I thought Villa were wrong to sack Dean Smith previously. Yes, he'd had a poor run of results but that can happen to most Premier League teams at any given time. Since arriving he'd kept them up against all odds, improved them considerably, and probably deserved more time.

Having made that decision, and having recruited Steven Gerrard from Rangers, you would hope they might give him more than 10 months before reaching a judgement, but it does appear the club (and their fans) are setting expectations more in keeping with the club Villa were 40 years ago than what they're entitled to expect now.
