Popular Post Spoony Posted June 27, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted June 27, 2021 Let’s take a moment to appreciate that he’s taken us from a championship nothing team to a team where we have various international players representing us at various international tournaments. What a manager. 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Silvers Posted June 27, 2021 Share Posted June 27, 2021 6 minutes ago, DCJonah said: Absolutely. But dreaming is one thing. The owners demanding it and sacking him if he doesn't achieve it is very different. I don't think it'll be that harsh , I think we have a longterm goal of competing every season for honours and euro places and next years target will be set. I don't think Deano will get the chop if we are near but I'd think they would seriously consider it if we stagnate or God forbid go backwards. I am a realist normally DC but I just have this gut feeling about us, I think we are on the cusp of a great period in our history 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ciggiesnbeer Posted June 27, 2021 Share Posted June 27, 2021 Just loving where the project takes us. Dean Smith has transformed how we play. I wonder what he and the backroom staff have cooked up in the offseason? Gonna be fun 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abdulaziz1 Posted June 28, 2021 Share Posted June 28, 2021 Smith will have a real challenge, he’ll need to use he’s trying to build properly. We might hopefully get ESR, Sarr and Alvares (plus a defender). How will he use them? How will he rotate? When will he sub? He’ll need to manage them properly and not losing the dressing room. It’s not like dealing with Elmo or Taylor. Nor even Davis or Engels. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Deano was manager, we could have had seven Villa starters for England today. Jack Watkins the back four and Ross Barkley 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaChris Posted June 29, 2021 Share Posted June 29, 2021 Imagine if Grealish wins euros and Emi wins the Copa (beating Brazil in final with Doug on the bench). Brilliant for our status and attracting more quality players but little bit more pressure on Dean then as clubs with key players for best international teams in world football aren't usually found scrambling around 10th or 11th in league tables, usually fighting for top 4 and in cup finals. Looking forward to the next two years for us. Going to be fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ender4 Posted June 30, 2021 Share Posted June 30, 2021 Dean Smith has now been at Villa for 2.5 years, making him the 6th longest serving Premier League manager.

All while our little Deano continues to progress, already signed Buendia and Young with more targets in mind. Other clubs can have their big name, I'll keep Dean if it was my choice. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
