The majority of Villa fans idly accepting the appointment of McLeish.
I've posted this before. Losing a pre-season friendly away to Bedford with a full strength team. Fucking Bedford! I'm of the opinion that that was when we bottomed out and it slowly, gradually and was actually the catalyst that ended in Rotterdam.I was also there for that cup game against West Ham in 1980. Thoroughly depressing result made even worse by sitting among their racist fans, and that was just the women, seriously.

It was the closest thing to me when my mate informed me of the news. I was at work in Shanghai, and at first thought he was joking.That night after numerous joints, it dawned on me that we were about to become hopeless. And so it proved.
- The recentish FA Cup finals. The first for not giving it a go, and the second for being absolutely humiliated.- The ten minutes of Fergie time when Bruce scored twice- Chucking away the battle for 4th spot with Arsenal under Pubehead. The 2-2 draw with Stoke and signing Emile Heskey being symptomatic.- Apparently agreeing a fee for Les Ferdinand and him then choosing Newcastle- Stan Collymore not being the fabled "missing piece of the jigsaw after all".- Sir Brian Little's final season as manager.

Randy was scoring petty points and showing us 'who's boss'. Can you name similar 'dodgy' appointments of a relegated rivals Manager?

Still really don't see what more the fans should've done around that time. Yes protests could've continued into the season but it made sense to at least give him a chance.
