Not my no. 1, but a million miles from my last choice. I like the football he's produced at Brentford, he seems ambitious and ready to move on to the big time. Let's hope this is the start of something huge for him.

Good luck, Dean.
Forgetting win percentages, he finished 9th, 10th, 9th with Brentford. When you consider their size, income, stadium, fan base, budget and the fact they lose their best players every year, then that is overachieving. This whilst playing some of the best football in the league and playing us off the park nearly every time we've played them.
Dwight Yorke won't be very happy, I'd imagine!
The most interesting thing for me is that he's labelled as head coach like his previous role. Suggests they could be trying to go down the Brentford route of the club having a philosophy that the coach is asked to implement. Could also mean he wouldn't be too involved in transfers as well.
Dean Smith interview on captains and leadership.. quite ironic at :40.https://youtu.be/W0xEu4gt94QAnother thing..Dean started two 20 year old CBs away at Elland Road before the break. Maybe he can figure something out with our group, Axel/Chester?
