Dont get me wrong, I understand the relief at staying up (by the skin of their teeth), but Smith called it a magnificent achievement and seems to have been celebrating for days.
If I was the owner, having spent £150m on transfers this season, I'd be a little concerned about Smith's view on what constitutes a magnificent achievement.

Probably - teams that survive on the last day generally go down without a whimper the following season. I dont give much for Steve Bruce's chances either. |  |

I wouldn't be surprised to see him go in the next week to be honest, "Dean has done a fantastic job but we feel we need to make this change now to take Villa forward to the next level" etc. etc. |  | | |

That money was spent on about 13 players though. That much was spent by Chelsea on two players to ensure they would survive during a transfer embargo. |  |

£150m is £150m.
Its still a big investment, and will have been made with more ambition than scraping 17th place. | |

Roy Hodgson first to be sacked. |
And replaced him with Richard Madeley? |  |

Not sure how they did it either. I feel like they only scored a handful of goals since January.
Atrocious decisions such as the Sheffield United and Palace disallowed goals certainly helped though. |  |

My money is on Bruce, if the take over ever happens at St James' Park. Even if Smith gets the boot at Villa, he's still done a good job there and his stock would still be high. | |

That’s where my money would be given the way they’ve finished the season. |  |
