Howcome no one with any position of power at the club during the last 4 years has noticed that Westwood can't strike the ball properly half the time. It's like he plays in a giant pair of boots.
QuoteEric Black would love to take maximum points from the closing games of 2015/16 - but says the No.1 requirement is bringing the pride and credibility back into Aston Villa.Black takes charge against Chelsea on Saturday - and the coming encounters until a new manager is appointed, following the departure of Rémi Garde .Black accepts it's been a hugely upsetting period for the Club but suggests now is the perfect time to plot an upward curve for the claret and blues.He said: "We have to try and change something. I said that to the players."We have to take this next seven games and get some respect back into the Club and show the supporters what it means to the players."I can't do that - I can help that process. But ultimately I won't be out on the field."It's up to the players to show what it means to them."We have seven very difficult games - but very competitive games. We're not down yet and the Club now has to change direction."I would just like the fans to feel like we're heading in another direction. That's not their responsibility - it's the responsibility of the Club and the players."I just want them to feel like we've come to a line in the sand and we're now moving on with a different atmosphere."I can understand their frustrations. It's been an enormously difficult time for a fantastic football Club."But I think we need to look forward now and we need them with us without doubt, more than we need anyone else."

Not sure one young player would have changed todays game anyway tbh. Hard to do when 5 or 6 of the rest of them very obviously do not want to be playing for us at all.

I know the bomb squad was a bad idea before but if ever there is a need for another bomb squad I'd do it for the remainder of the season. I wouldn't care if we had to pay them off so they never ever put in a Villa shirt again.Wankers.
Black is merely the helpless driver of a runaway train. There is nothing he can do that will change a single thing. We need to purge this horrible lot as soon as we possibly can.
He's got some help moving 'the cones' about.http://www.birminghammail.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/aston-villa-eric-black-hired-11139444
