Collymore was a complete leech at Villa- earned considerably money and returned zilch.
Gray is a different type of parasite altogether.Neither of them are true Villa men IMHO despite their protestations. If they were why would they keep having to suggest so.

Oh and they both spout interminable bollocks far too frequently.
He was suffering from depression at the time, and had a manager who thought he should just "snap out of it". Hardly surprising he wasn't at the top of his game.

Indeed. He's a fannypad for his comments now, but his time at Villa was at least in part tarnished by some things beyond his control.

I appreciate he was ill for part of his time at Villa - I believe, though can be corrected, it occured around the time he beat up his then girlfriend. Accepting Gregory was the last type of manager you need in that situation. However he was non responsive to the previous incumbent and contributed in part to his downfall.

Al I can remember is £7m being pissed up the wall. I may be wrong but seem to remember that John Gregory didn't exactly put him in the shop window after that Fulham game but contributed to his devaluation. As I say, I may be wrong.

aye, loads of people suffer from depression but they don't feel the need to knock 6 bells out of the women in their life. allways thought that however unsympathetic we were about his illness, the main problem was, he's a dick. and lets face it we weren't the first club who wanted shot of him.

Agreed, he got away with a lot due to his well publicised illness.

I think I would literally piss myself laughing if AM ended up at Albion if Woy gets the England job.

I bet that banner they were showing yesterday wouldn't get another airing.

Precisely. Collymore was a disappointment at Villa but he was suffering from a mental illness while at our club so all this nonsense spoken about him really is pathetic. He's entitled to his view and it shouldn't be met with abuse on here.
I think he's wrong about McLeish but he's still entitled to say what he likes. By the way, he IS a Villa fan despite what people continue to say about him on here.
