 1996 talking to press "It was a bit of shock for everyone concerned and it will take a little while for us to settle down..We just have to go out with the attitude that we are going to win this game (Rotherham)." TERRY EVANS - Team Captain - Monday 30 September 1996 talking to press "The lads who did not get on with the boss are over the moon and they will be pumped up, and others may not" MIDWEEK FREE PRESS - Editors Comments - Tuesday 1 October 1996 "Alan Smith had to go and go right now. Well done to Wycombe's board for recognising that" ALAN SMITH - Tuesday 1 October 1996 Daily Mail "The fans weren't happy with me. I don't think they could relate to me. They thought I was a bit of a Flash Harry up from London with a big car" TERRY HOWARD - Friday 4 October 1996 Bucks Free Press "I will not be shedding any tears for Mr Smith..People will think I'm being bitter because I was released by him, but most of the other players will say the same. Some of them phoned me and were cheering down the phone" ALAN PARRY - Friday 4 October 1996 Bucks Free Press "In the end it comes down to how you communicate your ideas to your players and what respect they have for you - and clearly he had a major problem in that area." ALAN SMITH - Friday 4 October 1996 Bucks Free Press "I wanted the best for the players and I wanted the best for the club but there was always this undercurrent. I'm more disappointed than I'm letting on at the moment and I'll be more more disappointed as I think about it over the next few weeks." |
