It's not a Steve Bruce team, it's a Dean Smith team FFS. STFU

Yep, total bellend. Can barely string two words together, preferred the player version

Haha yes that makes sense

Di'Canio pushing that ref over? Sorry for late guess

He could always come back with summat like......... Well teams coached by me normally play you lot off the park.

I'll take your word for it, I'm none the wiser

Oh and why was he calling Jesus Suso ? Is that a nickname or summat

Just watched his interview with OS. He comes across as humble and not overawed by it all. Although I think when he walks out on Saturday to a full house he will get goosebumps for a while and then he'll settle down. Shame I can't make it. Also watched JT & ROK interview, you can tell who has had more media training. I think they're gonna fit with each other really well and it will be to our benefit.

Smith is showing em summat funny on his phone. Either his winnings from Sky Bet or the Championship table

I hope we do, but unfortunately the cabbage throwing idiot will probably be there booing.

Having had a few hours to take this in, I'm ready to say a few words...... Doug Ellis was one of my earliest memories of Villa, mainly passed on by my late Dad. He lived through both versions of him being chairman . Regardless of your personal opinion of him he was Villa through and through and everything he did (right or wrong) was for the best for Villa, or at least what he believed was the best. We certainly wouldn't be worried about FFP under him for one thing. My other half met him a few times and always said he was polite and respectful to her, unlike some other people she came across in her work. I didn't agree with naming a stand after him but I would gladly see it changed to the Sir Doug Ellis Stand in his memory. He deserves his position in our history. We have lost many Villa heroes in my time and although he didn't score the goals or wear the shirt he should be remembered the same as those that did. Villa won't be the same without him and no cabbage throwing muppet will change that. RIP Doug, you will be missed

I think NSWE and Purslow will have patience and give them plenty of time. They seem to be trying to build a dynasty (for want of a better word). A complete change of style and structure isn't a quick fix, it can take months if not years, especially from our starting point. Smith being a fan and Terry having a good year last year will earn them a little extra patience from the fans (apart from the ones that will never be happy) and I believe the large majority of fans will accept this is a long process. What will help things along will be a good start and some good football. We have some quality players, both in first team and U23's and they will all know this could be their time. We've had a challenging decade or so, so maybe this is finally the pay off, the chance we have been waiting for. Properly rich owners and young forward thinking coaching team. It isn't rocket science, even though Villa do seem to make it look like it is.

First day of training.... JT: ?Stand by me? Mile: Ok cobba JT: Not you Mile, you ain't a centre back mate Mile: But... But... But Axel: Is it my turn now Hutton: But I thought you were a right back Axel Axel: ??? Hogan: Can I play now

Let's get behind the new team, and help them get us out of this god awful league

If it's gonna be Terry then he'll need a good number two

I'm done now.... Honest

Isn't this all just speculation anyway, a bit like Jesus

I wonder if he'll visit the lepers at the Sty or fix all the blind refs

If he fecks it up then he'll be Judas

Or they will all be doubting Thomas's

He's not a miracle worker...... Oh hang on

I'd be happy with Terry as a number two or assistant coach. Rodgers or Benitez as numero uno

This reminds me of that kid on Kindergarden Cop

There will be a mass exodus

How many people does Smith have with him? Cos if its a whole army then what's the point. Too many cooks and all that
