Audley Harrison, the titan destined to clean up after having won a gold medal with a broken hand. A lionheart with physique, power and mentality to clean up a very, very average division. Not McLeish.

Audley Harrison, affraid of his own shadow, who gets soundly beaten by poor and average opposition regularly and is critiscised for wasting his resources and being negative in mind and body. McLeish.

I know sod all about boxing but the first statement  to me is analogous to his time at Rangers and the Scottish Premier and maybe to a certain extent his tenure. as the manager of the Scotland team.

I don't want him to go, at least not right now. I'd just prefer the teams he prepares and picks didn't play like a drain.

I was of that opinion a few weeks ago but too many sins have been repeated for me to think he's anything other than out of his depth.
A nice guy, but the wrong guy.

It is truly the mark of an eternal loser that when the going gets tough, they scuttle back to their comfort zone. And AM has shown more than once that he is all too ready to do that.

He has the same look he had at Blues in the last 6 months, when according to a friend who sits by the directors, Pannu and Yeung were on the phone to the bench and signalling to him to bring on forwards during games and he was refusing and gesturing back from the bench on a regular basis. The man has waded into the deep, without any thought of what to do if the current gets too strong for him to get back to shore. He is lost, and will never find himself at Villa Park. The kindest solution would be a mutual parting of the ways, but I think both sides have too much pride to admit their mistakes, and ultimately we are the ones who are going to suffer, for a long, sustained period of dire agony.

Sadly very true, Randy's stubborn incompetence is going to be our undoing. I can't think of two characteristics that are more of a nightmare as a combination.

The promising signs here and there are no doubt credit to McLeish, but I don't count Arsenal at home as one of those. It was a stupid, stupid give-away.
