But we didn’t have access to the medical reports and scans that Sherwood and the club had, they knew about the issues with his knee and signed him on a long term deal. It was negligent from all involved. Richards won’t play again for us or probably anyone else. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We either didn’t do the correct medical checks or they came back clean. It makes no sense to see a major issue and still sign him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clearly he wasn’t crocked before he arrived as he played games for us but the issues were there and his knee got worse, they knew there were issues and took the gamble. With his history prior to joining us they didn’t come back clean. They took a gamble, a huge one given the length of contract and it blew up in our faces. He will never play another minute for us. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mantis Posted December 28, 2018 Share Posted December 28, 2018 6 hours ago, Londonastonvilla said: When he was appointed it should have only been a short term appointment until the summer. We needed an experienced manager to carry out the rebuild.At the time I thought the team that went down was one of the worst villa teams I had ever seen but a lot of those players were actually pretty good they needed more experience around them some players like Terry etc and relegation might not have happened It was a mixture. We had some talented players (Veretout, Amavi, Gueye, Grealish and Traore) but who were completely untested in the Premier League (or in Grealish's case, inexperienced). That would've been fine if we'd had some pros in the squad but what we had instead was one of the biggest collection of words removed ever assembled in the Premier League. And then there were many who were just average/poor. It was a toxic mix, but the recruitment that summer was woeful. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zatman Posted December 28, 2018 Share Posted December 28, 2018 Richards i said at time was a shit signing and would never have an impact. I had seen him play Fiorentina before signing and he could barely move Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheAuthority Posted December 28, 2018 VT Supporter Share Posted December 28, 2018 He had also played about 14 total games in the previous 3 seasons if I remember correctly. Whoever sanctioned his signing should be sued. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomaszk Posted December 28, 2018 Share Posted December 28, 2018 Was very unimpressed when we signed Micah. He never looked good for us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaChris Posted December 28, 2018 Share Posted December 28, 2018 I didn't mind the signing but was under impression he'd play at right back. Giving him captain's armband and also the CB role was a joke, guy has no positional sense. At Man. City he had the pace to get him out of danger but with his kness couldn't do that anymore when he turned up. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dale Posted April 5, 2019 Share Posted April 5, 2019 Looks like he's about to get the QPR job. The bloke isn't a coach, isn't a manager. He'll fail. Again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keyblade Posted April 5, 2019 Share Posted April 5, 2019 Haven't they suffered enough? The fact that he could land a job in the second they after his disastrous career to date is crazy. It really is an old boys club. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sharkyvilla Posted April 5, 2019 Share Posted April 5, 2019 Steve McClaren followed by Tim Sherwood. I think I'd top myself if I was a QPR fan. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mantis Posted April 6, 2019 Share Posted April 6, 2019 I honestly thought clubs had figured him out by now and were rightfully avoiding him like the plague. Clearly not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AJ Posted April 6, 2019 Share Posted April 6, 2019 They never really recovered since Hurricane Harry tore them a new one. If he does get the gig, if you know any QPR fans, be nice to them, There is no knowing what they will do. Poor bastards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
