Google Bot 3,929 Posted July 29, 2022 Anyone know if Transfer Markt correct? https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/dean-smith/profil/trainer/15315/sort/punkteprospiel Says his contract expires end of this season (Jun 30th 2023). If so, it's not the commitment I originally thought. For some reason I had him down for 3 seasons here, and it's interesting when you consider that Farke was contracted until 2025 before being sacked. I'm guessing this will make him very hungry to succeed this season - a Webber masterstroke perhaps? ....Or maybe some feel it shows a lack of belief?

Edit: He was contracted until 2023 at Villa, I reckon they've just not updated their stats... Last time I use them for 'facts'! 🙂 Edited July 29, 2022 by Google Bot Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

komakino 282 Posted July 29, 2022 I thought he had a 2.5 year deal, therefore this season and next. However, I'm sure that contract will be 'reviewed' for better or worse depending what happens. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Google Bot 3,929 Posted July 29, 2022 I think Smith left Tilly hanging when he went in for a high five at the social club event. 🙂 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
