Collymore has a lot to say! (link). Though his common sense remarks are often to be applauded I still can’t get my head around how much he let his favourite club down. He was signed for what was then a big fee and effectively we had to do a Darren Bent to get rid of him.
In some ways it could be said that his antics really started the demise of AVFC. If he’d done his job we may well have been a top force and won trophies. He and Dubbers were a lethal combination on paper, with Hendrie (another let down). What a contrast: Dubbers the profound professional who never let anyone down and nearly got killed for his pains (his broken neck), and the two disappointments that were Colly & Hendrie.
I note that Collymore mentions his past as a player at Villa but in the same breath seems to play down how much his negativity affected the progress of the club. Yet now he wants to impart his great wisdom! Though a person can be forgiven for his foibles (we all make mistakes) I rather feel his tone ought to be more quiet instead of proclaiming that he’s been called in by BL.
I praise Brian for talking to anyone who has status and has something valid to say, but maybe BL should have said “please keep our meeting quiet”.
