I work with a few people that drink at a place that McCormack often drinks in (shock), and this info has apparently come from people in that pub that know McCormack. It sounds like tittle tattle, but it'd be great if true. Best find out what else he knows. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post TrentVilla Posted June 3, 2019 Moderator Popular Post Share Posted June 3, 2019 See you..... I enjoyed moving this one to other football... it’s been like Christmas this week for me! If ever there was a week to show just how £&@&£) little the press know about what’s happening at Villa it was this. They’ve spent a week peddling some absolute shite such as the McCormack pay rise and then this! Its great news and the owners and Purslow have shown they are very different people to we’ve had calling the shots previously. As for Ross, one of our worst ever signings but he clearly has issues away from the game so I hope he finds his way through them. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I imagine it's an agreement that is less than the value of his contract, but enough to convince him to leave. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We're using the Clark and gueye money to buy a player who has scored more goals in the past 3 seasons in the championship than anybody else. We will have the best striker in the division. who else is better qualified to score goals for us? 22 goals and 11 assists in a shit Fulham side last season. an absolutely brilliant signing for us. well done Tony.

Farlz Posted June 3, 2019 Share Posted June 3, 2019 Thanks for nothing. One of the worst signings we've ever made. Have to say I am enjoying this clean slate though, binning a lot of the rubbish. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr_Pangloss Posted June 3, 2019 Share Posted June 3, 2019 I always said this option was on the table so delighted the club have taken it, brilliant move. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It wasn't a dig about him being lazy, more an indicement on the situation and mindset he finds himself in that he can't even face going through the motions for an easy pay check ( as many would) Good luck to him.

sidcow Posted June 3, 2019 VT Supporter Share Posted June 3, 2019 Wow was shocked to see Ross moved to other football when I popped onto VT. Signed a "variation agreement" I assume this means he has accepted something less than the remaining value of his contract to go. Why didn't Micah do something similar? Assume he wouldn't cut a deal. Or did FFP hamstring us from paying him off (less impact to keep it spread out) but we now have the freedom to just pay the lump sum). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From my trusted sources at the pub () I’ve heard that he’s been in there in right states in the middle of the day at times during the season. There was mention of him having sick down himself.

You’ve been impressively quick on the trigger finger moving some of these over. I salute you! As for McCormack, he will be banished to the scrap heap alongside so many other failed Villa signings, and soon forgotten. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
