David Ginola has been told by John Gregory that his contract will not be renewed next summer. It will not come as a surprise to most people as the Frenchman has never seen eye to eye with Gregory and has yet to start a game for Villa this season.
Ginola joined Villa for £3m from Tottenham in July 2000 and has been unimpressive in his time there despite earning close to £2m per year, all that looks set to end now though with Gregory saying, "We will not be taking up the option on David's services and the player has been informed of our decision."
