Swindon The town supervisor Ian Holloway has hit out at Aston Villa‘s decision to allow Finley Munroe to leave for Middlesbrough.
The talented 20-year-old spent time on loan at Swindon, so is a player Holloway knows well and also one that he rates very highly.
Villa cancelled Munroe’s mortgage at Swindon as a way to then promote him to Middlesbrough, and it kind of feels Holloway isn’t satisfied about it.
One imagines the outspoken Swindon supervisor would have preferred to stay the younger left-back for slightly longer, whilst he additionally appears to be suggesting Villa will remorseful about their resolution to let him move.

Discussing the Munroe scenario, Holloway made it transparent that he thinks Villa made a horrible blunder, and that they must be ashamed for it.
Holloway stated: “We’ve just lost the quality he gave us down there. I can’t get someone from Middlesbrough, who has a four-year contract, who are paying him what they have decided to pay him.
“Well done to Middlesbrough for recognising it. Aston Villa, you should be ashamed of yourselves. You let go one of the best future left-backs I have ever seen in my lifetime, and I have seen a few. Some of them played in the Premier League with me and for me. I think they have made a terrible blunder.”
