I'm with you algy
I think there’s a lot more to be worried about at the moment, but when it’s all calmed down I don’t want him starting next season as manager. He’s not of the standard required.

Take a failing team and get them up, only to fall short of expectations? Losing a LC final albeit against far superior opponents? I’ll stand corrected if I’m wrong, no problem with that whatsoever.Crowe finished 3rd in his 1st season after promotion (dont think smith will).. when villa got to LC final in 1971 we beat teams who put out their best sides ie Burnley (who were one season off promotion back to div 1)) man utd (3 years off Euro cup win) not wolves and liverpool schoolboys..so i dont think the comparison is fair

This could easily see the football landscape change dramatically - and if ultimately it results in considerably less money going to the PL I'm all for it.
