I hear you. The Smith-Grealish thing was special. The guys who battled for us in the Championship I think are held in higher esteem than a lot of ex players from seasons past in the Prem. Chester and Hourihane and Kodjia and Uncle Albert and so many more. A great connection. But this is the nature of the beast. We have to progress otherwise we stagnate again. And part of achieving bigger things is becoming more ruthless. Be glad we had that little era to begin with. Amazing, isn't it? One of the most interesting, fun and rewarding periods of following Villa (27 years here) was the period after we got relegated.
