sharkyvilla Posted May 27, 2019 Share Posted May 27, 2019 Thank you Dean, I'm on holiday and thought I'd never ever agree to enter an English pub abroad but **** me the atmosphere was great, so proud to be with other Villa fans watching that as there are hardly any back home where I live in Sussex. Love the man, how we got promoted from where we were is pretty miraculous. Here's to next year, up the Villa! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Villan4Life Posted May 27, 2019 Share Posted May 27, 2019 https://www.telegraph.co.uk/football/2019/05/27/dean-smith-reveals-pledge-father-said-next-time-come-see-premier/ Quote Dean Smith has revealed how he made a Premier League pledge to his father, Ron, before taking Aston Villa back into the top flight. Smith has ended his beloved Villa’s three-year exile from the top tier to fulfil a promise to his father, who is in a home with dementia. A matchday steward at Villa Park for over two decades, Ron’s illness means he does not even know his son is head coach of the club. And after the win over Derby at Wembley, Smith said: "I went to see my old man on Friday and I managed to get his eyes open for two minutes maximum. I said, ‘next time I come and see you, I’ll be a Premier League manager’. “He smiled, if not anything more. Hopefully there was an understanding but it's a terrible illness. For me, that was enough. “The reality is just setting in. The last time I sat here I was not so good as we'd just lost 2-0 in the Checkatrade Trophy final with Walsall. “Now I am sat here and we’ve won a play-off final and I'm a Premier League manager. It’s a little bit surreal.” Villa finished bottom of the league when they were relegated in 2016 but Nassef Sawiris, one of the club’s owners, has insisted “the sky is now the limit”. Anwar El Ghazi and John McGinn scored Villa’s goals, resisting a late bombardment from Derby, who replied through substitute Jack Marriott, to ensure captain Jack Grealish lifted the trophy. Grealish, like Smith, is also a lifetime Villa fan and has been backed to make a huge impact next season. Smith said: “I've got a special connection with the lad, he's a Villa fan, he's been through a lot in his career so far. “A lot of people's perceptions of him are him lying in a road when he was 17 or 18. He was thrust into the limelight as a young kid, but boy the kid has matured. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Johnnyp Posted May 27, 2019 Share Posted May 27, 2019 Remarkably calm in the aftermath i thought. He wants to make a mark in the premier league, make no mistake. He'll probably be back at work in 2 weeks planning and preparing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest av1 Posted May 27, 2019 Share Posted May 27, 2019 (edited) I was in the Army for 94 and 96 and too young to remember 82 so this is the first thing I've ever seen us win, and i got to share it with my 14yr old son. Thank you Dean. Edited May 27, 2019 by av1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pressure is off him, he's got us up ahead of schedule and will now have a chance to implement what he thinks is a good football team with a budget comparable to most other teams in the league - this is the exact reason we were all so nervous about today, because we can see it, but could not know it until we won.
