BLACK SLAMS 'TOXIC' VILLA
28/04/16
You know it's bad at your club when your manager comes out and describes the atmosphere as "toxic". Interim Aston Villa boss Eric Black took on a difficult job when he stepped in for Remi Garde until the end of the season, and he's not held back with his recent statement.
Speaking to reporters ahead of their game this weekend, he said: "My wife said not to take it, she was right and I was wrong, everyone knows that, and I've never seen a team surrounded by such negativity. With everything else that's going on here, it's created a toxic place to work.
"Don't get me wrong there are problems here, but any new man that comes in will have to change things immediately."
