Smith took over Villa in October 2018 and got them promoted in May 2019

So he had the January transfer window i which he got in Hause, Mings amd Tom Carroll on loan and spent £10m ish on the pair of Kalinic and Guillbert.

So, seems like that comment on radio was a load of bollocks that you could easily have checked for the smell test yourself. "Eventually got them out of them Championship" that should have been a quick clue given he did it at the first attempt.

He spent a s**tload to keep them up though... but Villa seem to have had a "money no object" attitude to that and recruitment was led by Webbers hero wasn't it?
