Aston Villa hierarchy not happy with Dean Smith’s decision to loan out Conor Hourihane

Aston Villa Chiefs are thought to be unhappy with Dean Smith’s which decision to send Conor Hourihane out on loan to Swansea City during the January transfer window as per Football Insider.

Villa are currently struggling with creativity because of Jack Grealish’s injury and Hourihane could have been a useful option for them right now.

Apart from scoring goals, the 24-cap Republic of Ireland international is excellent with his set-piece delivery and he could have been a handy player for Villa. Perhaps keeping Hourihane for the remainder of the season as a squad option would have been a wise move.
