Moxley tells us like it is.

Disagree with a lot of that. 

Yeah it is filled with utter bollocks. He advocates getting rid of Remi when anyone with half a brain can see he is one of the few plus points about Villa at the moment.

Disagree with a lot of that. 

The bit about Atew's sending off showing that Gardedoesn't have the respect of the dressing room is just desperate. It's as if Rooney or Becham never did anything daft under Ferguson.  Instinctive rushes of blood to the head happen to players and hopefully they learn form it. It doesn't say anything about their relationship with the manager.

Terrible article from Moxey. Show Garde the door. For who or what.

Right about decison making but not exactly insightful

Apparently so, haven't seen it myself yet.

He said it on his post match interview on WM.

It's taken me two attempts to read it in full, the first time I gave up when Garde cropped up cos I thought it was gonna be uninsightful, mildly jingoistic bollocks.
Should've left it there.

Does he?

Crumbling institution? There's nothing crumbling. We have an A grade ground, high spec training facilities and a good fan base. It's the team and board that have been mismanaged.

Clear out Remi Garde? So we are going to sack another manager, after not backing him. Who will walk in to the hot seat then?

Garde has not come up with a coherent plan? We've gone from 9 defeats in a row to almost a pt per game. It's not great but you have to be in denial to not see that we were a completely dysfunctional team. No spirit, no bond, no care, no idea.

He carries no clout in the dressing room as shown by Ayew elbowing someone? He's a youngster, he will learn. Did Ferguson carry no clout when Roy Keane or Wayne Rooney were getting sent off? He's talking bollocks.

The recruitment team didn't want Begovic or Adebayor? Adebayor didn't turn up to a medical and Begovic wanted to sit on the bench at Chelsea for a wedge. More bollocks.

Sherwood kept schtum on the signings and hoped for the best? No he didn't, he talked them up and talked up his scouting network and the value of European players over brits. He took the praise for the signings we were making. Even more bollocks.

It's a terrible article.

[PeterWithesShin]

I don't know which is worse, that he wrote such a piece of shite or that someone paid him to write it.

[Villa in Denmark]

I don't know which is worse, that he wrote such a piece of shite or that someone paid him to write it.

That some people will swallow every last syllable, comma and full stop without stopping to think about what's really happened / happening.

You don't have to think everything in the garden is rosy to reject that as an absolute waste of electrons.

The Mail website now doesn't let you read articles if you have an ad-blocker.

It's no real loss.

[Toronto Villa]

It's a massively shit and inaccurate article. The only bits I agree with is that we haven't spent Lerner's money well, but that's as much to Lerner as those he trusted. And the whole fucking myth about Sherwood and the summer transfers is incredible that it still exists. Especially given quotes from him on how he supported the players we acquired. Moxley has opted for the easy path to journalism. Just fill column inches without making any real effort to identify fact from fiction. It's very poor.

It is, but it has become the narrative in the media. Sherwood, Lambert, McLeish all hard done by a club on a major cost cutting exercise and a delusional group of fans.  Even elements of the local media are going with it as well.

When did Moxley join the Mirror?

What another totally inane article 'that's on total spend though.'  Dear God.

[exiled on the wirral!]

On twitter last night Messrs Kendrick and Evans in another boring article on ex Villa managers, got themselves mixed up with Graham Taylor and Turner...If It was me,I would take pride in getting my facts right before publication. Just lazy journalism again from The Mail.

[clash city rocker]

I think it just goes to show how few decent football journalists  we have in this country at the moment or is it a case that their bosses just  force them into providing column inches regardless of whether it is true or not. I.e.   anything to sell the newspaper.
