The more I hear about the goings on at villa park the more I wonder how long it will take to put things right. Good people are loosing their jobs. The top earners at doing just as they please by the sound of it. I should imagine there are some bitter people at the park at the moment and who can blame them.

[ROBBO]

I think he is saying that Villa have a squad full of wankers who don't give a shit for the club or the fans, iwould like those players to be called out for what they are, name them shame them.

[Stu]

What the fuck is Black on about in those comments?

The players don't want to play any more is how I read it.

Pay up the contracts, fuck them off out of the club and lets start again.

[West Derby Villan]

Total bunch of twats, fuck em all off, bastards

[ronshirt]

I can understand the players thinking that if Lerner doesn't turn up then why should they? And perhaps if they've read comments on here they've thought if you think I'm not trying now then watch and weep. But at the back of their minds must be the question of their next employment. Who's going to risk comtaminating their squad with the likes of Bacuna, Richards, Lescott and The Fatboy?

First, as we've debated many times, whether an owner turns up or not doesn't seem to have much effect on other clubs. Second, I doubt very much if any of this lot could be bothered to log on here, much less care one way or another about what's said. Third, sadly they will all get a club next season, and at the sort of money the rest of us could only dream of.

 I agree somewhat with Dante.

Essentially Black is taking one on the chin,illuminating our wretchedness up for the world to grasp even more.Quite possibly with the tacit agreement of the board,he's been told to dig deep with the blame game and watch the chancers squirm.Good

No doubt he'll be a casualty of whoever arrives,and he's probably on a short term contract,so there's little in it except perhaps a little personal and professional pride for him.Hopefully he's laying the seeds for a pre-season of physical and mental redemption.

Totally agree. I don't get the criticism of Black. How can you motivate a dead mongrel? It's like blaming the emergency services for an earthquake. None of it is his fault. At least we and the wider football world are starting to hear the truth about the players. And I suspect more truth could be in the pipeline.
Rather than EB, I'm more concerned that Radar O'Reilly is still with us.

[AndyB6]

I find the talk of 'anarchy' to be yet another humiliating moment for the supporters.  Is there no mention of accountability and performance in the players' contracts? For example, why are we not being told that Agbonlahor is being fined (as you would do for most players who have broken their contract). Don't they have weight targets to maintain? I understood that they have to return after the summer break in good condition otherwise they get fined?

If the club trying to protect Agbonlahor's personal well being or an 'asset' they are hoping to sell?

I'm a bit baffled.

[Toronto Villa]

As much as the players and have have really let us down, I find it incredibly disappointing at the amount of our laundry being washed in public by the various "managers" we have employed this season. It hasn't helped at all in our attempts to turn the situation around. There has been any number of occasions where we might have taken advantage of the struggles of other sides above us to close the gap and we didn't because in part, the manager at the time couldn't unite the squad. I'm not suggesting for one minute that is or was easy, but telling the world what wankers they are hardly aided matters.

I would much rather we took the approach of removing the unwanted players like we have now done with Gabby and concentrating on the other squad members to try and improve the situation. Instead it appears each manager has compounded the situation with their public comments about the squad.

[curiousorange]

How can the squad be in limbo? They're totally responsible for their position. It's not as if they're going to play any better once they have an R next to their name. If that were true, we could all lump our life savings on a result at Old Trafford should Norwich get an equaliser.

Black fears anarchy? It's been anarchic all season.

[CT]

...and he says he wants to get results for the Club, whilst picking the same shite all over again.

Absolutely woeful side. There's no pressure, we're down, put out a side our travelling fans, and all our fans, could be proud of.

But no..

[ez]

What the fuck is Black on about in those comments?

That the team is unmanageable.

[PaulWinch again]

Another fucking diabolical selection.

[Jon Crofts]

Yet again picks a shower of c**ts.
