I'd love Dean Smith to be a success as our manager but I'd hate him to fail. There's no more decent man in football and it would be terrible to have his career ruined here.
I don't have any sympathy for him because he's quite simply conducted himself like an idiot, but if we want to get promoted at the first time of asking then Fat Sam is undoubtedly the best option available. His reputation has been tarnished and it will be a brave move for us to make the appointment for many reasons, but he's going to manage another club sooner rather than later, so resurrecting Villa from the Championship graveyard would suit both parties.With the players at his disposal he should be able to get us playing decent football, and more importantly get results by whatever means necessary...it won't be pretty at times, but he's no where near as bad as someone like Pulis.

Would have no problem with dean Smith ....firstly he is a Villa fan ....... doing an excellent job at Brentford following what he did at WalsallHe knows football at this level and appears to be able to change things round during a gameSend that Mondeo to Brentford
Bruce, Alladyce, Pulis ... not for me; I'm out.Seriously, I won't be going to watch a team managed by these guys, however experienced they are at getting teams out of the shit.
