Good on him for taking the role, he’s not a huge profile so the longer he went without a job, the less his name would be linked. Wish him well (unless playing us) I would have thought so. Otherwise he could get sacked from Norwich after a year and end up getting paid 2 severance packages. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

est1874 Posted November 15, 2021 Share Posted November 15, 2021 All the very very best to Deano, he deserves good things. Except against us of course. But otherwise, generally. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevo985 Posted November 15, 2021 VT Supporter Share Posted November 15, 2021 All the best Dean. It's a fantastic appointment for Norwich, but a tough job for Dean. I hope he turns them around 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From what I understand sometimes managers get paid a lump sum (a pre-agreed percentage of the remaining value of the contract) and sometimes they just carry on getting paid as before, but obviously don’t do anything for it. To jump straight into another job, and Villa owners seeming like decent guysI suspect they’ve paid him a lump sum and he’s free to do what he likes. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we terminate his contact we have to pay the remaining balance. Whether that's up front or monthly don't know. But that I would have thought is the general principle. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villanmac Posted November 15, 2021 Share Posted November 15, 2021 Depends on whether you agree a pay off settlement or not. Di.Matteo for example was sacked by Chelsea and stayed on 130k a week for the remainder of his contract period because he didn't. My guess is Smith would have agreed a negotiated pay off because he intended to get back going in management asap 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Johnnyp Posted November 15, 2021 Share Posted November 15, 2021 All to best to him. When players, ex managers go elsewhere though all it does is copper fasten how much of a Villa fan i am as opposed to getting too hung up on a player or manager. All ready im of the mindset that i want us to smash Smith and Grealish respectively when we play them in the next few weeks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom13 Posted November 15, 2021 Share Posted November 15, 2021 Love to see him somehow keep them up. Also, taking Shakespeare with him again surely quashes all this rubbish that he was causing problems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Genie Posted November 15, 2021 Share Posted November 15, 2021 I assume he hasn’t gone there promising to keep them up. He’ll do his best but I think they are planning for next year in the Championship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rino8 Posted November 15, 2021 Visiting Supporter Share Posted November 15, 2021 Surprised he's jumped so quickly. I'm sure he could have got a better job if he waits around. Going to Norwich makes his first challenge getting promoted again next year instead of any objectives this season 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tommo_b Posted November 15, 2021 Share Posted November 15, 2021 Oooff this feels like when your ex girlfriend moves on with someone new and it feels like a kick in the balls, even though you know it was your decision to end it you didn’t expect them to move on so fast. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
