It's just an online "service" which operates on the basis of clicks for trolling. I believe it is a "sister" paper of the Liverpool Echo ( Mirror Group) which is equally as poor - in paper or on -line formats.As you rightly state it's all click bait nonsense Having said that, despite living on Merseyside since 1995 I get my "fill" of Brum related " news" via the Meaning Evil site

I can understand people still fully backing DS, but i'll never understand saying keep him regardless and I certainly hope the club don't have that mentality.

Does anybody think Grealish will go at the end of the season regardless of which division we’re in?
The River Plate manager was talked up before the Libertadores final whilst at the same time implying he was ready to leave and look for a challenge in Europe. He has any impressive CV but we’d have very little PL experience within the club.

I dont want any flops like hughes, pardew, or even worse candleface.Someone like jardim or villas-boas would be good.

If you've paid attention to any of Purslow's interviews, you'd know that we've begun a long-term project, with Smith at the heart of it. We need some key additions in January and a plan B, not another several years of managerial roundabout.AgreedI bought into the long term project idea because I was fed up of Aston Villa being on the bloody managerial merry go round for years on end.Haven’t you seen that there is no plan B?Haven’t you seen there is no reaction to events in the pitch?Haven’t you seen our key player played out of position to the point of it frustrating him?If you are looking forward to relegation with Smith in charge, then you are looking forward to relegation with our best midfielders in a long time leaving us.Precisely, all of the same problems existed in the championship. This isn’t a new set of issues, they’re the same issues that were repeated week in, week out last season before he had a player who was way too good for the division come back and save him. If he had made tactical alterations or changes when we needed him to before Derby at home fair enough, but he did nothing. Just having Grealish available from then on masked all of Smiths weaknesses and he got out of jail. Smith gets a huge amount of credit when he actually didn’t really do very much. If Grealish had been out for the rest of last season, the dross that was served up from Leeds at home onwards would have carried on until the end of the season because there was no evidence of whatsoever of Smith having any idea of what to do. Basically exactly the same as what is happening now.It’s worth giving a manager time if you’ve got the right one. Dean Smith most definitely is not the right one
