downendcity Posted July 29, 2021 Report Share Posted July 29, 2021 Football Insider is reporting that Dean Smith wants KD as replacement for John Terry and has held talks with him However, Villa's chief exec is not convinced and thinks they need a higher profile appointment. The article mentions that KD is highly regarded in the football world. With Paul Simpson sidelined I'm guessing that losing KD would bea blow on the eve of a new season.

It seems that we have these ******* at every club these days. Does he know more about coaching than Dean Smith then? If it does happen then Curtis Fleming has landed right on his feet I would have thought? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Downing isn't his man after all. Perhaps if KD left he could keep Fleming on full time, someone he's obviously happy to work with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carey 6 Posted July 29, 2021 Report Share Posted July 29, 2021 Of course we don't get to see much of what goes on behind closed doors, but I can understand where those fans opinions have come from. @steveybadger You can only go off of what we get to see on the pitch, and I can't say many, if any outfield players have improved much in the past 12 months. All opinion though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My comment was aimed more at those we have seen at the level as to make it fair comparisons. Were you watching them often a year ago to know if they have or not? Bound to be some natural progression through playing with others from a higher standard though. Whats your thoughts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All opinion though! Yet many also think NP is the messiah; but he didn’t bring any improvements with the same players. Why should Downing and Simpson take all the blame?
