Supposes he does come.
And how long would expect him to stay if he did manage to work his Southampton type magic and some early spurs form and get us competing beyond expectations .

Some other club will come in.
And he would just go and not hang around.
Whereas Dean wouldn't walk out on us
I would be delighted if he Poch, moved us to a position where we are competing at such a level that clubs covet our manager.

Footy, would you mind doing the majority of us a favour, please?

Give one of the mods a nudge and see if they'll allow you to make a thread of your own, that only you can post in, and the only place that you can post in. That way, I can be sure that I avoid and don't see your utter shite in and amongst the threads that I like to read through.

Thanks in advance.

Up the Villa.
Dean Smith always comes across very well, and he clearly works hard to maintain his knowledge and skills.
His biggest challenge is time: he does not have the time to rely entirely on his preferred modus operandi. He says - on this podcast - that he prefers players to evolve and find their own way of developing themselves, guided by him: we'll go down if he doesn't take a more hands-on approach. Evolved development is for the time when we've established our Premier league status.

Thanks for sharing - really interesting.

I wish that we had binned Smith off when we had chance before this lockdown issue. It is probably too late now and we will have to see if he can get a tune out of his squad to save us. We can't possibly be any worse than we were before lockdown, as we were nailed on for relegation before Corona Virus saved us.

Smith is likeable but I would have zero confidence in him getting us back up is a team sans Grealish, and not much confidence in us improving if we stay up. He has had us playing awful football and some of the most gutless team performances I have ever witnessed. He has spent a lot of money on a squad that lacks any balance and blew a fortune on a truly terrible centre forward.

If we could attract pochettino then we should do so without hesitation.

Let's be fair to Deano he brought Grealish game on heaps and bounds since he's been here . The high performance levels achieved by Jack are a result of Dean Smith as coach.
Smith and his way of coaching has undoubtedly really developed Grealish on field game.

It really hasn't.  Grealish was this good under Sherwood. Grealish is quality, with or without Dean Smith.  If Dean is that great, why are we a one man team?

Dean Smith made Grealish captain.
He saw something .

And for me Smith is far superior to people like this Cummings chap in integrity and good thinking  . Wish he was advising the government !

We all "saw something" in Jack Grealish long before Smith rocked up.  Legion was the first poster to flag up Jack's ability six years ago on this forum.

He saw something??? Wasn't difficult, all Smith has done has made him captain, which should be Mings IMO.

I’ve been very disappointed with Tyrone, but that can be said for the rest of the team TBF.
