He has already noticed the imbalance in the team and he will plan each game meticulously rather than just 'work hard. Seriously excited about the future...we are going to be a FOOTBALL side at last!

That's funny.....didn't see any fitness related work in that video....it was all technique. I do believe that is what johnnyp is referring to.

If you think so. I don't think we will.

Unfortunately, I believe the Brentford boy is correct. I can't see us being able to sign many players in Jan. We may have to recall a couple of loans if we can...especially n defence....attack wise, we are sorted!

I love this guy's approach '4 R's of football' as opposed to Bruce's 4 W's Work hard Work hard Work hard Work hard #thereorthereabouts

I bet Smith is absolutely licking his lips about the prospect of working with our current squad in an attacking sense. He has had to work wonders with bargain basement players for years. With our defence being so weak at the moment, best form of defence will be to press hard up the pitch and keep ball in their half. Knowing it will take time, I'm really looking forward to seeing how this develops. We have been anti-football for over 10 years!

We're safe then....JT won't be sniffing around that!

Bruce has gone now so Hogan won't have to play RB!

Is Mendes his agent?

Hope this thread gets to 3300 pages for all the right reasons!

Did the same! Lol

What does Dean Smith's missus look like?

Henry decides Monaco is not the place for him....Brentford is!

Right.....I'm gonna call it now. We get promoted to PL and when Jesus decides he doesn't fancy it anymore, DS to DOF and JT becomes manager! There....I did it!

Welcome Dean and Jesus....Welcome back JT and more importantly welcome to modern football AVFC we have been expecting you!

You mean 'Moneyball' approach?? If only we'd tried that! Oh wait!

How come DS didn't mention our unique brand of football......Brucalona Turdball??

But surely, he followed Mourinho's decisions like our coaches followed Bruce's?!?!

Guys....to say that this is signs the new board is looking weak or unprepared is horse shit! I would prefer them to be thorough and get the right man in than rush and get it wrong again. I expect that they have got a couple of good advisors in Mendes and the new DOF. Just sit back and watch.

First of all, Ole 'Arry is nothing more than crap spouting gobshite. Always has been. I remember when he was sure that Younes Kaboul was joining us when he wanted him at Portsmouth. As for Henry, it could be that he is just being professional and actually committed to the job he's being paid for right now and maybe measuring the mettle of the new owners/board to see if they will allow him to create his vision on AVFC without too many restraints. Just seems strange that the only real comments made in the media about the job have been from Smith and Rodgers and No one from either Henry's or Terry's camps have 'leaked' any denials all. Even Kevan Grealish knew Jack wasn't going to Spurs and made that clear to their so called ITK's. We'll just have to wait and see what transpires.

Seriously?? Is that all he does? How uneducated is this drivel?

The thing for me in all of this is that we are aiming high and if said people will talk to the club, it shows that we are still thought of as a big club. We ain't scratching around in a bargain basement here are we?

^^^ you seem to be good at trying to play devil's advocate without any serious evidence to back you up.....read TRO's response mate! We have to try something new for a football club that has been stuck in the dark ages of football for too long!

Well he knew how to disorganise defences so he might start there ?

Thought Terry has only announced retirement as a player....not from football. So why would it be an ultimatum?
