Wittmann Posted July 23, 2015 Share Posted July 23, 2015 What a pathetic article....just an attack on him because he hasn't been tempted to take part in childish school yard games to dish some dirt to help them sell rags! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rodders0223 Posted July 23, 2015 Share Posted July 23, 2015 Probably the rug being pulled from under him by the owner Given a fiver to spend and told to save us from relegation Well that is completely not true. Our teo best players were going to go no matter what. We have brought in two 10m players and I am sure there are plenty of funds to bring in more. The fact is we finished 17th last season, we have been in a relegation battle for 5 years. The vast majority of players do not want to come here. We need to keep searching.

dont_do_it_doug. Posted July 23, 2015 Share Posted July 23, 2015 Agree that he probably feels mugged off at the minute. I would imagine he's waiting till we have "replaced" the two that have left before he comments at all again. Fair play to him. **** the media. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post PieFacE Posted July 23, 2015 VT Supporter Popular Post Share Posted July 23, 2015 I quite like the fact he's refusing to speak to the media to be asked about a 1000 questions about Delph / Benteke. Just get on with the job of replacing them. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have brought in two 10m players Gueye was £6mil I think mate Point remains though, he was powerless to stop the players that have left from leaving and the club has supported him in buying new players and by the looks of the numerous links to several players the club will continue to support him There hasn't been any rug pulled from under him, the sniping at Lerner is as childish as it is pointless 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dn1982 Posted July 23, 2015 Share Posted July 23, 2015 Allegedly refusing to do media after friendly games according to the Mirror, saying it's a time for action instead of words. Basically he's completely pissed off. TBF I don't blame him. This summer the media have jumped on every bit of news and spun it negatively. Bemteke photoshopped in a Liverpool top. Calling Delph a bottler. Sky not reporting our signing only our departures. Even picking us out of 3 teams that have gone to xxxxl shirt sizes anything to give us a dig. We've won 2 friendly games and every question would've been about how we are falling apart. I for one hope he doesn't play the media games this season. Just do good interviews on AVTV and I'll be happy. The press don't do anything for us so don't do anything for them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
avfc1982am Posted July 23, 2015 Share Posted July 23, 2015 I don't blame him at this point in time. Very little good can come from interviewing now. It would just be about Delph and Benteke and there's not much that can be added to that story. Best to wait until some arrivals come in and then talk about the club looking forward to the season with the fresh blood on board. I agree. I'm actually glad he hasn't really mentioned the Delph or Benteke moves tbh. If anything he say's indicates him being pissed off the press would have a field day making us look even more negative and desperate than they already do. Better to say nothing than to say anything triggering negativity around the club at the moment. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BG_Villa_Fan Posted July 24, 2015 Share Posted July 24, 2015 A rare good decision by the Villa PR ( supposedly ) to not allow Sherwood to talk to the press, which will no doubt attack him fiercely over Delph and Benteke.

Well done for once. It would be harsh if they attacked Sherwood for those departures. Both had clauses that were nothing to do with Sherwood. The Delph debacle was utterly unprecedented - Delph should surely be the focus of the press's attention on that one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EddieB Posted July 24, 2015 Share Posted July 24, 2015 Wait, there were people who even after the Horror show in Hull DIDN'T want Paul Lambert sacked? That boggles my mind and I was a supporter of his for a very long time. tbh not that I thought he was doing anything of a good job but I can't go to that place where I want a fellow human being sacked. I mean my judgement of the whole situation was that he was suffering from depression. Been there done that myself and actually got sacked as my performance at work suffered. I saw a buttload of the symptoms. I think the club should have helped him... maybe they did. I don't really know. Just can't go to that place where I want a human being to be sacked when they are having a rough time. Obviously he may have been well happy and I just misread the situ. Just didn't want him sacked.

If he was working his ass off pulling 6 shifts a week at Tesco earning the 'living wage' and was depressed then yeah, I'd say go easy on the guy. But he wasn't, he was pulling in a significant six figure salary to organise 11 men into something resembling a team between 1-2 times per week, sorry but I had/have no sympathy for him 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spoony Posted July 24, 2015 Share Posted July 24, 2015 The media will only want to talk about Delph and Benteke. He's done the right thing - he shouldn't be talking about other teams' players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
