We've sleep walked into relegation with barely a whimper. Six more games with this "why bother" attitude would show that the new football board hasn't learned a thing.

Re: AVFC Players senior through to U21s and beyond
Ignore the talk about the players and management trying to win the fans back. We're well past that and seeing Adama Traore run down a few blind alleys isn't going to change people's minds about renewing or suddenly keeping us up. The last manager blew that apart with his persistence with the current parasites. It's going to be a long way back from where we are now and it will all ultimately hinge on the next manager and the approach taken in the summer. I don't think Eric Black is brave enough to send players and fans the message that is required. That would involve replacing every non-performer, every piss taker and every poor professional with a kid or a reserve. Instead, the approach is laughably about these failures winning us back over!

I can see the common sense in your post though, especially about those lazy players facing the consequences of their own shocking performances on the day we get relegated.

It would be. It would also require two minor miracles. One, him playing a few different players. Two, us somehow winning a game with our chronic lack of confidence. Maybe I'm being unfair on Eric Black and it would be lovely to see. But I fully expect to see the same kind of stale and stagnant lineup we've seen all season. How long have we been going on that the manager should play more exciting players, young players or whatever? All season and Sherwood, MacDonald, Garde and Black have always disappointed. This game is probably the one time I won't be disappointed to see that happen as I can predict the outcome and the atmosphere. We saw against Chelsea that when the ire was directed at the players it was guys like Lyden (a young player we'd like to see come in) and Hutton (one of the few players who always puts in 100%) that it got to and who started overdoing things.

Truthfully, were it not for the distance (and related cost) and prior plans I'd be making the trip myself.

Gabby has been "sanctioned' because he is not fit enough to play Premier football. Black said "if they don't want to train properly, be part of the group or be ready to perform that's the only sanction I've got."
No it isn't Eric, Villa are within their rights to terminate his contract, if what you've said is factual. I'd love to see Villa grow a pair and show these posturing players who's boss.

Re: AVFC Players senior through to U21s and beyond
If we were to sack a player, it would have to come from board level possibly after deep discussions with the interim manager. I think it is very difficult to sack a football player these days sadly. The only ones I can remember have involved players who have broken the law. Doing a shit job and not being of the standard required seems not to cut it for whatever reason?

I can't believe for one moment that it is beyond the wit of our club's lawyers to check his contract.

Who the fuck would buy him? It makes sense to me too, they'd have done it if they'd been reasonably able.Sandie wrote:I think if we could have sacked him they would have done. Unless, of course, the club don't want to pay him off and still think he has a transfer value. If that's their thinking, they're delusional.
Looking around, its rare that you see footballers sacked for anything other than drugs or imprisonment. I sure can't think of any other reasons a footballer has had the push from his club at PL level.
