I agree- think they screwed up sacking Dean Smith too early. He had a good thing going for them. Seems like they got a bit of an irrational hard-on for Gerrard, and that Gerrard himself may have been a bit overeager to manage in the prem, which doesn't seem like any long-term recipe for success to me. As for Villa, they've barely gotten back up and have no business sacking their managers on account of a poor early season start. Can't see it ending well, but don't really give AF since it's Villa...
