Aaron Danks vowed to hold the fort at managerless Aston Villa “until told otherwise” after hailing his players’ response to a “rollercoaster few days.”
Local lad Danks enjoyed a dream debut as interim boss following Steven Gerrard’s sacking as Villa romped to a 4-0 demolition of Brentford.
The hunt for Gerrard’s successor is already under way and Danks, who has stepped up from his role as first-team coach, insists he will step up for as long as the club need him.
