Made In Aston Posted November 7, 2021 Share Posted November 7, 2021 I think when the majority of fans, who are desperate for him to succeed, think he should be sacked you know the writing was on the wall. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wainy316 Posted November 7, 2021 Share Posted November 7, 2021 Really sad day but I guess it’s been coming. It goes further than the last 5 games, results this calendar year have just not been good enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
a m ole Posted November 7, 2021 Share Posted November 7, 2021 He’s been absolutely **** from all angles, club needed to make a call and I’m not mad at them but he’s a victim of circumstance here. Not sure we’ll ever know whose decision the new coaches were, but I hope Shakespeare, Danks and probably McPhee go because we don’t need continuity here. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’d like to think they are as I suspect they were the bigger issue than Dean. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the next appointment is one of the names I’ve seen touted on this message board then it won’t be the correct decision imo but if a next level manager then yes it will be. Over to Purslow and the owners now to take us to the next level, if they don’t then imo there was no need for the change. I’m struggling to get excited by any of the names out there but I’ll hold judgment until we know more… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Condimentalist Posted November 7, 2021 Share Posted November 7, 2021 Gutted. Hoped he'd get the international break to do some proper coaching and have another couple of games. I hope the club have a replacement lined up, or we could be in worse trouble. My favourite Villa manager by a mile, thanks for everything Deano 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NeilS Posted November 7, 2021 Share Posted November 7, 2021 A very Sad day, but it was inevitable after 5 defeats on the bounce. I liked Deano but he seems to have taken us as far as he could. The team conceded goals in the opening ten minutes in the last three games, after throwing away a 2-0 lead in the final ten minutes. We made life hard on ourselves the last five games. I am never happy to see our manager get sacked as it means we are failing. I hope we have someone decent lined up to come in quick. If we are still manager-less for the Brighton game then doubts over the ownership team will rise in my mind. It is time to show us they mean business with a strong appointment. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post TheLegendOfLeonBailey31 Posted November 7, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted November 7, 2021 I'll be honest.... pretty damn sad that this happened. 5 weeks ago would any of us ever expected this? 2-0 up with 10 to go against Wolves and we looked like we were poised for a top 8 finish... and here we are 5 straight on the bounce and Deano gone. I truly liked Dean Smith as a person. I like the way he carried himself. I love that he is a Villa fan. I'm obviously a Villa fan before being a Dean Smith fan... but all I can say is I hope they get the next hire right.... and he's as good as a person as he is a manager. Thanks for the memories Deano. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some beautiful memories in there. 4 minutes and 40 seconds of reminders of how this man rekindled my love for the club. Why'd it have to end like this.

Mazrim Posted November 7, 2021 Share Posted November 7, 2021 You can't be bad at a job for a whole year and expect to keep it. I love the guy and wish him well, but this was sadly unavoidable. We have to make a change and we have to get it right. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

villa4europe Posted November 7, 2021 Share Posted November 7, 2021 Disappointed, gutted for him as I think he's a genuinely good guy This season has been shit with consistency, sold Jack, can't get players fit, covid free, not pissing around in internationals and it just hasn't clicked Bottom 2 for distance covered, tackles and aerial duels... Players in horrific form like Targett, pretty much everyone dipped from last year... The argument will be who's fault is that and for me because I like deano I'm angry and the players, it's also very much a Villa problem, this isn't the first set of players we've had that aren't performing Brilliant what deano did post Bruce, some incredible games, Liverpool is arguably the greatest villa performance I've ever seen (we should have had more than 7...) Not a clue where we go next 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If that’s the case Dean was a beneficiary of circumstance when Grealish returned and we went on a 10 game winning run that got us play offs. Nobody has been wronged. Nobody has been **** over. It’s a results business and it wasn’t good enough. I’ve zero personal feeling towards him. Thanks for all he did, i wish him well and we move on. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dean is almost certainly still here. I respect that he wanted to pay his respect to Dean for everything he helped him achieve and get him to where he is now... but it still hurts 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
