If we don't get promoted this year we will have to sell all saleable assets, we will be left with kids and loans. I don't think anyone would be prepared to see us drop into the 3rd division under any circumstances so I'm struggling to see the logic in it. I'm surprised that you think Smith would have a negative effect on the Villa team. He's a much better coach than Bruce, and he get's his message and tactics across to average players. The sum total of the Brentford team is greater than it's individual parts. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope to hell he plays a different style of football to his partner in crime. I doubt it. One thing's for sure, he's not going to want to be there or there abouts... I'll keep an open and accepting mind.. Just don't get this way of thinking at all......if there is a villa fan alive that wouldn't want Mourinho and his 'style' at Villa Park then they need to give their head a wobble! I think anyone that believes a manager is going to come into the unbalanced car crash of a squad we have and suddenly play total football is in for a shock! Even Dean Smith will need at least 18 months to get the team playing anywhere near the level of Brentford's football....he's had years to set everything up at Brentford, under no pressure whatsoever......he'll be lucky to get 18 games at Villa before people are asking questions! Faria has worked at 2 of the world's biggest 3 clubs. He knows what pressure is. People who are now speaking of Mourinho in a what is a similar vein to Bruce are simply morons. Go back and watch his Porto side, watch his Real Madrid side. Tell me they didn't play with flair! His Chelsea side first time around were fantastic to watch. He has become even more dour this season and his results/performances are not what we've come to expect.....but hey, do you think that might be because Faria isn't there?....strange that isn't it? Perhaps Rui Faria has a different philosophy of the game. Perhaps he wanted Utd to play a more expansive, free flowing attacking game but Mourinho had become a little too reserved, we just don't know. The fact some fans have already decided he will be useless because he has worked for one of the greatest managers in the history of the game for 17 years is simply embarrassing. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A manager who will get his head down and do what he does best .... get the maximum out of the players at his disposal. He will improve us considerably, and will do so while others get on with buying and selling players and running everything else except for Smith's remit .... coaching and match day. We can revisit the managerial search for "THE ONE" in May (if necessary), when we have a lot more time and a clear picture of where we're at. Who knows, Smith may even get us promoted this season, but even if he doesn't we'll be in much better shape as a team. So you expect Smith to leave a pretty secure job where he is earning lots of plaudits for a 6 month stint with us whilst we figure out who we really want. Blimey that sounds right up there with the Chequers Plan as a negotiation tactic. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vreitti Posted October 10, 2018 Share Posted October 10, 2018 Makes zero sense to me, why on earth would we wanna appoint Rui Faria. Could someone please explain this to me? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
juanpabloangel18 Posted October 10, 2018 Share Posted October 10, 2018 Spoke to my mate who's a Chelsea fan, regards Rui Faria... - Basically thinks he's a genius - Very hands-on coach, will run training sessions himself - Apparently Jose once said "If I am the no1 coach in the world, Rui is the no2"... interesting that Man Utd's downturn in fortunes has coincided with his departure although maybe reading too much into that! 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IMO Smith is another Bruce type signing. If you are happy with appointing a Manager who has managed Walsall and Brentford then so be it. I'd rather go for someone proven at a top club than taking a gamble on Smith (A Villa Fan), whose career high is managing Brentford to mid table in the championship. We dont gamble with this appointment. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
