Testimonials are for players who serve ten years at one club I believe. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Players are now multi millionaires hence the need for them has deminished. Money goes to charity these days I think, it's more just a way to say goodbye to a player who has given a lot of time or is highly regarded nowadays. I think he deserves one, never been the best ability wise but has been treated very poorly over the years and has never sulked or said a bad word about the club when many others would have, always kept himself in top shape and has contributed with some big moments for us. Has a real connection with the fans, a testimonial is more than deserved IMO 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jareth Posted May 30, 2019 VT Supporter Share Posted May 30, 2019 Yeah I think on balance, Hutton should be thankful for the good money he's earned and ride off into the night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kingman Posted May 30, 2019 Share Posted May 30, 2019 (edited) **** me, I really don't hope we have a mass cull of the senior players, Shipping out 6/8 players and bringing in another 6/8 will see us end up like Fulham, think most should be given another 12 months to set the standard for new players coming in that might upset the dressing room.

Soo would you keep him? I think Whelan will get another year. But Grealish, Chester, Mings & McGinn set the standard. We also have a back room staff that is part of the culture here. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Khizzy Posted May 30, 2019 Share Posted May 30, 2019 I'll miss the bugger even though he's not good enough to cut it in the top flight any more. Good luck for the future Hutts! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We got relegated with him and were 3 years in the championship with him at RB. Main reason I personally believe we went up was because he got injured and a proper right back played. Lets not rewrite history with this giving his all BS. The amount of times in a game he bombed forward and jogged back at his leisure infuriated me. I actually think he believed he was cafu with the stupid name he was given by fans. There is no way the worst RB we have had for 50 years should be given a testimonial or even consider a great servant to Villa. Only think i give him credit for is not complaining and keeping his head down when he was put in the bomb squad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well imo Hutton was an awful player and i curse the day he signed for Villa. Its nothing personal and he seems a good bloke but doesn’t change my opinion on his footballing ability Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stockport_Villain Posted May 30, 2019 Share Posted May 30, 2019 At times of trouble he gave us everything he had. With that came some bad but also some fantastic memories and goals to boot. He will be welcomed back with open arms if he returns. Thanks for the memories the Scottish Cafu. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regardless of your, completely subjective, view - he gave his all, never complained and genuinely enjoyed playing for us. As for worst RB in 50 years, James Bree made Hutton actually look like Cafu.

He's had some moments of brilliance this season and last season he was ok, but that doesn't change my overall impression of him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keyblade Posted May 30, 2019 Share Posted May 30, 2019 Never forget how he was bombed out of the squad for 2 years by Lambert for seemingly no reason, even finding himself in Mallorca at one point, and then coming back into the team like nothing even happened and forced himself back into the team with some great performances. Always been a consummate professional and never took anything personally. What he lacked in ability he always made up for with effort. Thanks for memories and THAT goal Alan.

VillaJ100 Posted May 30, 2019 Share Posted May 30, 2019 Scottish cafu sums it up. Its like being the Turkmenistani Phil Taylor. All well and good but it's not an endorsement of quality. Cheers for the goal against the vermin Alan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
