It's a measure of the two of them that they think it's perfectly normal to discuss the affairs of Aston Villa and all it's dirty washing in the public domain. They have proved themselves to be totally unfit for purpose for the postitions they held. Good riddance to the pair of them.
I often wonder what it takes for a player to be called out at times. Micah Richards was not fit probably when we bought him. We gave him a four year contract. Both of those are arguably our fault. But from then on in he was nothing short of a complete disgrace to the shirt and the club. His charge sheet is quite long but is headed up by a captain of our club a captain no less choosing to form a clique of largely British players against young, vulnerable yet talented foreign signings thus aiding and abetting a toxic dressing room when we most needed it to be joined up. Culminating with his totally unfunny not to mention unprofessional performance on the Bad Santa video that’s let not forget finished with Hutton being given a language book or some such. He fcuked off to Dubai instead of staying behind, being humble and helping to promote the club from behind the scenes. And refused to acknowledge supporters anger at two so called professional players choosing to have a chewing gum spitting contest during a near humiliation away at Wycombe. And he got paid for doing all this don’t forget. Fcuk him I say. Most players are well able to engineer a move when it suits them. Amazing he didn’t find his way out of a £50k a week contract until it expired.

If I recall it was actually the total opposite and he was the only one to acknowledge the fans during that game.

But he was the one who had the row with the fans who'd been having a go at Guzan for having a gum spitting contest.
If he was such an “influence in the dressing room” then how come we got relegated?
When it sinks in that the two people whose antics are described above were the team captain and club captain, you really get a sense of just how bad things were then.
