However, we DO feel it is time time that clubs took a stand against the power players and their parasitic agents think they hold over the game and if Paul Lambert and Randy Lerner decide it's appropriate to deny the request and let the player rot, training with the development squad and missing the World Cup as a consequence, then they have this website's full support.
Aston Villa has always been a pioneering football club. Maybe we should be the first to draw the line in the sand.
We are, however, HUGELY sceptical about the timing of the announcement, coming AFTER season ticket renewal deadline day.
Sharp practice?
