dappadan Posted November 7, 2021 Share Posted November 7, 2021 Absolutely gutted for him that it couldn't be turned around. Feel gutted that's Jack and Smith gone, huge part of what made me love Villa again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuperTed Posted November 7, 2021 Share Posted November 7, 2021 Mods maybe keep this in On Topic for a while? Dean Smith is Villa through and through, same as most of us 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Agreed we don’t want to continue along this path. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

New Coach needs to bring in his own people 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HongKongVillan Posted November 7, 2021 VT Supporter Share Posted November 7, 2021 Thank you Dean. You contributed in turning around this club, the promotion year and that run that we had under your realm will never be forgotten All the best Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaJ100 Posted November 7, 2021 Share Posted November 7, 2021 Wow that Man U win seems a long time ago now. That Wolves game... So here's our answer. it seems you're only ever 5 losses away from the sack Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vive_La_Villa Posted November 7, 2021 Share Posted November 7, 2021 Thanks Dean for everything and some great memories. Will always be fondly remembered. One of our own. Time to move on. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If anyone thinks this squad is challenging for anything but survival, they're hideously misinformed. Not that im arguing with you but before the season started everyone was saying what an amazing transfer window we'd had. What's changed? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post M_Afro Posted November 7, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted November 7, 2021 I have said many times that Dean was never my choice. I am also behind the decision of the board today but my goodness I feel so sad right now. Genuinely never wanted a man to prove me wrong so desperately. Given us some special moments but more importantly he has made me love my club again in a way that I haven’t since I was a young boy. Thank you Dean for making me believe again. Good luck you lovely man. 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LancsVillan Posted November 7, 2021 Moderator Share Posted November 7, 2021 Last time we changed manager in November was Remi Garde, that worked out well! Already seeing arguments about the type of manager we need.... "Experienced Premier League manager" to "xyz" - who will leave their current Champions League side.... For me it's a poisoned chalice for next guy in. Will have to get improvements immediately as those who supported Dean will be keen to jump on every slip up. Like when Fergie left and Moyes replaced him. Finally - Thanks Dean for taking us from such a low point to where we are today. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul33 Posted November 7, 2021 Share Posted November 7, 2021 Right move but, for me, he leaves on good terms and with thanks for being a part of some of my greatest Villa memories in the 53 years I've been watching them. Thanks Deano, keep your head high mate ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sadly the calendar year as a whole has yielded about a point a game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What's changed? I think we were all wrong. Bailey, Buendia have looked poor, there was clearly no rationale behind Ings. The failure to improve the midfield......well.
