I think the club have already evidenced that they won't make a change for change sake.

I've said before that Dyche would be an upgrade on Smith but I'm getting the impression from some on here that to consider other candidates would be lunacy.  He's one among many we might consider.
More to the point why would Dyche consider us at this moment in time?

The top flight is where it's at for a club like villa. Relegation should always be unacceptable.

'Project' B.S. should set the alarm bells ringing. We are now facing another year, at least, in the wilderness because we didn't fix what clearly wasn't working when we lost 3-0 to Watford.

Utter shambles.

Do we break the Fat Yam-Yam out the glass  or just wait till the end of the season?

The job is killing him, he's gone from a progressive attacking manager too the reincarnation of Alex McLeish.

Too late to have any impact on relegation now, but he needs to go.

From talk the other day, it's suggested that Dyche's course is run at Burnley. But I think if we drop, there'll be other suitors in the PL more attractive than the poison chalice that is 21st century Aston Villa.

He’s going to go in the summer anyway. May as well act now and try and be a proactive club for once.

Like his forwards, seems to have lost all self belief and confidence. I really can't see us scoring again this season

Only thing I can say in his defence is it's not his fault so many players had a complete lack of pride or self respect in that second half. Not being good enough is one thing, not being bothered is something fucking else.
