Let's be fair to Deano he brought Grealish game on heaps and bounds since he's been here . The high performance levels achieved by Jack are a result of Dean Smith as coach.
Smith and his way of coaching has undoubtedly really developed Grealish on field game.

The legend Deano said Jack would come to the party and score today !!
Absolutely superb how he's got him motivated in the run in final four matches.

I just watched his interview. Regardless of anything he is a class act.

Well done Dean Smith, got us up, took us to Wembley and kept us up, JOB DONE

We can all be proud to be villa.
Even more so today.

He truly is.

I have been critical of Dean at times this season but he has done the job and deserves another crack. I am thrilled to be eating humble pie because villa is the most important thing.

Superb form to end the season. Averaged a point per game since the re-start and 8 points in the final four games. Well done Dean, delighted for you!

Been disappointed with him at times this season but can't argue with him getting us up and keeping us up within 18 months.

Now the challenge is for him to kick on, tweak mid game as we probably won't have one fixed way of playing next season if Grealish goes.

That last line "that one's for the old man"

That last line "that one's for the old man"

yep, that was very touching and very telling. Through it all the club has stuck together. Even watching someone like Bjorn Engels in the celebration who has been out injured for a good while. We kept it together.

[Chris Smith]

On the BT interview when asked what he expected next for Jack he said” I expect him to get drunk with me tonight”.

[Steve67]

Humble pie and custard for me.  Fuck Poch, he's not a Villa fan.  As long as Dean has learnt from this season and we grow and develop, I'm really happy for him to take us forward and build for a better season next season and then build year on year. He is a class person and has achieved what I thought was impossible a few games ago.  Magic.

Good words from Dean.  It's obvious this season's taken a lot out of him but fair play to the bloke.

I'm sure in quiet reflection tonight he'll shed a tear or two. Whatever we think of his managerial ability that's a perfect tribute to his late Dad keeping us up against the odds.
