McLeish confident of avoiding the drop

[paul_e]

The thing that really annoys me about this is him saying that he expected us to be in the relegation fight.  We're in a similar position to blues last year and at the start of the season he made a big deal about how much better our squad was than the one they had.  I'm absolutely certain that he's lost the plot and is doing everything he can to try protect his job.

He has completely, and his every utterance at the moment is to cover his own backside.

No matter what he says he is wrong. It is a feeding frenzy.

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.

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!!

He hasn't got a fucking clue, he needs to go.

If you want us to stay up, give the manager your support.

Our support or lack of for the manager has nothing to do with us staying up.

[PeterWithe]

Yup, I'll give my vocal backing to the team during games, the manager should be tolerated until we are safe, Then he should be be horsewhipped out the back door.

Until we start winning some games that is going to be the way of it i'm afraid. It's also one of the many reasons why he should not have been appointed in the first place.

Rubbish. Sack this useless buffoon and the fans will unite. It's so bloody obvious.

The first 7 words of your post says it all.

[villasjf]

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.

Unfortunately Randy has blind faith in him and Faulkner.

Not sure how backing a shockingly bad manager is going to keep us up.  If we back him will he suddenly find some ability and some balls from somewhere?

[Legion]

He will find a few in our net on Saturday.

I didn't read it as him trying to defend his position, he's still turning a blind eye to any responsibility for this cataclysmic mess we're in. He deflects the blame and attention on to the players with every breath he takes! The more he talks, the more he proves that's he'a not just a poor manager, completely out of his depth in the Premier League, he's also a spineless coward.
