But loyalty and sentimentality isn't really something that works in sport is it?
If we'd got a top manager to bring in Jan 1st, I'd have thought it totally reasonable. Now, it isn't, as we are nearly done for the window. I have also said that those above Dean need looking at if he is at fault, so are they (not the owners!)
Hope he keeps us up, once done, sorry, I'd be looking for a top pedigree manager OR we all accept that we are a formerly big club, now an also ran - like so many before us (and how we have been acting for years)
Loyalty is gone in the game and I agree, once the season is over and if we stay up, I think we should say goodbye and thank you Dean and look for a top manager who will attract top players.
I think he did great in getting us promoted albeit that it's probably affected us for the worse as we are a year ahead of schedule.
I also think, as many others have said, that he's had a relatively free-ride thus far because of who he is and that he's a dyed in the wool Villa fan.
If it was anyone else, I think they'd have been hounded out by now.
Imagine if we got someone in like Poch - the type of players who would want to come and work with him would increase rather than players wanting to come to us just because we're in the Prem.
I only want the best for my team. If that means Pol Pot is managing us then so be it.
Same goes for any position. Put Reina in on Sunday. I don't want someone in just because they've had one or two good games out of 20 and we think we should reward him for that.
Aim for the moon and if you miss you get the stars.
