Aston Villa: Gerard Houllier row ends the John Carew conspiracy theories
Nov 9 2010 by Mat Kendrick, Birmingham Mail
AT least this should put an end to all those John-spiracy theories, as I call them...
Surely you’ve all heard the latest one that John Carew hasn’t actually torn a calf muscle in training – it’s an invented injury because he refuses to play?
The targetman has been the target of claims like these throughout his claret and blue career.
There’s probably a cyber-loon speculating that Big John only started seeing Alesha Dixon all those months ago as a cunning way to woo Strictly Come Dancing’s Ann Widdicombe.
It’s just as well Villa Park and Bodymoor Heath have football fields rather than grassy knolls, because there are more imaginary mysteries surrounding JAC (John Alieu Carew) than JFK.
Not any more. Now everybody knows where they stand. We all know for a fact that Carew dislikes Gerard Houllier. We’ve got a pretty good indication that the feeling is mutual. And it’s no longer a secret that both sides would be better off cutting their losses as soon as possible – be it in January or next summer.
In a week when Villa are keen to promote the arrival of their sparkling new replica kit, they have instead ended up airing their dirty linen in public.
