Villa players in drunken bust up

[UsualSuspect]

I suggest we call up Sid's old team-mate Eamon Deacy and have the matter sorted "out of court"

He could also bring Alan Evans with him...

i would sack dunne for gross misconduct and therefore save having to pay him off and save on his wages, his transfer value may only be £2m now so saving on wages would be the better option, get him out the club .

we have clark, cuellar , baker , young and collins still to get throught the last 9 games so dunne can go, the damaging effect he may have if he stays makes it better to get rid and if legally we can do so lets do it.


its sad that sid appears to have bore the brunt of dunnes vile behaviour but dunne had problems at man city and keegan said he was very close to being sacked there -this is not his 1st time this season either so get rid and give collins a final chance .

[mozza]

Sorry state of affairs - extremely bad publicity for the club, and at a time when
everyone should be pulling in the same direction

Well you have to credit their audacity. Having a go like that at someone who was not only a million times the player they could ever dream of being, but also a million times the man, one who never took the piss with fans of any club, one who was a consummate pro throughout his career, one who is revered from Brum to Bari, one who retired after a glorious career only to not rest on his laurels and go on and, it seems, to establish himself as one of the best coaches of young players around. Dunne and Collins rest on their laurels during a game after one (rare) good piece of defending. The unprofessional, backwards, disrespectful bastards can piss right off, for footballing reasons and for being massive twats.

Never a truer word spoken.

It's been said earlier in the thread, but if there's one man around Villa Park you cannot treat like that, it's Sid.

Dunne's got form for this but I'm a bit surprised by Collins.

[exigo]

I love the way the press try to stir it up, by listing a set of players who've "fallen out with the manager". That list of hard-working, passionate, cut-me-and-I'll-bleed-claret-and-blue players? Stephen Ireland, Stephen Warnock, Habib Beye, Richard Dunne, James Collins and John Carew.

I'm not the biggest fan of Houllier, but right now I'm 100% behind him. Especially if he can replace that lot with players who can actually give a fuck. And maybe even pass to a teammate.

Why are you bringing NRC into this ?

This is just another nail in the coffin of a thoroughly rotten season for me that has been dragged through the mud by the behaviour of certain so called professionals. If we stay up (Still an IF to me I’m afraid) then nothing will give me more satisfaction than seeing these useless wastes of talent and skin being bombed out of Villa Park and hopefully replaced by professionals instead of jumped-up overpaid pub players, drunk on their own self worth and ego.

All that I hope is that day that these cretins come to pick up their P45 and roll out of Villa in their Lambo’s and pink Range Rover's that there are Villa fans there to express to them what they feel. I know they won’t care, but I’d like to think that maybe something might register, maybe some modicum of guilt perhaps.

Whatever.
Thing is all is not well, and we don't need such aggro from within with 9 games left and relegation a possibility.
How Houllier and the club deal with the problem will determine the end of our season, but it is clear all is not well at the playing end of the club and something major needs doing now and not in 9 games time.
What, I have no idea, but some sign of leadership is needed, now and again come the season close, whatever the ending is.
Sadly the players will go their own way, probably more than we want if there is so much dissatisfaction, the manager at worst will find work elsewhere, and as usual, its the club and its fans who will suffer long term.
Not a season to be remembered even now.

[cheltenhamlion]

We shall have to try to get to the bottom of exactly what went on but what a pair of pillocks.

I don't see anyone getting the boot mind.

[eastie]

Keep the faith Malcolm, in the long run houllier will sort out this mess.

Only if he's given the chance.

Yep,the sooner we can scrape enough points together to be safe,the better. Put this shitty season behind us,get rid of the final deadwood of the squad,and have a younger,vibrant squad for next season.
 Those two cnuts havent been great this season,so they should be sacked for footballing reasons as well.

[Dr Butler]

Collins and Dunne are not fit to lace Gordon Cowans boots and are a disgrace, they can now react in two ways dig in and show us what they really can do for our club or they will just continue to be effing useless in the centre of our defence.

let's all hope it's the first.
