Mark Delaney

[Holy Trinity]

I'm gutted for Mark! Totally gutted.

One a few I would consider a club legend, perhaps not for his on field exploits but for everything he has done since he hung up his boots.

Was it Bocanegra that ended his playing career?

[eamonn]

It was Carlos B, yes.

[cdbearsfan]

Was it Bocanegra that ended his playing career?

No, he just ended his season. He played another 48 games for us after that.

I thought it was a Blackburn player who caused Delaney's career-ending injury but it seems his last game for Villa was in the FA Cup against Man City when Micah Richards got the last minute equaliser. He did however play for Wales afterwards. His last game was against Czech Republic in September 2006.

I wonder who his replacement will come from?

I note you didn't ask from where. There's a lot of fans not happy with this decision, myself included.

Totally agree, if they have sacked him it's a disgraceful decision.

Thanks Mark and good luck. I assume his replacement is on his way down the M6 from Merseyside.

Not sure why, they've been shite all season. Yes we have players out on loan. I imagine other teams do, too.

We've finished below West Brom having signed all their players.

Apparently Jedinak was going to be sacked but no one had the balls to tell him after he gave them one of his long stares

Jedinaks young kid played for one of the youngsters sides, at my sons club, met him briefly one Sunday morning when he was still in our first team. Really big unit close up, you wouldn’t mess. Seemed like a nice chap, came to watch his little kid play, but got surrounded by kids wanting photo’s, not a bother on him.

Met Mark Delaney as well a few years back when his daughter was in the same netball comp as my daughter. Got chatting to him briefly about the Villa, lovely bloke. Can’t say ive followed the youth football at villa close enough to have any inkling as to why he got the hook.

Delaney was instrumental in Cam's development from an early age.

Surely the definition of success is bringing players through, and we're doing fine on that score.

[dr.chekov]

Any news on who is going to replace him?

Maybe, perhaps they already have someone in mind who they think can do better.
