RicRic Posted November 7, 2021 Share Posted November 7, 2021 This is really sad yet probably the right decision, hes gave me some of the best wins ive ever seen with Villa i.e liverpool, arsenal, united as well as playing some gracious football at times, ill be forever grateful for what he has done for the club he supports just as much as us and he even he will know it was the right decision as the money we spent hasn't been reflected on the pitch ultimately thanks for everything Deano Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rodders Posted November 7, 2021 Share Posted November 7, 2021 Sad way to end, always a villan though and he came across as a gent. Right decision, but good luck to him and he gave us a lot of good memories, still had time to squeeze a win at old trafford before he left. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rds1983 Posted November 7, 2021 VT Supporter Share Posted November 7, 2021 Very sad to see Dean go. I want all Villa managers to succeed but I've not wanted a manager to succeed as much as him since Gregory or Little. Thank you for all the great memories and making me enjoy being a fan again. Whilst it was probably inevitable that it would happen as something had gone wrong, I'm sure both Dean and Villa will bounce back. UTV Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BleedClaretAndBlue Posted November 7, 2021 Share Posted November 7, 2021 What a top bloke and custodian he has been for AVFC. Did the job we needed of him getting us up when he did at first attempt, if we didnt we really could have been in the wilderness. Some great memories ill always think fondly of him. Will always be one of us. Its all a bit sad its come to this but 5 losses was always going to call for a rethink at boardroom level. Interesting to see what we conjure up next, we need some direction now and a new voice and fresh ideas at BMH might be just what this squad need to get out of this funk. Thanks for everything Deano. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But in reality, where has that football gone, it was not all about Grealish. Edited November 7, 2021 by foreveryoung Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Steve Posted November 7, 2021 Share Posted November 7, 2021 Thanks for getting this great club back on its feet, for your passion, and for bringing a different philosophy.

AndyM3000 Posted November 7, 2021 Share Posted November 7, 2021 I think we needed to change. The system wasn't working, it didn't feel like a Smith team anymore. I'm not sure he wanted some of these players but we needed to get more out of them. I'm just sad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villa89 Posted November 7, 2021 Share Posted November 7, 2021 Good man who did a good job. Time was right to part ways and he'll alway be welcome back at VP. Hopefully his replacement can move us up a level. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JAMAICAN-VILLAN Posted November 7, 2021 Share Posted November 7, 2021 (edited) I reckon this is why Matty Targett was so sad in Southampton post match as well you know, they probably knew. Edited November 7, 2021 by JAMAICAN-VILLAN 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The failure to improve the midfield......well. As perslow said in the address to the fans when grealish left its impossible to replace him, which is true but it seems the way they replaced him, looking at stats to give us what jack gave us has been badly implemented It really has looked like there was no plan how to integrate these signings (Bailey being injured hasn't helped) The board got the Smith appointment right, he did the job required but now we need to move on not treat water 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. We all love Dean, but let’s face it to compare following him, particularly after this year, to following Fergie is a bit much. Emotionally it’s tough but certainly results and to be honest recently performances shouldn’t be too hard to improve on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
