Next manager?

[PeterWithesShin]

We don't play again for a week and half so it's not really valuable time. I'd prefer we do it properly rather than go down the shortlist of 1 route again.

Smith would hopefully go back In January to being in Mepham to solve our centre back issues too! 

Terry would only be number 2 for this season, he’ll get his badges sorted and step up somewhere else in the summer so can see the combo working.

If Smith comes in I think we also get a new player.
Mr.Hogan.

Not totally sure on that..I've a close friend whom is also friends with Smith's brother.Occasionally he'll play golf with both the Smith's.A few weeks after we signed Hogan, he asked Dean Smith directly what we were getting...His response was along the lines of Great Pro,Great Lad,Great Trainer,done very well for us etc......but essentially he was non-committal ability wise about Hogan.

Whereas he'd previously talked up some of the players they'd sold,and even complimentary about other players in the Championship...However he's definitely kept his finger on the happenings at B6 and his kids are all Villa etc.

All over Twitter now it's Smith and Terry. I'm happy with that.

Hope Smith gets his own men as well as Terry. Much as I think Terry can galvanise the dressing room I hope he does not undermine him.

[Phil from the upper holte]

Happy with that

[Walmley_Villa]

Yes.....a fucking coach with a philosophy! Gerrimin

[ChicagoLion]

I really hope this works.

I just hope that if this is the case that Smith is happy having Appleyard as his assistant rather than being told take it or leave it, Appleyard is your assistant.

[Chris_Jephcott]

I think this could work really well. Fingers crossed... and we go again!

I watched this video some time back and enjoyed it.  It was about the time I first began hoping for Bruce to be replaced and started looking at DS.  I recommend it to anyone as sad as me with 20 odd minutes to spare.

I find it highly unlikely that Smith would part company with his number two who followed him to Brentford from Walsall.

Get in......ooooh Deano!!!!
