How does anyone actually know what he does well enough to make a defined judgement on him? For all we know he could have certain views that don’t align entirely with Dean Smith and in the end it’s the manager who makes the final call. We are putting entirely too much stock on him because of his name. I don’t get some of the vitriol towards him as a member of Aston Villa. He was superb as a player for us. He’s now a coach. He has never said one bad word about us. Always speaking highly of the club and fans even as a Chelsea player.
yes he was i saw all of his home appearances for us and even at 37 his performances were largely outstanding. He also brought leadership to the team .
At least we had someone who would let the ref know we have had enough of his poor decisions.
I don't know if he is any good as a coach but I can't recall a time that a coach at the club has been blamed more for the on pitch performances.Dean has 2 assistants Terry and O'Kelly the latter doesn't seem to attract any criticism of his coaching ability where as there is a perception from some if Terry left we would improve...
