I think the problem was with RDM not Stan's commitment or fitness!
Because other clubs have been queueing up to give him a chance?
Well said.
Petrov’s illness was a personal tragedy, his recovery with his life, good news.
The fans, game, media and club, rallied around commendably.
But he is a professional sportsman. A hired hand. Someone who earned well out of the game. One of the reasons they are paid so well is that time is short for most pro -footballers, it’s part of the deal.
I was never a fan of him as a player, a fine man though. If you look at my historic posts, I described him as vastly over rated, and lucky to have played in a team that enabled him to play in it.
The Midlands conurbation is awash with clubs at every level of the football pyramid. That no-one from PL West Brom, to non league Stourbridge, has felt the need to secure his services is the story, not that Villa have not employed him.
Obviously, I wish him well personally.
