I’m not sure I can cope with our fans calling John Terry- JT. For some reason it makes my skin crawl and it reminds me of 40 year old mockney blokes, who should support Peterborough or Luton, ringing into Talksport to talk about ‘Lamps and co’.

What do you call Mateus Cardoso Lemos Martins then?

As far as I'm concerned it's Deano, Shakey and JT, no two ways about it

Kasper approves 👀

I’m almost 100% sure he’ll be back here next season if we stay up. That interview about the grass not being greener was a dead giveaway.

Early days but I’m loving the enthusiasm around the place again.

This is it isn’t it. We didn’t see photo opps of Brendan smiling too much toward the end, and it really underlines in my mind how much he didn’t want to be here since about a year ago. It puts all those snide comments into light.

I share the same sentiment. He made it clear that he did not have the intention to leave the club, and it appears that circumstances may have forced him out or pressured him to leave, albeit not stated explicitly.

Wonder how well he's getting on with the Nice owner 🤔 

If anything, Top's problem has been that he's been TOO Nice. Probably why Kasper left. :ph34r:

Would love it but also worry how it'll work out second time around. Plus Iversen is finally getting a chance and showing he's pretty good (not without flaws)

A manager that smiles. Blimey.  Been so used to the sour face cretin I just presumed you had to trounce around Seagrave like it was a graveyard. Nice seeing some positivity for a change. 

If it's positivity you're after then you're in the wrong place m8.

Hi Villa fan here. Just been reading this thread, mainly because I am happy to see Deano back, but also I like my Midlands football. Thought I could add at least something that someone hadn't said before also. That is that I recall that during his reign at Villa, the leicester squads and villa squads were quite tight as friends. There was a lot of socialising. I assume through the grealish maddison connection. Although maybe Albrighton too. Anyway I don't think it too far a stretch that he and some your squad will have some kinda acquantaince a bit beyond matchday. Im sure he werent hitting the town on the grealish train with em, but I am sure that some of your squad would have heard only positive things about him. Grealish used to love him, so i reckon Maddison will only have heard positive thing about him (someone did say that perhaps Maddison had had a word). In short I would be surprised if the players weren't a bit excited about this appointment. 

 

Anyway, other than that, I echo what other people have said. He is a good human and better manager than he gets credit for. He was unlucky to be sacked and whilst it had to happen, no-one wanted it to see happen. He is a builder and maybe not suited to an end of season rescue job, I see that. But when he joined us were in a firefight to get promotion. It was an absolute last chance saloon and we didn't have many games to play with, and he turned things around quickly. And impressively. See below videos.

There was NOTHING to suggest that was possible before he joined. I hope that he can do that with you. I guess the counterpoint is that it was based around getting the best of Grealish. Not everyone has a Grealish. But Maddison is good in his own way so maybe that could be the thing?

 

The other thing is that as a fan base we were LIVID when JT joined. I wasn't livid cuz i toke, but I was disappointed. However, he was EXACTLY what we needed. And to be honest, these days I look on him fondly. There is a JT that is unlikeable but we never saw that. We just saw a guy come in, be a LEADER, work wonders with Mings, and the entire defence. Add a bit of spine to the club (the whole club), bring so much mentality and passion, and basically was an old version of what chelsea fans love about him. Basically, so long as my girlfriend isn't in the room too, there ain't no-one I'd rather be stuck in an escape room with. Also he ain't no chancer like gerrard or lampard (I do like lampard as a person). He ain't in coaching for himself or his ego. He is in it because - I suspect - he ****ing loves winning football matches. That's why I don't think we will ever see him as a manager.

 

Things aren't always gunna work the same, life don't work like that. But for me thats why I reckon it should be seen as a positive appointment. That it isn't definite I guess is why we all love and hate football. 

 

GOOD LUCK AND HOPE TO SEE YOU AND DEANO AT VILLA PARK NEXT SEASON.
