Title: A message to the Aston Villa players
Post by: ROBBO on December 28, 2010, 09:14:35 PM
We know that some of you look at these threads so pass the message on to those that don't. We the supporters don't care if you have a beef with the manager or you don't like the training methods or you wish to be somewhere else. You are living our dream, to be paid huge incomes to play football for the team we love, Villa is our passion and when we see you guys just going through the motions seemingly without any desire to represent the shirt really pisses us off. This is the same squad, less one, that took it up to the top teams in the premiership last year so there is no excuse for the dismal displays we've been watching over the last few months. Next time you run onto the Villa Park pitch have a look around the ground,every single Villa supporter wishes he was you, you are our players. The very least we expect is a total committment to the club and it's supporters.

And when you look up at the crowd try to get into your thick heads that a very large number are enduring great financial hardship and insecurity yet still find the money from somewhere to pay your obscene wages.

Like they're going to give a flying fuck.

You reckon John Carew is going to be sitting there in his gigantic house, worrying about the fact he hasn't earned a penny of his 60k a week for at least three months now?

Will he fuck.

Not really though because this is the same bunch of players (albeit Clarke, Bannan, Albrighton and Hogg never played under O'Neill) that took us to 6th last season and the season before that and on both occasions challenging for 4th spot. Players like Ash, Gabby, Reo-Coker, Petrov, Cuellar, Friedel and even Heskey know what it's like to be competing at the top, winning and know how much it means to the fans. They haven't been in a long and deep coma for the last few months and totally forget what they've done whilst playing for the club etc...

You really honestly think that Villa players read internet forums to see what we think?

Maybe, just maybe some of the young, hungry players that want to impress, but Richard Dunne will be too busy eating Christmas Pudding and Stephen Ireland whitening his teeth, Carew will be in a titty bar somewhere and Sidwell, well he probably isn't doing anything constructive just running around a lot trying to look busy so his Mrs doesn't get him putting up a shelf or something.

They don't give a fuck as long as their Ferrari hasn't got a puncture. Wankers.

Well said man----but i doubt very much whether any of them give a tinkers cuss about our feelings maybe the young ones, Fonz

  Bannan and Albrighton not many more,how many show their appreciation of the magnificient  away support they get?, (and at home for that matter),they are more obsessed with swapping f*****g shirts with the opposition,and getting home to their flash wagons and mansions-----selfish ungrateful tossers

Post by: sid1964 on December 28, 2010, 10:13:30 PM
who is to blame for the players being paid stupid money?? we are as fans, because as soon as a player threatens to leave then we are up in arms that we have to pay them more to keep them, and likewise when a player joins us we cant wait to welcome them with open arms and we don't care how much they are paid.

But as soon as things start to go wrong the first thing we do is moan how much they are being paid!!

The club is in trouble at the moment, but maybe out of all this the club will look at this as a way to sort itself out, by getting rid of the big earners /prima donna's, and the players that are just there to top up there pensions etc.. and invest in a crop of young players that we can build a team that we can all be PROUD of.

Well said Robbo, the players are not in touch with reality and for all the club's PR the players are the one's who can change this... Randy, the General, even GH all know about the great name of Aston Villa and the pride we all have for the club. Unfortunately the players only value their wages and all the prizes that come with being a professional footballer, they couldn't give a toss about which set of fans they have to show up in front of next week, football is deteriorating rapidly!

Do the players realise that it takes me 3 years to earn what they get paid for one week?  Do they realise that I can no longer afford to 'go down the Villa' with my son?
Having a bad day at work is one thing, not putting the effort in because they don't like the manager is another thing.
They don't play for the manager they play for us. US the supporters who chant their name sing songs about them and give so much just to watch them.
I and everyone on this forum and those that turn up every week will be here when you have gone.  Some players will be remembered as heroes some will be forgotten others will be scorned for years to come.
What will you be? Or don't you care?

And we the fans allow this to continue, really think i'm done with my money in this game..

It beggars belief that highly paid professional sportsman could put in
a performance like yesterday which was to a man poor in the extreme-

I can understand and forgive mistakes (I've made enough in my lifetime)
but surely the players have some responsibility for apparently lacking in
effort -

A couple of weeks ago I watched the reserves match v Baggies at Bodymoor
Heath when Mssr Carew & Pires 'played' for 60 minutes - the effort exerted
especially by JC hardly noticeable whilst our younger employees were busting
a gut to win the game -low and behold both featured in the next Premier match!

Let's be honest with ourselves, its a job pure and simple for these people -
yes there are exceptions to the rule but the Ian Taylors of this world are few and
far between-

Maybe we should be thankful that several current players have come through
the ranks and possibly have more respect for their employer than some of the
senior professional journey men -

I would just like to say to the players that some of us are on a very low income and that we scrimp and save to watch our beloved Villa while you the players who earn or should i say obtain by deception couldn't care less about your performances it's about time you looked long and hard in the mirror and give yourself a wake up call do it for us the fans who pay your wages because one thing we fans have in common that you players dont we love  Aston Villa.

You can employ as many managers as you like but if the squad is rotten, there's nowt you can do.

Dunne - A fine job you're doing. Still wouldn't give a toss if you left though.
Collins - You're a talentless moron who doesn't know what to do with the ball apart from hoof it 24/7.
Hutton - I'll always class you as a Spurs reject. You play like shit on the pitch.
Warnock - Go back to the reserves you sulky boy.
Delph - How does it feel knowing you're out of your depth in the Premier League?
Bannan - Must be annoying that Delph is being ahead of you...
Albrighton - What's happened to you? You're a year older and you've gone backwards.
Petrov - Your legs may have gone, but you try your hardest and that's a thing to admire.
N'Zogbia - Not good enough and you know it.
Ireland - You are a one season wonder. You are mentally damaged. You are a shit player. Fuck off.
Heskey - Why have we done to deserve you?!
Gabby - Keep up the good form my good man!
Bent - I can understand your frustration due to the rubbish midfield and tactics. Won't be surprised if you want out due to the board shafting the whole club.

The players we have are shocking. Either not good enough, a poor attitude or shocking wages. Some of them are related to all 3. The wage bill doesn't justify their value at all.

On the original thread Greg i could hadly have visualised how the club could sink much lower, I didn't realise there was still a fair way to go. I'm sick of having an owner who is part time and employs idiots to run the club. I know people will come on here and say what a great guy Faulkner is, i would rather have a mean hearted cretin who knows his football back to front thanks. The thing that really shits me though is that to a man all Villa supporters were of one voice in that the team have desperately needed a couple of good midfielders for the last three years, if You were Faulkner you would have had enough knowledge to make sure the manager strengthened this area of weakness and given him the funds to do it. A crap board, a crap manager and a crap midfield = Aston Villa.

There's the keyword Rotten. We have some bad apples, who they are I don't know, but we do have them. A few egotistical, lazy wankers, and their dragging the rest down with them. At a guess, some of the more older so called experienced players. Get rid.

GH had their number, but unfortunately Lerner aborted his plans probably on the grounds of cost. I'm afraid we're stuck with them. You can make a case for one manager not getting the most out of players but 3? For all the platitudes from some about preferring AM in the press, most of them aren't much better than last season and if i was AM i'd keep an eye on who's standing behind me - he's likely to get the same knife stuck In his back that was used on GH.
