To be fair, he has. He's on record as saying it went to his head when he signed for us and in combination with being played in a system which didn't play to his strengths he let things slip.

He did very well for one season in a system that suited him. It's not his fault Bruce signed him with no clue how to get the best out of him. I don't think he's as bad as Jordan Bowery for example, he's just incredibly one-dimensional and not Prem standard. But he's 27 now and needs to be playing regularly, which won't be for us. Forgive me but I actually laughed out loud when you said ‘ I don’t think he’s as bad as Jordan Bowery for example’ I know. That's setting a low bar but it just shows how terrible some of those lucky enough to pull on a Villa shirt have been over the past decade. Hogan isn't close to being the worst. He was lucky to get picked up by us and unlucky Bruce was the manager at the time.

I saw Hogan score in a 1 nill victory up at Shrewsbury and people say he never delivered
The Hogan nightmare continues...So he’s being sent back from Stoke for being as shit as we thought he was at Villa. Let’s hope we don’t end up being stuck with and reliant upon him.
I thought Bowery played quite well in that classic Stoke away game (LOWTON!!) as well.
Or perhaps Antarctica.
