Kinda surprised he is still about, as one of Rounds' first jobs should have been to take stock of what we already had and identify problem areas. For this to escalate this far it should have been easy to spot.

He plummeted in my estimation that night at WHL.
Whatever the truth is out there it will cause the club massive damage with recruitment. Youngsters will be looking at alternative clubs and news travels fast. The best thing McDonald could do is resign and I hate people losing their jobs, but the future of the villa is at stake

No, the fact he sabotaged, in my opinion, Garde's start to his Villa career.yeah, I'm sure that was exactly what he had in mind.

What a strange retort!

Isn't this part of the broader issue of Villa being unprofessional, dysfunctional & out of date?
Aston Villa can confirm that Kevin MacDonald has left his position as Head of Football Development with immediate effect.Mr MacDonald had been reallocated to non-player facing duties pending completion of an independent investigation into allegations published in The Guardian newspaper in December 2018 about his past conduct. That investigation, carried out by barrister Jack Mitchell, has now concluded and the results delivered to the Board. As the report forms part of an employee disciplinary process, the Club is unable to provide details in public although copies of Mr Mitchell’s investigation have been provided to The FA, Premier League and statutory authorities.Mr Mitchell appealed for individuals to come forward to give evidence and we are especially grateful to those former players who assisted him in his investigation.Aston Villa wishes to apologise to all former players who were affected by behaviour which would not be tolerated by the Club today.Our approach to safeguarding is now unrecognisable from the past and has been described as excellent in recent EFL and Ofsted audits.The Club will now begin a search for his successor.
