Banging on about it 'ad nauseam' solves nothing.

He has lost the players,the fans and everyone else.

I wish i could find the words but i am struggling.

Utter disgrace to our proud football club.

Makoun left to make room for a "different" type of midfielder (as McLeish put it)
which basically meant the wages were freed up to complete the shrewd signing of Jermaine Jenas. Makoun is at Olympiakos for the rest of the season and a decision will be made on him apparently in the summer
One of the best passers at the club.
Must have made McLeish sick to the stomach.

The Scot said: "You have to show that you still have the focus, the passion, everything that goes with concentrating on the game itself.

"You get these traumatic times in life and you have to deal with them.

"You move forward and show leadership and get everybody playing to the best of their ability and believing in themselves."


Focus on being crap, passion about being average, and moving forward to relegation and believing your a good manager. Talks the talk but not the walking the walk. Utter garbage laughing his way to the bank.

He's not going to get me renewing my three chipped Villa mugs at the online shop with that sort of talk. NO.FUCKING.WAY.

Lets hope he knows what he's talking about, because if he doesn't then when we are languishing in the Championship next season and he's well out of it, its the fans and the financial shape of the club that will suffer most.

All looks a bit desperate to me, wasn't it only a few short weeks ago he was saying there was no chance of us getting relegated and there was great unity in the squad and everyone was pulling together.

I must admit, i'm not too sure about the 'We're only three points off West Brom' comment. Even being on 36 points would'nt be good enough.

"McLeish confident of avoiding the drop"

I advocate dismissal - not the hangman's noose.

Worse than that, trying to say being only 3 points from West Brom is a good thing FFS?! They are in the shit too, and we should be 5-6 points above them you pillock!!

We should never be hearing those words in the first place. What has happened to us? Why did I come on to this thread? I should have stayed on the one with the Sheff Wed clip. Fuckin hell.
