We dont have a highly paid Director of Football and a scouting network so Smith can take time off to go look at players. Its not the 1990s 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really don't see how he could keep his job for next season if we go down with a whimper. Would be different if we won 3 or 4 but Bournemouth and West Ham also did. Yeah but whilst we are actually 19th we are almost 17th. SMITH IN Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaChris Posted June 24, 2020 Share Posted June 24, 2020 Just now, DCJonah said: Do what you want. I just think its a shame, that as a fanbase, we couldn't change our mindset for one year. Keyboard warriors on a message board isn't the same as the ground though. Been little dissent against DS at Villa Park this season, was probably more during the bad run last year before things picked up. I fear it will turn early next season if he's still in a job, we have a bad start and decent sized crowd is let back in. All that six months pent up frustration is going to be unleashed on someone. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Go have a look at when we signed trez and engels. He said he went and saw trez and liked him. Then he said he tried to sign engels years ago. He also worked with konsa and said he knew about him having worked with him. So that old chestnut 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jim Posted June 24, 2020 Share Posted June 24, 2020 Huge missed opportunity against a very sub-par Newcastle. For the umpteenth week we are still in it thanks to the results of other teams. Smith out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What makes you say that? Just because some don’t agree with your views ? We think differently on Smith but I appreciate your position and passion in defending him.

Haha in which way can't I handle it? What a strange response. Shouldn't be surprised I guess.
