Why?
Before Richards played for us, I didn't like him. When he signed for us, I didn't like him (and he was largely shite). Now he's a pundit, I still don't like him, and have no interest in anything he has to say about our club. Equally, I don't hold a grudge or wish him any particular ill. Life's too short, and he never should have been brought in.

The club offered him a crazy contract, he signed it and he saw it out until the end as he is entitled to.But let's not get all misty eyed about poor Micah. There's a reason why his name will always invoke a level of vitriol compared to let's say Lansbury. He was the captain of one of the worst teams in the club history, a truly diabolical outfit. He was arguably one of the worst players in that team and did nothing to quell a toxic dressing room.

I certainly don't feel any sympathy for him, but he didn't surprise me, either. He was just one particularly shit member of the worst and most dislikeable Villa team I've ever seen.
Robert Green seems incredibly insightful on 5Live.
Well I’m not his biggest fan but I understand he was a popular character behind the scenes. Not that it really helped much.He’s definitely nowhere near the worse pundit on MOD. The main problem with most is they only scratch the surface of the team and like Michael Owen’s comments the other day regarding our last two transfer window’s it’s basically a load of bollocks.
Liam Rosenior was great as a pundit on Sky before he joined Derby as a coach. Really insightful with great knowledge of the modern game.
Richards barely played for us and when he did I don’t think he embarrassed himself with his play.
