KHV Posted April 1, 2016 Share Posted April 1, 2016 The club is probably trying to find out if they can terminate his contract without giving him a payoff and so they don't have to fork out £65k per week in the championship Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wainy316 Posted April 1, 2016 Share Posted April 1, 2016 If he goes now and stops draining our club any further I'll try to remember only the Gabby Agbonlahor of 2005/2011. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Demitri_C Posted April 1, 2016 Share Posted April 1, 2016 Blacks said it was his decision after having talks with Bernstein. Finally we have some football people here ready to dish out punishment for unacceptable behaviour. lets hope this is the start of removing the losers and deadwood 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rodders0223 Posted April 1, 2016 Share Posted April 1, 2016 If we could rip up Gabby's contract without paying him a penny I would be so happy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Under Oneill he was excellent. Now he is just picking up his pay packet for nothing. Collymore was an expensive flop but at least we were able to get rid of him.

Like I said before gabbys been here 12 years and collymore was here for 3. Gabbys been shit for many many more years. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rubberman Posted April 1, 2016 Share Posted April 1, 2016 I imagine Remi will have had a fair bit to say about the players who weren't up for it during his exit negotiations so Gabby's card will have been heavily marked before these shenanigans. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My post was an attempt to be lighthearted (trying to play on the fact that we already employ a shit load more staff than other clubs, seemingly) but, whilst Gabby's not done himself any favours this season or perhaps in other seasons (just like other players haven't), the angry demands for some form of asceticism from the players surely comes from fans' frustration at the predicament of the club, the players' poor performance and their apparent lack of care rather than an actual demand for them all to behave like that during their playing career? 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

villa4europe Posted April 1, 2016 Share Posted April 1, 2016 if we throw the book at gabby then it'll be interesting to see what the wording is, if it was for the weekend away on the piss partying he wasnt there alone... if its for the smoking then he's not the first and probably wont be the last...

Stevo985 Posted April 1, 2016 VT Supporter Share Posted April 1, 2016 If it's for the weekend then it could be that the club didn't give him permission (maybe they did give it to Micah?) But we don't really know what it's for yet. Could be to do with the rumours that he was very "anti-Garde" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimzk5 Posted April 1, 2016 Share Posted April 1, 2016 Iirc there was a rumour when mcleish came in that Gary Mcallister had warned mcleish about certain players and I think gabby was one of them he won't be a big loss, he's not been involved in matches he's played in for 4 years Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm of the opinion that if you want a team to be successful in 2016 they have to be athletes and train, behave and perform like one. Football is far more physical sport now than it ever has been. As I said, a glass of wine here and there does no harm but binge drinking is absolutely unacceptable. If you want to do that, and not be able to perform at your best in training and games then you don't deserve the millions you're paid. It's the trade off. Do whatever the **** you want in the summer break. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nah, he could easily deny that. The real Gabby Agbonlahor went missing sometime around 2010 and hasn't been seen since. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
