Dean Smith - Confirmed

[Legion]

I have no idea why that link does not work. It is fine for me. Opens up a contact page.

I can't  open your link Lee.  What does it say?  "Hi Brian we really appreciate the three quarters of a century you have followed the Villa home and away.  Your views on how Villa fans should behave towards each other is very important to us."  No?  No surprise there then.

The way people behave on here is important to us. And it cuts both ways.

Ahem. Getting back to the thread, last game/chance for Deano today?

Caught between really wanting him to succeed and thus giving him time and needing our owners to show that they’re paying attention and take decisive action.

The Telegraph article says it all really.

Big team selection today for Dean.

[CJ]

If he starts with Wesley again today I'm done with Dean

You're done with Dean.

[CJ]

I am. Hope he proves me wrong

[Neil Hawkes]

I am. Hope he proves me wrong

I'm not for one minute saying he will become the top scorer in the league by the end of the season, nor am I entirely pleased with being this far into our new campaign with such a paucity of options, but 2 points:
1. Who is there to replace him? (Kodja is not that missing link)
2. How can he start scoring again, if he is not playing?

Agreed. Brian has a point though. People are very fond of you and Mac Dave, and extremely grateful for the site and the smooth running and time given by you. Don't ever let that cloud the fact that there can be and has been a bombastic approach by some mods and posters down the years but I guess that's life. Most on here aren't like you and I, and post under their own name, they use pseudonyms and they can take on whatever persona they like and no-one will know. People posting that they've felt victimised shouldn't lead to a post that says don't like it, then leave. Just my opinion.

That's him done with Dean.

The wider issue is none of my business, but I wanted to post my agreement about the importance of posting under one's own name and not using pseudonyms.

[Roysmert]

Name? "Ealing"
First Name? "Sexual"
Erm, if you insist go on then

His parents thought it would toughen him up. They were wrong.
