Absolutely delighted with this. Positive news for once. Let’s all come together and get behind them all and get that promotion. Still plenty of time. Hogan will be chuffed too.

Hoping this is inspired and there won't be any new manager threads for decades to come!

Welcome, Dean.

So he's not Manager?  This means that Pitarch will do some of the recruiting and act like a DoF?  Head Coach and Assistant sound to me like they will be out there on the training pitches, which is good.  I'd like to know more about the set up and look forward to the presser.

I think this is a far smarter move than an inexperienced glamour name. Knows the league, knows our squad, knows our strengths and weaknesses.

Happy with this but hope Smith wanted Terry rather than him being foisted upon him.

Sorry to post this again, but the below suggests he was selected as Brentford's Head Coach because he is good at implementing other people's vision rather than having big ideas/ego himself.  Therefore I'd guess he is flexible enough to accommodate Terry.

If Smith has the same impact as Hogan the feeling will be mutual.

Shocked in a good way. Expected it to drag on for another fortnight and end up with Moyes.

It has a very different felling compared to previous appointments and set ups to it with these three coming in...well done Board and all involved.

JT coming home as well....

Eugh.


? Odd reaction....you obviously missed JT's influence on the club last season, especially the defence and Jack...

He played 32 games for us in his 20 year career, and didn't move to the area in that time. He's hardly coming home.

Anyway, that's all I'll say because this all sounds like good news to me (apart from the Terry bit).

Great news can't remember the last time I was so excited about a Villa appointment, well done Nassef and Wes.

Villa finally arrive in the 21st century. I'm very pleased.

Patience and backing required.
