I believe the problem with richards is the knee. Can't remember the medical term but basically he can't train without aggravating it so can't get fit. Why he's hasn't been paid off is a good question. My guess is because we signed him knowing he had the problem and we can't get a pay-off

I'd like to say I can't believe we'd do that but...

And he's still only 29. Should be at the peak of his career.

A mate of mine who bumped into McCormack reported him looking in great shape

If Richards has a twitter account why not just tweet him asking him what the situation is because from the outside it looks like another case of a scandalously rich player leaching from a foolish club.

Looks like he hasn’t tweeted since October 2016, but has retweeted a few times.

About time Xia came out with a proper statement. We need to know his intentions. Not some vague rubbish or a poorly written tweet...

If anyone tweeted me asking about my work situation there is zero chance of me responding. I doubt he'll spill the beans.

It would certainly appear to be what qualified medical specialists would diagnose as a bad case of the hump.


See Gray's Anatomy under "Hump, getting The".

Has there ever been a football club with so much potential that has been run as badly as Villa have been for the best part of thirty years? I just hope that our next owners, whoever they may be have a touch of business acumen. Deep pockets wouldn't hurt either!

Whoever signed Richards should be shot, sacked and then kicked in the cock (or fanny if it's a lady).

That’s the nun of it, Richards is perfectly entitled to see out his contract, it was the ridiculous length of contract that is crippling us.

He was regularly on the training photos through the season so that suggests he was fit but like Gabby it seemed he was not made available to the u23 side.

You’d have thought at some point out local press might have asked the question in a weekly press conference of what was Micah’s situation.

I think Doug got it right and spent a few quid between 1987 and 2002. SGT, BFR, Brian Little and even Gregory to an extent were all inspired appointments and he backed them with money. After that SGT and DOL had to try to do everything on the cheap. Obviously we want the next owner to have deep pockets but with FFP even that won't guarantee success.

I've looked for evidence to back up this claim but I've found nun.
