Quote from: paul_e on April 21, 2012, 07:58:57 PMI still stand by the belief that no one can possibly turn the statistics above, along with a number of others, into anything resembling a mediocre season let alone a good one. Given that I can't imagine the board aren't thinking either he needs backing to replace young, downing, etc or are thinking they need a new manager.I guess the underlying decision is going to have to be based on how much faith the board have in the squad and youth system. Backing McLeish suggests they think the squad are no better than a relegation fight. Given it's still a very expensively assembled squad I don't see how they can possibly think that.The Board i.e Randy wont do anything in the summer because he is skint?We will get a few freebies and a few bosman`s and mix it with the kidsThat together with Mcleish next season equals disaster - whatever division we shall be inLike a lot pf posters on here, I cannot believe the powers that be drive home after every game watching that and seeing the attendance and thinking "Yes, that Mcleish is definitely the man for us"By the way - does anybody know what happened to that Irish lad we signed in January??

Can anyone get average attendances over the past 20 years?
And I think 4 wins at home and 18 goals scored is exactly what we'll end up on - that's disgraceful.
I have seen us once live this season away from homeI have not travelled once to Villa Park to see usI have probably watched the highlights of our games on MOTD about four or five times this seasonI have not watched us once on Football FirstI have probably watched us about three times live on the televisionI have not bought one scrap of merchandise from the club this season
At the moment the most damning stats are those of the last 6 games;In that time;Wigan have won 4 Bolton have won 3QPR have won 3Blackburn have won 1Aston Villa have won 0We can go through the season stats all we like, and they are appalling, but we need some points now and hope others don't do so well. Judging by these stats we'd be right to be very nervous.

What's your point? If you've lost interest, fair enough. Don't turn apathy into a cause celeb though.
