# Aston Villa: Fans react to Dean Smith update

**A source from [Football Insider](https://www.footballinsider247.com/sources-smith-fighting-for-his-job-at-aston-villa-as-manager-masterplan-revealed/) on Tuesday morning has claimed that Aston Villa manager Dean Smith is ‘fighting for his job’.**

And, as to be expected, the update from a Villa source has had plenty of supporters talking on social media.

According to the recent [report](https://www.footballinsider247.com/sources-smith-fighting-for-his-job-at-aston-villa-as-manager-masterplan-revealed/), Smith will come under increasing pressure if Villa’s results don’t improve prior to the next international break.

Villa currently sit [12th](https://www.premierleague.com/tables) in the Premier League after four rounds of fixtures with [four](https://www.premierleague.com/tables) points. They have just come off the back of a defeat to Chelsea and take on [Everton, Manchester United and Tottenham](https://www.premierleague.com/clubs/2/Aston-Villa/fixtures) before the next international break.

Should results not improve and Villa remain in their current position or below, the Villa hierarchy won’t hesitate in their search for a new manager.

**“We can’t get on his back with this hard run of games coming up. We’ve had a terrible pre season with games being cancelled, players getting injured and having to replace Grealish. We just need to settle”**

**“Lots of our recent problems are out of smith’s hands. Nevertheless, our owners are achievers. If we’re still at a point a game by Christmas, doubt he’ll keep his job.”**
