Gabby

[Clampy]

Something that's been mentioned on facebook (and apologies if it's been brought up previously) but Gabby looks quite slim in those piccys. Maybe they're not as recent as Saturday just gone or the fitness programme he's on his working wonders.

It'd be just like the Sun to sit on those photos waiting for the moment to inflict the most impact.
Mind you in the grand scheme of things it's a nothing story really. We have far more important stuff to worry about than a washed up footballer getting pissed and high.

Indeed. It's a relief it's the story it actually was. Talk Sport were building it up to be something massive to be revealed after 11pm then after 11pm they hardly mentioned it.

I think the resignations of King and Bernstein are related to this news about Gabby. The club would have found out about this yesterday. My guess is Bernstein went to Randy to have Gabby fired and Randy refused. This wouldn't be the first time Randy undermined the football board and King and Bernstein just had enough of it.

Not so sure.
King and Bernstein will know that there has been recent 'form' in this respect. I hi the issue is much more fundamental in their relationship with either Lerner or Hollis and the strategic direction of the club.

Hardly  mentioned anywhere else. Somebody mentioned earlier in the thread that Agbonlahor may have a problem outside football.This is how he deals with it.Some take to drinking heavily and die early like George Best and Jimmy Crabtree did.Some suffer from chronic depression.Some take to drugs. The problem for Gabby is what will happen when the money runs out.?

The story would matter if it concerned a talented Aston Villa player.

[Tony Erdington]

if hollis has got any bolox, and can work the law, sack the little shit, with no compo.

[Archbishop Herbert Cockthrottle]

He's looking for a way out and knowing that the worst that can happen is that they pay him off, he is going the right way about it.

Personally as previously mentioned by Dave Cooper, I would play him for every remaining game this season and let him feel the wrath.

Two further years on£50k per week should keep him going a while longer

What a knob. I have defended him in the past when he was personally slagged with no apparent reason apart from his performances....but now I see why. I just think he's is a bit dim.

Him along with all the squad should be made to do the 'lap of honour' after the Newcastle game.

I've also defended him in the past when I thought this thread got a bit over the top.  But fuck him.  The fat useless ******.

It is all quite sad really. He has never been the most talented footballer in the league, but he had enough about him to be above average. If he'd coupled that ability with a decent work ethic and a professional attitude he could easily have cemented his place as a real fans favourite (if not a legend) at this club. He could have then spent the remaining 40 or 50 years of his life feeling the adulation and respect of a huge cohort of his fellow Brummies. And maybe a medal or two to cherish.

Instead, he is just a f*cking c*nt.

Worse than Hodge.

Somewhere in his contract there has to be clauses for not being fit for purpose , where you can terminate it  ??

[anton hillman]

Instant dismissal on the grounds of gross misconduct would be the appropriate sanction in this case. He was supposed to be on a fitness campaign under employer's instructions for god's sake! No wonder King & Bernstein headed for the hills. How could anyone with a shred of reputation to protect carry on being associated with the troop of clowns that our club has turned into.

[RichardBatchelor]

This is The S** kicking a club when it's down. Doing what they do, doing what Murdoch does, and being snivelling, lowlife little shits in return for a few more sales.

Where is there any evidence this took place on Saturday and where is there any evidence Agbonlahor is doing anything that would compromise his fitness? Nitrous oxide doesn't and there are no empty containers of alcohol (which wouldn't prove he'd been the drinker anyway) lying around.

As for Gabby's 'friend' who sold his arse to the Sun, he needs a kicking.

Having said that, Gabby is hopeless and should be kicked out for his terrible displays over two years, his goal return and his lack of fitness, hence professionalism. But not for these silly photos, big deal.
