I’m shocked to realise I’ve seen Villa play under 23 of those. That’s a ridiculous number (I’m not that old), shows what a see-saw club we’ve been in my time.

Post by: Damo70 on October 11, 2018, 07:48:17 AM: I was delighted to wake up to this news. Dean Smith was definately in my top three of managers I wanted and I also wanted Terry involved. Along with Pitarch there is clearly a well thought out plan/structure here. I would think that Smith and Terry will bring a lot of passion and desire and any player not matching that will unlikely to be involved for long. A proven Championship manager who as a bonus is one of our own and a young assistant with a hell of a playing CV who already has the respect of the dressing room.

Any news on Kevin MacDonald? If he is free I would be prepared to give him a few quid to clear out my loft and shed.

Was the question that needed begging.
