NoelVilla Posted May 30, 2018 Share Posted May 30, 2018 Paul Cook is an interesting suggestion but it's a big risk we shouldn't take. Peter Bosz is still unemployed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skills Posted May 31, 2018 Share Posted May 31, 2018 17 hours ago, Brentfordnylons said: I don’t think any championship side is looking to appoint Dean Smith as a manager as the owners would have an understanding of his input in Brentford’s set up.However they might be interested in recruiting his as a coach to work under a manager.He is our head coach with 2 others alongside and they do work as a democratic team.Interesting you mention subs there was an instance last season where after the game Dean was happy to admit he was about to sub a player but he stayed on and got the winner due to the other 2 coaches saying he should stay on.Some fans and most commentators tend to criticise our set up and owner and peddle miss information especially around the time Warburton left (he was never sacked )but most of our fans are more than happy with our set up that suits a club of our size that has now completed 4 years of top half finnishes in the championship. I agree there might not be many champ sides looking to appoint him, but there's definitely some fans that are pleading that way. I applaud the Brentford way and find it intriguing however I don't believe the strategy is for all clubs and Villa with its high expectations would not get away with it. My point on Dean Smith is that his next club wherever he ends up (if and once he moves on) would be taking a big risk, imho I don't think Villa are at that point to be taking such a risk although our hands may be forced due to FFP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doesn't matter anyway, I wasn't serious and we would never approach him and he would probably say No if we did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have to. Most important thing we do this summer is get a group of staff who play football. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, what we should do is stick with the failure that we already have and give him even less resources to work with. That should do it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
