One thing that has always puzzled me is why he was made Club Captain.  He has always appeared to be the last man you would want as captain.  It is not as if you need a Club Captain as well as a Team Captain.

One of many dreadful decisions made by the club since Lerner gave up in 2010.
True that

Shoehorning Lerner's name into a thread about Gabby is good going but I knew you'd manage it.

Yep.  I remember seeing a documentary about Graeme Souness and his time at Rangers.  He was talking about signings and he said that his best were Terry Butcher, Ray Wilkins, Richard Gough and a player called John Brown.  When asked why he said they were all good players, but they also set standards in the dressing room.  He said they made his job easy because anyone not pulling their weight was sorted out by them before he gphad even had chance to have a go at them.

Contrast that to our senior players namely Agbonlahor, Richards and Lescott.  I can't really imagine there is anyone else in that dressing room willing to step up and have a go at those three, so I imagine they do as they please.  I jus want to see all three of them gone.

While he's got only himself to blame, the finger has to also be pointed at those who were too cowardly to call him out on it. That's pretty much everyone at the club and especially the various coaches and managers. Disgraceful that it has taken a stand-in manager to finally call him out.

He really doesn't like this Duverne guy does he? Flabby Agbonlahor. Disgrace to the profession.

Not sure how you took that I was upset, but oh well.

Lerner is to blame to a degree though, that summer, if we had of had any money to spend do you think the manager wouldn't have replaced Gabby with someone else if he had the chance? We spent a pittance that summer .

A stone overweight say The Mirror

http://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/news/aston-villas-gabriel-agbonlahor-around-7756977


Didn't Houllier say this as well when he came to the club.  Agbonlahor seems to have been able to do as he wants over the last five or six years. We were all baffled when he was awarded the contract extension with Lambert. At least we got Lambert out of the club.  I think Gabby might stick around,  where else is he going to be able to call the shots whilst doing nothing in return. Oh yeah , and who else is going to pay him sixty odd grand a week for this pleasure. He's a bad influence at the club. Roy Keane for all his faults spotted this if the details of that training ground bust up were true.

The future is easy to read.  We are going to get rid of N'Zogbia and he will be replaced by Agbonlahor.  A non playing massive financial drain on club funding.  Only in football where money is tossed about like drunks playing Monopoly could such a situation arise.  Are we doomed through incompetence always to have such players?  Who will become Gabby's successor in 2018?  Ayew? Amavi? Grealish? Gestede?

I am impressed by Eric Black he has the right attitude. New manager?  Well,you never know.

Just to play devils advocate

Imagine if this was a catalyst for Gabby to snap out of the pathetic malaise he has been in, gets himself as fit as a butchers dog and became the player he was and roars us back to the Premiership. As people have said Vardy is the same age. A gabby of 5 years ago would rip the championship defences apart

Would all be forgiven?
