Can we now change the thread title to :  Dean Smith - Clueless

Massive disappointment with his tactical incompetence, inability to react during games, ridiculous statements/ excuses following defeat after defeat, non- existent motivational skills.
He may be a "nice guy" but lets face it he has been out of his depth for most of the season.
Another thing that gets me about the club - we never seem to match the fitness levels of other teams - why is that?

You sound very convinced, Vinnie? Your usual..

Yep

Who would be your replacement Vinnie?  For Villa Manager that is, not your replacement on this site! (Perish the thought!!).

The owners need to explain why they didn't relieve Mr Smith of his duties in January or June.

If they dismiss him as our relegation is confirmed then that will be beyond a farce.

100%. Theres no logic to it at all.

I bet he’ll be here for game 1 in the Championship.

I’ll take that bet. He’s gone

If this proves to be true then the owners have big, big questions to answer. Mr Smith has been inept this season.

Why haven't they acted?

Their ineptitude is greater than his.

He was about to be sacked around Chelsea game. Then Covid happened and ruined that plan

My choice isn’t glamorous. Dyche. He would get us up and turn us back into an established prem side.

I can see why post Covid they gave him a chance. But game 2 or 3 in that should have been more than enough. I get faith and loyalty. But not to this extent

I will worry about a different manager and sexy football once we are established as a PL club. I’d happily take Dyche tomorrow

Dyche would be a good choice. He must know that Burnley are as good as they're going to get. I also believe that his family home is still in Northampton, so the daily commute is going to be more than halved.

I would snap your hand off for Dyche. If he got us up I would take 5 seasons of finishing between 15th-12th place. It would be preferable to the absolute muck of the past ten years.

The Dyche link has been around for a few months now. First I heard about it was from a Burnley supporting mate so guess the story broke up there rather than from Villa Park. If he is appointed it may help us keep Heaton.

I hope so. You don’t relegate Aston Villa and keep your job.

Not seeing your new players would have been a hard gig for a new manager maybe?
The chance that a ‘star’ player (S-ishJM) sorely missed would be back?

I just cannot get my head around billionaire owners sticking with him for so long when it’s obvious we are going down. How did they make their fortunes?

This. All day long. They should have sacked him, regardless. It wasn't working.
