BOF Posted April 5, 2016 Moderator Share Posted April 5, 2016 I had thought that next season in the Championship would be the first season in a long time where Gabby could be useful for us. But having seen his new girth, I think even that's beyond him. He's done. Even Championship defenders would handle him now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PieFacE Posted April 5, 2016 VT Supporter Share Posted April 5, 2016 He's completely had it as a footballer. I wish to never see him in a Villa shirt again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

deamie Posted April 5, 2016 Share Posted April 5, 2016 I do not think the club should take no action...at the very least he should be stripped of the title of club captain and warned about his future behaviour.....sends out the wrong message! I was beginning to think our new board were doing things right but this shows nothing really is going to change. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They were trying to find an excuse to sack him Why would Gabby be "suspended" and Micah nothing when they are in the same photo? Because of some shish?

mykeyb Posted April 5, 2016 Share Posted April 5, 2016 Nobody on here knows what was said to our club captain behind closed doors though. We cannot prove it but we think it best you look for another club as soon as possible because you done here..... Or sorry Gabby, you did nothing wrong your back in the managers plans for saturday.

We'd probably buy some untested drugs from France that no-one had ever heard of but we were confident looked promising. Then when they didn't have any effect, the people who bought the drugs would be sacked. Anyhow, back on topic to Gabby. I could never see how they would have a discipline case against him. If they did, about two thirds of the players in the premier league would be sacked. Is it excessively cynical to see this as a diversionary tactic to try to placate the fans and divert them from getting their banners out on 74?

They didn't, they just had to go through the motions because he managed to get himself in the papers. The club had to be seen to be taking action as otherwise there would be media outcry that Villa weren't taking action about the "bad behaviour" of one of their players who was pictured smoking.

Guest av1 Posted April 5, 2016 Share Posted April 5, 2016 3 hours ago, Richard said: I'm hopeful we will flog him in the summer to some MLS team or better yet the chinese league looking to spunk millions on a former England international Only a top notch salesman could keep a straight face whilst trying to pull that one off Sadly i think the only way we're going to get rid will be in the form of a payoff. There won't be many (if any) people willing to pay him £60k a week, and Gabby certainly wont take a pay cut. As he effectively retired from the game about 5yrs ago, money it seems is the only thin he's interested in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
