Dean Smith - Confirmed

We have had some disastrous managers post Houllier but John Terry would be the worst by some distance.

On a par with Eric Black.

Or KMac.

I honestly think it's too late.  They'll give him the full season and after that who knows?  They'll at least be able to say they backed him, they spent a lot of money, gave him time, and then time to get us out of the mess, but it just didn't work out.

More like Tactics Tim.  Great in the London media, lazy and unmotivated everywhere else.

Purslow talked recently about a 200million disaster.  Yet they seem to be happy to go down?

Just watched the Villa View post-match thing. The chap on there (Dan?) seems to think that the summer signings are the problem, which seems reasonable. I've no idea how much he knows (it'll be more than me!), but he said Smith identified targets, which were inevitably too expensive (Phillips/Maupay, I'm guessing), and so was served Suso's cut price equivalents instead. Might be nonsense but it feels kind of true.

So why spend so much money on the only Brazilian striker that cannot play football?

No idea.

Joelinton says hello.

Admittedly that only makes 2.

Best ask Suso.

Not a striker, but there was that lad that Celtic signed in the 90s. Scheidt.

I wouldn’t write Wesley off yet. We’ve rushed to judgement on players far too often in the past.

I agree.
