Micah Richards - Released

[Drummond]

Lives in Harrogate now. Or so he said on Tv the other week. (I'm not eastie; I don't know his address or his wife's name)

Never seen him round these parts. Perhaps he's in hiding, along with Dolly.

Southgate used to live in Nidd, I did see him now and again when I lived up there. I guess Richards probably spends more time everywhere else as a pundit.

I swear it was revealed he was a bluenose somewhere once.  Probably fabricated by that lot because he swore on national tv after scoring a 90th minute equaliser against us and that makes him proper Blues.

I thought Micah Richards grew up in Leeds but was born in Birmingham due to his mother giving birth whilst visiting friends in Brum.

From memory, he was ambushed by a few of their lot on holiday and was 'tricked' into giving the Zulu sign in a photo.

For me he epitomises all that was bad at our club during that period. I remember the first thing he did when arriving was advising Delph to go in the opposite direction. Horrendous purchase by Villa

Richards and Keith Wyness having an almighty shouting competition on twitter at the moment.  Basically accusing each other of being liars.

I dont think anyone comes out of this looking particularly good.

is he not related to the Sturridges in some way , Cousins or other ?

[luke95]

At the end of the day we couldve let him go , but also he couldve said mutually cancel my contract , you owe me nothing, no wages  & let me move on.
But he didnt

I know its a game of opinions but some of the replies telling Micah that real Villa fans knew how much he cared and always gave 100% are leaving me questioning my sanity.

I remember him being crap, and thankful when he was no longer named on the bench.

[richtheholtender]

In all fairness I am on Micah side here. This all but confirms there was clear interest from West Ham so he should have just been let go. Poor business again from villa.

[Sexual Ealing]

I think Wyness comes out worse.

[PeterWithe]

I think West Ham come out worst of all. Wouldn't you pick the phone up and check that a bloke you are about to spunk millions on can actually play a game?

[Sexual Ealing]

But he was a legend in the changing room!

[Drummond]

If what Richards says is true, then it perfectly sums up the shambles we were.

Why insist on a fee when you aren't playing him?
