Kidderminster Exile 0 Posted February 20, 2016 Just noticed thisSome senior officials at struggling Aston Villa have hired bodyguards, and players have been banned from leaving the ground until at least an hour after the final whistle to avoid clashes with fans, a former employee has revealed.

AJ 1,218 Posted February 20, 2016 From what I''ve heard, and especially after the recent Paul Lambert interview about his time at Villa, the owner sounds like a complete and utter bell''Sort of feel sorry for them, but they deserve to go down. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Crabbycanary3 994 Posted February 20, 2016 Nope, don''t feel sorry for them, what goes around comes around. Mind you, them being such a Big Club ''n all, they will have no problems getting back to the Prem............... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jacko 0 Posted February 20, 2016 I respect Lambert immensely for everything he did here but I cannot have any sympathy for him with regard to anything he said in that interview. Villa had been trimming their budget long before he came. It was instrumental in O''Neill''s departure and Mcleish whilst not a great manager suffered under similar constraints. Lambert went there fully knowing the score. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BroadstairsR 2,137 Posted February 20, 2016 Three failres?I suppose you mean Hooper, Fer and RVW.Wolfswinkle was the Club''s biggest ever disaster in the transfer market, and let''s hope it remains the case at the ending of this season. The jury is still out on both Pinto and Klose, whilst Naismith (the best of them) seems to have gone off the boil, slightly. As a trio, they haven''t much influenced results as we''ve slipped somewhat since the last window.That''s nearly £20m.Hooper scored valuable goals last season and we got decent money for him.Did we not sell Fer at a profit?

GJL Mid-Norfolk Canary 1,735 Posted February 20, 2016 Villa are a shambles on and off the field, and its all very amusing.......until you remember that we managed to lose to them 14 days ago!....still scratching my head , especially in the light of how they played vs Liverpool last week, that our manager was able to come up with a team selection that wasnt able to score, let alone win.

Mello Yello 2,273 Posted February 20, 2016 Yup......It certainly got worse for us at Villa Park......Hopefully, our squad will return back from the warmer climes in Abby Dabby all fitter, tanned, refreshed and invigorated......Ready to do battle against Them Foxes and then Chelski......Again, here''s hoping.....

Horse Renoir 1 Posted February 20, 2016 They''re getting relegated from the PL for the first time in decades? Boo hoo!If they want to see how bad owners can be they should look at Blackpool. I darent say anything about what''s happening there in case I get sued but they have owners who actually seem to hate the club and it''s fans!They''ve had a poor season but their fans talk as if the club is being wound up or something, they have no more right to be in the PL than anyone else and it''s not like it''s Man Utd or Liverpool being relegated!
