PieFacE Posted February 1, 2013 VT Supporter Share Posted February 1, 2013 Good luck to Warnock. Always tried his hardest whenever he played. His best just wasn't good enough. Just Dunne to get rid of now then all the over-paid MON signings have gone. Thank ****. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

markavfc40 Posted February 1, 2013 Share Posted February 1, 2013 he didnt originally sign him but didnt he gave Gabby the big contract he is on? Gabby signed a new 4 and a half year contract under Houllier in November 2010. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zatman Posted February 1, 2013 Share Posted February 1, 2013 ah ok thought was MON. Strange Houllier gave him a contract as never looked like he would have been in his plans Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob182 Posted February 1, 2013 Share Posted February 1, 2013 I think Houllier played Gabby on the wing mostly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sharkyvilla Posted February 1, 2013 Share Posted February 1, 2013 I think Houllier played Gabby on the wing mostly Yeah, played Gabby out wide and Young through the middle. When Gary Mac took over he swapped them back round iirc, and coincided with an improvement in results. I still believe Houllier did the worse job of the 3 since O'Neill.

Troglodyte Posted February 1, 2013 VT Supporter Share Posted February 1, 2013 ah ok thought was MON. Strange Houllier gave him a contract as never looked like he would have been in his plans I think MON gave Gabby his first 'big' contract, I vaguely remember it being reported that he'd signed a new one that gave him a significant boost in wages during O'Neill's tenure. He then extended it under Houllier. Unless I've imagined the whole thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mantis Posted February 1, 2013 Share Posted February 1, 2013 cough.. over paying players got us 6th in league twice... what would you rather take 6th or second from bottom? We did over-pay for Warnock though. Massively. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

a-k Posted April 25 Share Posted April 25 Quote Former England international Stephen Warnock says he considered suicide after taking poor financial advice. ... "I didn't sleep properly for six years off the back of that [financial advice]. I was going back into training every morning on maybe three hours' sleep." The breakdown of Warnock's marriage coincided with his retirement, while there was a period in which he did not see his children. Warnock, who had stints at Liverpool, Aston Villa and Blackburn Rovers in the Premier League, said his financial difficulties led to him postponing retirement, as he needed to continue earning money. Warnock added that in the final years of his career he became "frustrated" with football and "lost the buzz" as he dropped down the leagues. "Now I look back at it and think 'wow, I was massively depressed for years'. I retired at 35. I probably retired mentally at 31," he said. https://www.bbc.com/sport/football/articles/cll438d2d40o Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rodders0223 Posted April 26 Share Posted April 26 Last week I've watched Danny Murphy and Wes Brown on podcasts talking about the same thing. How difficult is It to turn earn 50k a week and buy a nice house and put the rest in savings accounts. "If I have a 10, 15 year career at this level I'll have only have earned 10m - 15m net. I need to make some high risk investments!" 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You know you have to do something with that money (it's not just gonna sit in an account) and the sneaky men in suits have just the right idea for you. It is easy to get burnt.

Zhan_Zhuang Posted April 26 Share Posted April 26 Quite like Warnock as a pundit and he was a decent Villa player too. You can tell he has an affinity for the Villa always has that feeling when he talks. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You should walk a mile in a man’s shoes before judging him, is the old saying that comes to mind in these circumstances and plenty of other circumstances too.
