    Just paper talk mate, why would LJ give up a benevolent boss like Steve Lansdown?

    They must be bonkers, they’ll go for someone with more experience but on the other hand why Villa would get rid of Dean Smith is crazy, he’d be a good choice replacement for LJ though

    Dean Smith would be a decent shout. Whether he'd want to come here if the opportunity ever arose might be doubtful after managing in the Prem

    Not as far as I can see. And Villa got a point at Newcastle last night so he isn't likely to lose his job anytime soon.

    Didn't Dean Smith manage Walsall when Cotterill's city team demolished them on a regular basis?

    I'm not sure about him and whether he just got lucky joining Brentford. Anyone can look good with the quality recruitement team they've had there recently.

    To be fair Walsall are a pretty small club compared to us.

    I saw this ridiculous rumour on OTIB.

    Absolute tripe, never in a million years will LJ ever get a better/secure/bombproof job than he has at Ashton Gate.
    It's beyond credulity that a club in the Prem would entertain employing LJ.
    Lazy and bone idle journalism.

    Surely it would depend on who would replace him here?
    With Warnock gone from your love-list that only leaves a Pearson - or would you have Cotts back?
    Top half championship football isn’t something to gamble away on an unknown for me.
    It may be for some though......

    I agree with this btw - but stand by my earlier posts. It depends who replaces him IF he was to go (unlikely).

    'depends' /'IF' /'unlikely'.
    You go round in circles.

    It's disappointing you think there is nobody out there who couldn't do a better job.
