Dean Smith - Confirmed

[Steve67]

Seems to be on Twitter that he’s on verge of going. But I don’t trust twitter.  Will probably limp on til end of season as I reckon it’s too late now anyway.

It is too late, we should have been brave during the months of the lock down and made a change. It was blind faith to stick with him, we've been getting progressively more shambolic as the season has gone on.

No, it is not too late.  Not with 6 games to go.  What we need is someone to get more out of this shower of shit.  Even if it is for the last 6 games only and we already have a plan in place for next season.  Dean Smith IS the problem though.  He is running on empty, cannot get a tune out of these players and every other cliche available.

I see my list of utterly irredeemable twats has grown to ten billion and one.

That’s more than the entire population of the world, Monty.

Of course its not too late. Smith is out of his depth in the PL, and after so many terrible signings last summer the only chance we have is to sack him and see if Terry can motivate a few performances out of the players.

Yes but you also have to factor in the dead.

[Jon Crofts]

If you want to believe G.Evans, he says Dean Smith is safe...

The same Greg Evans who say's 'Dean Smith has a knack of pulling off results'?

Just reporting what I saw Crofts.

Evans is a tool.

Calm down dear. Enjoy the curry and beer.

That’s more than the entire population of the world, Monty.

but still not as many as Leeds would have taken to their last away game if it wasn't for Covid

In the cold light of day 2 points from 24 in the last 8 games is pathetic.

We haven’t won a game of any kind since 28th January, although I do appreciate you have to disregard 100 days of that.

[Flin5tone]

Left it far too late to sack him but needs to be done.

A big NO to Terry being the manager too, blokes useles

[Steve67]

Can we get real. Aston Villa shouldn't sack Dean Smith because his father passed away due to Covid?  Whilst I have the utmost sympathy for anyone who has lost someone due to this virus, Dean losing his dad is a family matter, and nothing whatsoever to do with football and his performance this season.  Like others have said, Dean was apparently clinging to the job before the break. He has not improved us one iota since the break, despite having the unprecedented space to work individually with the players in that break. Sentiment should not come into it and I seriously doubt if one single newspaper will call us heartless for sacking him. Apart from the Birmingham Evening Mail, which is just a ******.

They’re considering sacking him apparently.

[brian green]

Says who?

[cdbearsfan]

Kippaxvilla2, I believe.

Says who?

Twitter and The Football Insider, according to Newsnow.  Both highly reputable sources (titter).
