Dean Smith - Confirmed

[West Derby Villan]

If your upset by the tiity-babbies comment  you're probably proving the point.

sorry that's utter nonsense. So we should go around calling people names when views differ from yours or others? It's no different to the happy clappers bollocks. Is Allan a Happy Clapper for saying everything was rosy as we posted relegation form for 4 months? No, he saw things more optimistically which is fine. It doesn't make the contrary observation wrong.

It hardly helps the quality of debate. He complains about standard of posting then calls every one that disagrees with him screeching Titty Babies.
I am going to throw my rattle out of the pram so there.

What point is that Lee?  That anybody who is crital of the team is a screeching titty-baby and everybody who isn't has a deep understanding of complex process of coaching and managing a PL team?

I wouldn't say the label applied to any of you three for what it's worth, and I don't think the original post was, but it certainly applies to some. Personally, I avoided the site at times after a bad result because of it.

I certainly do the same

It was definatley a bit toxic on here at times whenever we lost. Go back to when we lost to Stoke in the cup to see what I mean as an example.

I love titties. Big ones, small ones, round ones, square ones.

Yep, post match threads, the Smith thread and a selection of individual player threads are pointless for a day or 2 after a defeat, I think the shitty nicknames are the bit that bothers me most the AEG one in particular is pathetic (and fits well with the description of them being shitty).

I watched the Christian Purslow video on the OS. Unless I missed something there was no mention of Dean Smith (nor Terry) in a near quarter of an hour interview.

It made me feel uneasy for our Dean.

I didn't feel there was much pointing to that.

I was actually quite pleased to hear him say it was in a way disappointing given the way things had looked earlier in the season.

Suggests we're not going to just settle for 11th year in year out.

Good. He’s the CEO. He needs to state the business with a lack of sentimentality. I’m sure he likes Dean Smith and staff but he cannot develop a close personal relationship.

[Damo70]

I can well imagine that in a few years time, when Deano gets bored with winning everything, Mark Delaney will become manager.

John Terry may be ahead of him in the queue.

I think, with no evidence whatsoever, that Terry will be a better number two than boss.

For all we know Terry himself may feel he would be a better number two rather than a manager.

[OCD]

Except he's stated an ambition of managing Chelsea one day. Which you could say would be a reason against us appointing him, if there was any chance he would leave at the first opportunity if we were doing well and they started looking his way. All very mute of course atm.

That’s some very impressive use of the quote tool LeeB. I’d have bolloxed that right up.

I really enjoyed Purslow’s interview on Villa TV.  Very realistic and honest. Acknowledging a great start and a tail off being disappointing rather than telling us that everything is wonderful. The overall feeling that the the club is operating on an entirely different level to previously is brilliant. He oozes professionalism, as does the club now.

Agreed. There was something about him though, he seemed very driven, quite steely eyed. Yes, he was pleased enough as to where we’d finished, but not completely satisfied, especially with the second half of the season.

Between him and the owners, they won’t suffer fools gladly.
