My first post on here.I've been meaning to get this off my chest for weeks and after last night's shambles now seems to be the right time.
I think the players have been lucky that we have the worst manager in years currently in charge.
I get the feeling that they know that the manager will catch all the flack for shit performances and they get off by appearing in the press with all the usual bollocks such as "We know what we need to do" and phrases on twitter like " 3 points today lads", before either another draw or loss.
I'm Villa for life wherever we end up at the end of the season, the same can't be said for some of our players,I'm sure.
Good first post.

AM is paid to manage the players.  If he can't do it he is not a good manager.

Sky have just wheeled out Dunne and bannan to say they are all behind the manager and we'll stay up.

Hard luck, stay up or not I'm not behind the manager.

The problem with topics like this is, if we blame the players, what is the point of paying a manager £2m a year if he can't do anything to improve us?

It's not Sky that's wheeled them out it's the club isn't it? A club so out of touch that it's resorting to cheap and pointless publicity when a simple statement that McLeech and his puppet had been removed from office with immediate effect would unite the fans behind the club in a heartbeat! Sticking with him now is madder than having appointed him in the first place!
