dn1982 Posted July 4, 2017 Share Posted July 4, 2017 Since Hutton arrived we've been in decline. I know he's not totally to blame but some players are just the linked to failure. It'd be best for all if he left. He only got his contract renewed because De Laet got injured and he hit his automatic renewal number. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NeilS Posted July 4, 2017 Share Posted July 4, 2017 (edited) I have never really rated Hutton, so won't be too sad to see him leave. I wish him well though, as he hasn't kicked up a stink and usually tries his best when he plays. I just think we need better players and we are well stocked on that side of the pitch with Bree, De Laet, Bacuna and even Richards Edited July 4, 2017 by NeilS typo 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hutton was signed by McLeish and has played under 8 different managers whilst he has been here and he has also been shipped out on loan a couple of times as well. We currently have 4 right backs (5, if you count Richards, which I don't) and that's just farcical. I completely agree he is not to blame for the decline but he is a massive reminder of it. Whilst his performances have been hit and miss (mainly miss) his attitude has been always right and that's why he has got the appreciation. That's why when he does leave I will wish him well, but I will be utterly delighted if he sold. A real sign that times have finally changed. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd release him the wages being saved alone would be worth it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eastie Posted July 4, 2017 Share Posted July 4, 2017 Always gives his all but lacks quality - not fussed about a fee , I'd let him go for free and free up his wages for other areas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not quite how it works, if you release a player you have to pay off their contract... therefore there is no saving on wages. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyrusr Posted July 4, 2017 VT Supporter Share Posted July 4, 2017 I was curious as to how many managers he has worked under. Since he joined Villa in August 2011 he has worked under 14 different managements (including interim managers). 9 of these at Villa, 2 at Forest (albeit 1 was McLeish for a couple of matches), 2 at Mallorca and 1 at Bolton. Whilst that includes some he has only played 1 or 2 matches under, that works out on average more than 2 a year... In fact he has a total of 21 managers in his career to date. The worst part is that he has played under McLeish with 3 different clubs! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post jackbauer24 Posted July 4, 2017 Popular Post Share Posted July 4, 2017 I have nothing but respect for Hutton. At times he's played badly and at times he's been treated awfully by the club (and its supporters) but there is no questioning his commitment. Last year he was one of the few to perform reasonably well. His renaissance from bomb squad to cult hero is impressive. On saying that we have, arguably, four players for that position in him, Bree, DeLaet and Richards. We have to be mindful of FFP and we have an overabundance of players there. Bree is one for the future, DeLaet was meant to be the replacement and Richards is whittling down his contract so maybe it's best for everyone he moves on. I will wish him well if he does leave, hopefully he heads up to Scotland and dominates up there for a lot longer. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But you can set his price at 0 effectively releasing him to join Sheff Wed. We've all played FM but thanks for the recap! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gillz Posted July 4, 2017 Share Posted July 4, 2017 Would be happy to sell him He always tried which is more than i can say for most of our recent players, but ultimately he is not good enough and we now have better options in his position. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NottingVilla Posted July 4, 2017 Share Posted July 4, 2017 Getting rid of this clown and actually getting paid for the real money for him would be the best bit of business we'll do this summer. DO IT. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CosmicVillan Posted July 4, 2017 Share Posted July 4, 2017 Why is it the guy with the great attitude doesn't possess the skill and some of his more talented teammates just haven't looked bothered. I will never fault any player that gives it their all come matchday - I would keep him as a championship squad player 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post DCJonah Posted July 4, 2017 Popular Post Share Posted July 4, 2017 You have to respect the guy. Bombed out by that idiot Lambert and has just always shown a fantastic attitude towards the club. He has his faults and with 2 rbs signed in the last 12 months we should be looking to move him on. He's one I want rid of but one of the few I will look on fondly. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sidcow Posted July 4, 2017 VT Supporter Share Posted July 4, 2017 He will be rembered as a bit of a cult hero. A trier who was mistreated but never complained and always gave 100% and for that I thank him and will remember him fondly. He will not however be remembered for his amazing play as a quality right back even at Championship level and for that I look forward to him going. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
