Sydney Kings NBL owner and lifelong Dragons fan Paul Smith has rubbished suggestions he is interested in purchasing St George Illawarra calling the club a ‘dumpster fire’.
Speaking on SEN Sydney on Wednesday afternoon, Smith offered some advice to the battling organisation.
“That’s a mess, that’s a train wreck and a dumpster fire all rolled into one,” Smith said.
“I love that the notion of the club and what it represents, I only want the best for them. They’ve got to form a long-term plan and articulate that.. I don’t give advice normally but if you asked me I’d share that -what lacks there is a clarity about a future and vision.
“You’ve got to eliminate that short-term planning and you’re seeing a bit of that with the Wests Tigers, they’ve got a five-year plan with their coaching.. it may be wrong but at least they’ve got a plan.
“I think that’s what these clubs in the doldrums need to do.”
The Dragons currently sit 11th and play Manly this weekend at Kogarah.
