Bang goes another

Kortney Hause, fresh from being gifted a contract extension to 2026 by Steven Gerrard in January is shown the door in August without pulling on a Villa shirt again.

And to think there are still Villa fans out there parroting 'believe in the process'.

Yep, sure, we'll sign a new centre back, but he'll be second rate, ageing, on loan and surplus to requirements at his current club.

We just desperately hope that ALL our loaned players have call back clauses because boy is the new manager going to need them after the wreckless squad vandalism perpetrated by S Gerrard.

No-one is claiming Kortney is a Champions League regular but neither is the Premier League a session on football manager.

Our squad is being decimated.

Only the wilfully blind or foolish would not see the huge jeopardy the incompetent Gerrard and his entourage are placing the club in.
