Dean Smith could at least get Aston Villa playing entertaining football, but I wonder if he'll do a good enough job to get them promoted.

My prediction is he'll be sacked at the end of the season after Aston Villa fail to get promoted. If he gets them to the play-offs and that's how he fails, then I would expect him to stay.

But yeah, the space of time in which so many managers were linked with the job, was pretty odd. Maybe the news that outlets were reporting was fabricated or was just old news.

He'll get longer than that, Steve Bruce came in at a similar time and didn't get play offs and wasn't sacked nor came close and got no stick, despite being a former bluenose (not that that should come into it, which it never did, villa fans fully got behind bruce)

Dean Smith is a Villa fan and grew up cleaning the holte end as his dad was a steward, his family are all claret and blue too.
Shaw, Williams, prepared to venture down the left. There’s a good ball in for Tony Morley. Oh, it must be... It is... Peter Withe !

Also, I do believe we're only 4 points of play offs, so realistically he should be getting that, the attacking players he has at his disposal, should he get us playing the type of football he had Brentford playing, we'll be scoring for fun

It's just the defence that needs sorting, hopefully thats where Terry comes into it

Thought he was always considered to be the assistant manager working alongside whoever you decided to appoint as head coach.

He was linked as Henrys assistant then Harry Redknapp was talking on TalkSport about how he spoke to him at a legends event the night before and that he hinted that he only wants the job as 1st choice which ended up leading him to become the favourite with bookies


All in all, the odds, the favourites, the rumours etc. showed that SkySports never really had a clue what was going on

Yeah, with their team, play-offs is a minimum I would say.

Bobby Charlton's birthday today. Still my favourite English player of all time. I doubt any will come close to him, in my eyes.

As much as I liked Thierry Henry as a player, I'm not sure how good he will be as a manager. Hoping he does well, but also sceptical.

Also, Georgios Samaras retired. Always liked him for some reason. He was so inconsistent but when playing, you could see that he really cared.

A decent display from United today, I really thought they deserved a win.

Still trying to find out what was said to Mourinho at the end to prompt his outburst :P

If only they could raise their consistency instead of only playing decent after first going behind and being forced to attack.

Defence too is really lacking this year with only Cardiff, Fulham, Huddersfield and Burnley having conceided more goals than United thus far.

Another big test coming up on tuesday when Juventus (who failed to beat Genoa today) travels to Manchester for their champions league clash ...
