Great, another Aston Villa saga being played out in the press.

Reports last week suggested that the club had scrapped plans for Lee Hendrie to have a testimonial, Hendrie being forced out?. Something the midfielder later denied, Villa want shot of Hendrie

Now a report in the Express and Star claims that it was Hendrie who called off the testimonial. According to the report Hendrie will leave this summer and his advisors have told him that it wouldn’t be right to ‘ask fans for a salute’.

The Birmingham Mail quote operations director Steve Stride saying:

‘It is quite wrong to suggest the club has scrapped the plans and it’s disappointing this has even been suggested. The fact is we received a request from Lee’s own management company to put everything on hold and this was done. Now we’re simply waiting for Lee’s representatives to come back to us. This is certainly not a case of us going back on our word.’

Kinda makes you proud doesn’t it?!?
