You mean like Roberto Mancini and Pellegrini were for us?You can’t have it both ways. Villa cannot be a club waiting to dominate domestic football and rate Dean Smith at the same time. Which is it?
Villa are building for a bright future and Dean Smith is a stepping stone, or it’s all bluster and Dean is the zenith of our ambitions?
And who knows , maybe even Pep is a stepping stone.
Dean Smith has done well, he looked out of his depth the first season after promotion, but has since shown he has something.
Not the greatest but still a very decent manager doing a very decent job.
