Spoony Posted April 23, 2016 Share Posted April 23, 2016 Unbelievable. How these players have gotten away with this behaviour for so long and how the club have let this attitude thrive is baffling. I hate this club. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PussEKatt Posted April 23, 2016 Share Posted April 23, 2016 What the F**k.Teves just went back to Argentina, Benteke went on strike at his Belgian club and now this. Why cant the clubs that pay these guys wages fine them or cut their money or something.Sureley their contract states that they have joined up to play for the club.So, if they are not playing they are in breach of contract yes or no ? The same goes for Gabby. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danwichmann Posted April 23, 2016 Share Posted April 23, 2016 I'm just wondering what our legal options could be here. I'd love to see us sack Okore, then sue him for the potential transfer fee we could have received. Or maybe we can sack him, but still refuse to transfer his registration until someone pays a transfer fee? Sadly, with the way Villa is run these days our legal advice probably comes from a company with an 0800 number who advertise their no win no fee service on day time ITV. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
srsmithusa Posted April 23, 2016 Share Posted April 23, 2016 10 hours ago, praisedmambo said: My word. Money money assets assets. Sounds like spreadsheet logic to me. How about the player himself benefits the club and stops taking the piss. He's a player who is paid a huge wage and he should do his **** job. If he's refusing to be on the bench then what was Black meant to do? Bench him. As you said. Play him with the under 21's as he did. Just not tell the world he's a prick. I know these analogies suck and get old but "I have a car for sale it's shitty and won't run unless it feels like it, who wants to give me top dollar?" 0f course the attitude sucks! Of course it's wrong! Of course it should be disciplined. But the only one who benefits from the public explanation is Black, not the club.

PussEKatt Posted April 23, 2016 Share Posted April 23, 2016 But these guys have signed contracts. On the one hand the club pays them.On the other hand they MUST ( unless they are sick or dead ) sureley ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jasoncb Posted April 23, 2016 Share Posted April 23, 2016 In what world can you refuse to do your job and still get paid. No wonder players run football clubs these days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xela Posted April 23, 2016 Share Posted April 23, 2016 Delusional; rocket polisher with ideas above his station. **** the word removed off. He's played a handful of good games in the last few years and now thinks he's Bobby Moore. He and his agent have been orchestrating a move for a while. Sooner we rid the club of attitudes like his, the better 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dodgyknees Posted April 23, 2016 Share Posted April 23, 2016 Well let's face it, Micah Richards has been on strike for months anyway. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ferguson1 Posted April 23, 2016 Share Posted April 23, 2016 Have to say very disappointing to hear that he has refused to be sub and then not realised his mistake/apologised. No one should ever be above the club! Black would have looked weak if he had given in to him so fair play to him on that front. Another one then that can leave for all I care. To be honest there isn't many in this poor squad that I do like or care about. Major overhaul required at the end of season and Okore can join the clear out pile!

Dr_Pangloss Posted April 23, 2016 Share Posted April 23, 2016 Sorry but this has to be breach of contract. We surely have grounds to simply stop paying him/ fire him on the spot with no compensation? How can you have a situation where an employee refuses to work but is still getting paid? The club should stop paying this word removed immediately. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harry Posted April 23, 2016 Share Posted April 23, 2016 Yet another player displaying a bad attitude. No doubt its all about engineering a move at the end of the season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kingman Posted April 23, 2016 Share Posted April 23, 2016 I think the only reason this has not been blown up by the club is because he is one of very few assets that will fetch a couple of quid and don't want to get involved in derisory bidding wars come Pre-Season. Same as Le$cott another Judas rocket polisher. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davkaus Posted April 23, 2016 Share Posted April 23, 2016 (edited) I hope he gets a game, at home, the word removed should hear what people think of him. If he doesn't want to play, play the rocket polisher for every single minute. Edited April 23, 2016 by Davkaus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Villastine Posted April 23, 2016 Share Posted April 23, 2016 This is just another symptom not the cause. It's ridiculous having no manager. The club is in total disarray and I don't think Black is helping at all. If Okore has refused to play then suspend him too. What the he'll I'd the point in talking to the media about it?

wazzap24 Posted April 23, 2016 Share Posted April 23, 2016 You kind of feel he (Okore) has a point when legsgonscott keeps getting picked! I'd have him out now just because we can't be having players doing this type of shit, but I know one thing, I don't reckon too many of us on here would be having the crap from Black either! Should've Reo-cokered his ass rather than refuse to play though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyBM Posted April 23, 2016 Share Posted April 23, 2016 why wont the club acknowledge the fact that okore SHOULD be playing ahead of lescott and even richards without question. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's no defence for what he's done. why would the club comment on that? the manager picks the team. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
