You have seen speculation in the media about other managers the same as the rest of us. For all you know the Smith/Terry duo was their aim from day one. If you do have some inside knowledge on the new owners feel free to share it but you will be asked to provide some kind of evidence by everyone on here. Stop it please it was just a passing comment on a discussion forum. I didn't realise I was standing up in Court:)Stop what? I thought your comment was unnecessary and I called you on it. Why question the strategy of our new owners? None of us know what went on with the recent appointments as they conducted themselves impeccably and professionally. We should all be eternally grateful that they came along when they did because make no mistake we we're up shit creek. We should all just look forward to an exciting time for AVFC. There is no merit in looking for any negatives right now. In my opinion.

No hesitation no weasel words no platitudes that’s Dean Smith.
A nice start. Good and steady and not overplaying the Villa fan bit, infact he seems to be downplaying it.What was very interesting was Purslow. I thought he came across as incredibly professional and measured.His comments on finances were particularly interesting, he obviously fully understand the implications of FFP as he was involved in the drafting of the rules, and it really sounds like the club have got a solid grasp of what we can and cant do, and we can still do some stuff.Its going to be a fascinating few months.
Didn't realise we had so many internationals if he was only coaching 13 players today!
