Love the bloke but Smith got found out tactically. His plan A of high press, attacking football soon got countered and nullified. We all saw it, his in game management was poor when teams were set up right against us and he couldn’t, or wouldn’t, change it. He relied on Grealish to dig us out a hole. What we saw then were negative, reactive tactics, an over reliance on certain players who wouldn’t get dropped despite being out of form, just to keep the atmosphere right in the dressing room when things were going wrong as he tried to find a solution. He’s gone at the right time before his legacy was soured.

Let's not forget that Bruce is a master of PR spin, the Terry to Sporting thing is all a smokescreen so that when he joins us, Bruce can get all the plaudits for persuading him to join Villa, gives him a few extra weeks to turn it around.

Exactly who did they poll, Bruce's fan club members I think. There are far more people dissatisfied with Bruce than happy with him. Too many believe the Project Fear mongers that we are doomed without him.

I'd sack Bruce and promote Delaney, he's done a great job with the U23. Build the whole system for the future.

Beach football next season

Toilet paper journalism. Did you see the way Dr Tony celebrated the play off semi final win, there was the passion of a fan! Was Lerner ever that passionate, no, fake tattoo or not. He won't sell, it would be reputationally damaging for him to be labelled a failure.

Such a long post !

We haven't had a plan B all season, so what makes us believe the naive Dr or useless Wyness gave one ? Lets just make Gabby CEO.

I am working abroad for 2 weeks and want to catch games on AVTV, will I need to register a new account as my existing one is uk registered. Also, will my UK credit card work?

I am working abroad for the next 2 matches and I wanted to pay to watch on AVTV. Does anyone know if you can do this if your account is registered in the UK and you allowed to pay to watch the match with a UK Credit Card?

Seville. Wonder if the Dr got his £25m......nah!

Better to enjoy not getting promoted then hate finishing 13th

With all these issues about regarding hacking and recommendations for using VPN, what is the best one for value for money?

Watching dire football, losing 1 nil every week. Oh and in League 1.

He needs to seriously up his game and play more attractive attacking football and take the game to our opponents, otherwise next season will be wasted as well. If he does that, i will change my opinion, but I don't think it is in his nature to change his approach sadly.

Here here, well said.

Totally agree ! Get Rowett in now to bed in for the rest of the season and then get automatic promotion next year.

Villa sold to Indian Millionaire after relegation to the first division following 3 years of no investment after initial spending spree by Dr Xia fails to get Villa out of the Championship and he refused to throw anymore money at Gabby.

I think we all thought Guzan, Richards, Veretout / Sanchez would be gone by now, shit happens.

100% still on and always has been. These things just take time.

Probably need PL approval as we will be receiving parachute payments from them. They will want to know where their money is going.

And people think Lerner lost so much money owning Vills, suspect substantial funds being siphoned off each year. Probably paid himself a massive wage, hence why wages so high.

It really does suprise me how negative people have been to a manager who has a 50% win ratio in his career, who has won the Champions League, and been promoted to the Premier League. And all for a man of 45 ! GET REAL VILLANS, THIS IS A COUP !

There are plenty of negative threads already. I'm still excited about what the coming months will bring.

Is he any different ti Abramovic?
