Welcome Roberto Di Matteo and Steve Clarke

[Ger Regan]

It occurred to me today that it is entirely possible that the Poison Posse will see the coaching and management structure being assembled and try to grovel their way back into favour.

I would hope so. I'm all for second chances. Especially cost effective second chances. Then we can spend money elsewhere.

Who of lescott, richards or agbonlahor showed themselves to be even worthy of a place in the squad, regardless of attitude issues? They were three of our poorest performers last season, so for that reason alone they should be fucked off from a great height.

[Small Rodent]

Could their performance be related to attitude?

If not, I agree with you. If it is all about attitude and it can be changed, that might be a glimmer of hope for them.

It may be easier for the new management team just to get rid.

Whatever was splitting that dressing room and undermining the manager/club needs to be cut out and disposed of.  If it has happened once, it will happen again.

We need a clear out so that the new manager can concentrate on building, rather than rehabilitating.

In other words, piss off, gabby.

In reality we might get rid of  Richards, we are stuck with the others.Gabby will not shift  under any circumstances I can imagine.

Quite possibly with lescott (and to a lesser extent, richards), but gabby is without doubt a lost cause, and is too fucking thick to work out how to change his attitude.

So many jokes, so slow at typing.

would be my guess these days.

True enough. I find it remarkable how much i dislike our record PL goalscorer.

[Dave Cooper please]

Is his middle name short for Diane?

[Villa in Denmark]

True enough. I find it remarkable how much i dislike our record PL goalscorer.

It's incredible how someone so fêted could quickly become so widely despised.
Odd really how his own career has mirrored Lerner's.  With any luck he'll f¤¤k off soon, although hopefully without receiving £10's of millions for the privlege.

[brian green]

I still think there is a club so stupid and ill advised they will take him off our hands.

[KevinGage]

On loan, with us stumping up half (or more) of his wages, possibly.

[aj2k77]

It would really dampen my anticipation of the new season if we have the ****** mob from last season still playing for us. I'm not interested in watching them, reading their thoughts or stupid tweets or anything about them, I'd rather they just left and if they mostly stayed I'd think twice about attending much next season. They took the piss this year, humiliated the club, were the worst side we've ever had and don't deserve another shot in our colours and under our name.

[brian green]

The situation for the malingerers has changed radically.  They could throw their weight about and undermine unregarded fringe managers like Sherwood, Garde and Black.  But now they are confronted by respected professionals like RDM, Clarke, Bond and Marchesi.  Not to be wanted by Remi Garde or Eric Black is one thing but not to be wanted by RDM or Clarke is a whole new ball game.  If I was the agent of Guzan, Agbonlahor, Richards, Lescott or Bacuna I would be telling them to buckle down and keep their traps shut if they want any kind of decent move from Villa.
