Micah Richards - Released

[mattjpa]

I cant even be arsed to dislike him anymore. Like Gabby, he has become an irrelevance to Aston Villa, like a bouncer that wont let you in the Holte Pub because you dont have a season ticket despite it being 3/4 empty - Just another person employed by the club I support. I doubt ill ever see him play for us again but if i do and he shows the ability, hunger and desire that got him to the heights of his career I will be prepared to revisit my stance on him. Life is too short to be holding grudges against someone ive never met

Who wrote the 2nd half of that article? His Mom?

"Deep down he'll be hurting" - not as much as we are!
While pragmatism may overcome sentiment here and we need the bodies it is pretty poor that we didn't get someone eels in to cover his position and ship him out

I wonder if the grinning twat was hurting as much as we were when we got dumped out of the PL on 17 points?

Hurting all the way to the bank!

Tosser.

Read. Noted. I still wish him nothing but ill will.

The epitome of the 'me, me, me' footballer.

Over here in Belfast I have to take the word of you guys in the Midlands in regards to your local press and radio coverage of the Villa...Jesus, you really were telling the truth.  That article is an absolute disgrace - anyone on the same land mass knows that Richards and his buddies from last season are the new poster boys for greedy, out of touch, modern day parasites.

I'm all for giving players second chances, especially if you're paying them ridiculously exorbitant wages (they could at least try to earn their salaries), and I totally disagree with 'bomb squads', but the sheer manner and ineptitude of the performances last season, coupled with the sneering attitudes towards Villa fans for having the audacity to question those performances, for me, dictate that Richards and Agbonlahor should never be near the side again.

We're on a journey back to the top (hopefully) but what happened last year must never be repeated. I really do feel that Villa missed an opportunity in standing up for the fans and the game itself by getting these clowns out the door with great publicity (who in their right minds would employ them after that) or in Gabby's case sack the f**ker after those antics and let the PFA try to defend the indefensible. Either way, he would have been out the door, instead of hanging around like a bad smell and taking dickheads photos with the new signings. I know this is a Richards topic, but they both represent failure at a ridiculous level.

So he's a good character to have about the place and keeps spirits raised with his uplifting banter.

Sounds like we've just created the first £50-grand-a-week Club Mascot!

Are you  allowed to swear on  this  forum?  If so  he is a--e H--e of the highest order.

I just wish he f-----d out of our club.

Money grabbing hasbeen.

Has anybody mentioned Micah Richards is a useless c**t?

Has anybody mentioned Micah Richards is a useless c**t?

I think that is the general theme

[markeeeebeeee2005]

Any news on how Micah's getting on?

Bruce must have the patience of a saint to find it within himself to give Flabs a game. But even bearing this in mind Micah 'top bantz' Richards is nowhere to be seen.

[Rudy Can't Fail]

Hopefully regaining his fitness just in time to piss off in January. I certainly don't want him anywhere near the team. Absolute waster.

[IAmTheOneIanOlney]

I think of all the things that could derail Steve Bruce's fine start with us, Micah Richards being back in the team would be top of the list.

[eamonn]

Maybe we should loan him back to Fiorentina and he can earn his wage giving progress reports on how Carlos is doing.
