Really goes to show how little the media knew about this. Even the local rags. We've gone about this perfectly, quietly behind the scenes. And it's entirely possible that Henry opted for Monaco having been told Smith would be manager and not him. It didn't have to be that Smith was second choice to Henry or Faria for that matter.

Awesome news. No way Smith would have taken it on if he didn't think he could work with Terry. And Pitarch is the icing on the cake. Congrats to the new owners and best possible wishes to the new staff. UTV

Quite intrigued by this - would probably have preferred a Nuno type appointment but of all the British names mentioned Smith is the best option and seems more in the mould of an Eddie Howe style than the usual British suspects.

"And Jesus also brings a huge amount of experience in his particular role having worked with some of the biggest clubs in Europe. He will ensure the club has an integrated approach running from the academy through the U23s and into the first-team.”

What does that mean? Integrated? Is it witchcraft?

Happy with that. Also very happy to see sky sports news look like fucking idiots. Was watching it at around seven today and the line was "we understand that there's been no contact".

Blimey, they did well to keep that quiet, I'm stunned. Welcome Dean and welcome back JT.

At last an inspiring set of appointments. Now is the time for patients cos this team will deliver when they’ve repaired the damage caused by the previous manager. I feel so upbeat right now

10 weeks ago we were thinking we could go under and the prospect of watching Bruceball for many years to come.
Now we have the third wealthiest owners in English football, Dean Smith as Head Coach with John Terry assistant and a new DOF.

Lets F*****g have it!!

Cannot wait for the game against Swansea. There's plenty of time to rescue this season and play some lovely football doing it. This will be a huge boost for all of the players we have who love to get forward and score.
