A great interview with Dean Smith…
New Aston Villa head coach Dean Smith was paraded in front of the media yesterday following his appointment at the club and as you can imagine the new gaffer covered a variety of topics.
Obviously, the lack of balance in the squad with our threadbare defence came up in the questioning but he was saying the right things and he was confident that not only could we cope with that moving forward, he also didn’t feel it would hamper his attempts at getting greater ‘intensity’ out of the players as he looks to stamp more of an attacking style on them.

It’s been a long time since I’ve been buzzing for a game. I go, I think I always will. I tell myself ‘it is what I do’ during the most dour of times, or when I am at my most unwell. But I do often question my sanity when doing ‘what I do’ attending such awful, boring matches.
I liked Bruce, but it was just too dull. After years of dullsville from the likes of Lambert, I have just grown bored of being bored.
It is definitely in the blood this old football thing, like a bug! I can’t not go, quite often I can’t stand going, but next match, I’m there again – so are many of you.

From one of the people who helped shape the FFP rules… we look to be navigating them apparently!
“I’m not just confident, I’m highly respectful. We’re highly respectful of them and of course are navigating within those rules. It changes nothing – we are determined to back our new management team in improving this squad.”

Dean Smith has said he has no time to be emotional.
I think maybe he can leave that to the sell out crowd at Villa Park then?
I’ll be emotional (well, ish, I’m not a big one for emotions) to see the stay away fans back and hopefully a united dressing room and united terraces.
Not Emotional. Pull The Other One!

I thought for 41k yesterday, the noise level was really low. Not helped by literally thousands of empty seats from 3.30pm onwards in the first half. I think the club have got to make the customer experience better, to avoid people missing large parts of the game getting food etc
