Smith should have been binned after we lost 3-0 to ten man Watford. He’s way out of his depth.

Get Big Sam in to keep us up by hook or by crook.

Thankfully it's you posting that so I know it's a windup!

So disappointing, I thought we had finally somebody that deserved the title, Coach. Nice chap that he is, Villa fan too but sorry, he's way, way out of his depth. Obviously it doesn't help having a squad around you that would be more at home in the Championship. And yes, I see the irony.

We don't have the personnel for an Allardyce. No bruiser type up front and, I'm guessing, Kevin Nolan has probably retired.

Much has been made about Dean Smith being one of our own and I firmly believe that he is.  As such, for the sake of the club and the position it finds itself in, he should do the honourable thing and resign with immediate effect.  As so many have said, he is so far out of his depth that he is drowning.  I'm sad to have had to write that.

I’d sack him tonight, fuck next weekend, with Smith in charge we’re getting annihilated, he’s clueless, running on empty, zero ideas, full of shit, just fuck him off.

Hear hear. Some clear thinking.

Honestly Demitri, I'd go and try something else.  You're getting close to responding to yourself on this thread you're posting so much.

It's just not worth getting that worked up about.  We've been relegated before, with a much worse squad, a worse manager, a worse owner, and it really wasn't that bad.

If you're not getting any enjoyment out of following the Villa (and there's no evidence on here to suggest you are) then you're better off trying something else with your time.

So im not allowed to be upset with team that i have supported for over 30 years when they eprform like that?

Its not just me posting so why you singling me out? Im sorry im not having a go at you mate. This situation we find ourself is hurting

You talk about relegatikn but this team has such huge potential with jack mcginn and mings. If we go down it could destroy our club

Yep.  He should have been sacked then, and the fact that he wasn't shows that Purslow isn't up to the job either.  The signings have all been awful, the football is shit, and the results disastrous.  Pathetic all round.

He needs a miracle such as winning the Cup next Sunday to get most of his critics back on side. He is the opposite of the dynamic, savvy, progressive coach we thought we were getting. Stubborn, myopic, turgid. Crap, essentially.

Maybe so, but I think his critics are a tiny minority at the moment.

but vocal and persistent.

Come on then paul tell us why he should stay ??

because it's a week before a cup final and the only managers we could get in the meantime are the sort of shit I want nothing to do with. You're still missing the point though, I wasn't defending Smith, I was telling you to give it a fucking rest.

Clueless tactically just stand on side of the pitch barking orders which have no effect on the game.

All I could hear today was him repeatedly  screaming "what the fuck is going on?". Truly inspirational. Mind you most supporters are wondering exactly that.

Did a cracking job last year but it’s come to an end hasn’t it?

If you're not getting any enjoyment out of following the Villa (and there's no evidence on here to suggest you are) then you're better off trying something else with your time.
given our situation we could end up getting a further points reduction.  I'm really not Rosey about going down as romantic as it was last season.

We won't.  If we go down, Grealish will go and give us a huge profit to book in the FFP calcs.  The fact we've spent a year in the Prem will increase the level of FFP losses we're allowed, and we'll get another (up to) three years of parachute payments.

The rest of the squad should remain - Mings and SJM are the only ones likely to be tempted to leave but McGinn's injury might dampen some of the demand and I genuinely believe Mings has a real affinity for the club so will give us the season to get promoted again.

The new owners seem to be in it for the long haul, going about building the club in the right way, from the youth team, to Bodymoor, and creating an identity which we haven't had for years.  Smith is clearly core to that so he's going nowhere.

I like him, I can't get personal or angry at him in the way one should with the Sherwoods of the world, but he is so clearly out of his depth.

Give what a rest ? You going to tell everyone else who is calling for smith out to give it a rwst or just me ?

Of course you won't just pick on Demitri.  This is a public forum where i am allowed to express my opinion if you hadn't realised.

As for your point id rather lose next week and stay up. Of that msans binning smith i am all for it. It is a shame but he clearly is out of his depth.

There is no passion fight urgency and defensively a complete and utter shit show.

I wish him all the best and thank him for wveything but he is taking us down if we stick with him.
