I always get fearfull  when theses threads appear. Mainly that the owners will be daft enough  to take the suggestions seriously.

Gareth Southgate.

If we want a cure for insomnia then a good shout. Just bring your pjs slippers and pillows to villa park

And yet on another thread you’re calling for a big name? He’s the manager of the national side, how big a name is it you want?

Are you seriously calling gareth southgate a big name?

There is no question he is close to the sack. Who do you fancy? For me there is no british managers id take other than rodgers and we cant get him for obvious reasons. I mean i dont think potter is the answer either and i doubt he will come.

So that leaves looking at a international managed whoch i would be happy with.

You represent a vocal, poisonous minority, like the people getting headlines for saying covid’s a hoax. I’ll bet the Holte won’t want Smith out. It’s losing run of four, amid three years of remits being continually met. You continue to moan loudly, your right - the owners won’t be listening.

Poisonous? What are you waffling about? Four straight defeats, 7 conceded in the last two make it 10 in three. Losing a game in last 10 minutes before being 2 up?

Playing dreadful football. Making poor subs and playing players like young in a position that he doesnt play. Sticking with a system thats utterly failed (5 at the back)  players not playing for the manager showing little passion or heart.

Need i go on? You continue to bury your head in the sand and think eveything is ok because he a villa fan but dont you dare tell me and other fans we are being poisonous because we feel deans times up.

'Poisonous' is a bit strong, Richard.

All apologies.

I just think that the majority of fans don’t want Smith out yet and that the internet is such a potentially harmful tool to enforce knee -jerk decisions. So I’m suggesting that the positive vote for ‘Smith Out’ doesn’t really reflect Villa fans views.

I firmly believe the club is moving in the right direction and this is just a bad patch caused by Grealish leaving, injuries, a very poor start from Buendia, Mings’ loss of form and not having yet found the right formation post-Grealish. I think at this juncture it would be a terrible mistake to sack Smith - and yes, it does count that he’s a Villa fan and a good fit.

Again, though, I apologise if my choice of words was harsh. Sorry.

Why does it matter if Dean is or isn’t a Villa fan? I don’t understand, I couldn’t care who our manager supports or supported when he was young, I want the best manager we could have.

There were more West Ham fans left in the Witton at the final whistle today, by a factor of about 4-1. I reckon there were about 10K fans left in Villa Park at the end in total, and the ones who did stick it out let their feelings be known. Everybody sat around me was unanimous in their decision that it was time for Smith to go.

I was sat in the Holte. I sadly want Smith to go. He's not up to it.

It’s amazing isn’t it. “Everyone” sat around you. I expect the ones who are behind Smith probably keep their opinions to themselves.

I would like Hassenhutti from Southampton, who punch above their weight and have a recognisable system that could suit the squad.

Would not be surprised if we ended up with Nuno, who did
well at Wolves and would make us more solid.

Hassenhuttl would be one of my top choices.

Spot on. It should have absolutely no bearing on who we hire or who we fire.

They'd probably fucked off 15 minutes before the final whistle, like the other 30,000.
