Robert Pires<\/a> has accused the Aston Villa<\/a> hierarchy of showing him \u201ca lack of respect\u201d and admits he is disappointed by his lack of first-team action.<\/p>\n

The Frenchman only started in two home fixtures \u2013 against Blackburn and former club Arsenal \u2013 last year, and was used a further seven times as a substitute having made the move from La Liga outfit Villarreal, where he was a key contributor.<\/p>\n

The winger was not used in Villa’s recent victory at the Emirates Stadium and believes Gary McAllister\u2019s decision not to bring him on was an act of disrespect.<\/p>\n

He told The Mirror: “<\/em>I was very happy to be able to sign a new contract with an English club, even more so at Aston Villa with Gerard Houllier.<\/p>\n

“But when I look back, I am extremely disappointed. I knew I wasn’t going to be a guaranteed starter but I would have liked to have been used a bit more.<\/p>\n

“During the penultimate match, at the Emirates against Arsenal, we were winning 2-0 and I thought McAllister was going to put me on. It was at that moment I said to myself there was a lack of respect.<\/p>\n

“My experience at Villa has been a failure. I would not like to end that way and so will play into a 20th season. But if at the end of the summer I have no offer I will stop.”<\/p>\n
