Sack the Manager?

[WikiVilla]

Next to go

Kean 7/4
Houllier 4/1
Martinez 9/2

[Risso]

I think you're in danger of over-exaggerating the effect of the fans at the moment.  I work with a load of scousers, and they're laughing at us because of our predicament in the table, and that our manager is such a train wreck, nothing else.

That's because, as yet, we haven't had a load of numpties parading around in front of the cameras shouting for the manager's head and, by association, making Villa fans look like twats.

It's small-time, it's embarrassing and if it was Newcastle, Boggies, Small Heath or anyone else we'd be pissing ourselves at how pathetic it looks.
You thinking of joining in seeing as how you think it's such a good idea?

Wooah.  Isn't that what Mad John Mooney called a strawman argument?  Just because I think we've got a bit more to worry about than a few misguided fans pretending that they're going to protest, doesn't mean that I think it's a good idea.  Anyway, there's probably about as much chance of me being at Newcastle as there is you!

At the end of the day, if we get relegated, that will be the story of the season, not a five minute obssession with a few daft fans.  Can you imagine the humiliation if we go down and Blues stay up, when we're playing Huddersfield and they're at home to Inter or somebody?

[Dave Cooper please]

Yes, sorry Risso, bit below the belt, apologies.
I will very possibly be at the Newcastle game though, I've done more Villa games this season than for many a year. I've yet to see us lose as well.

Right, whose going to organise the whip-round to get DC to every game between now and the end of the season?!

What's the win: draw ratio, Dave?

[Billy Walker]

Yes, sorry Risso, bit below the belt, apologies.

We need you Dave.  We need you!

Make sure you attend every home game until the end of the season, then.

Completely disagree. If Liverpool or Man U were in our position their supporters would be doing exactly the same.

To my eyes it's the opposite  of small time or pathetic it shows that Villa supporters have some spirit. They're not prepared to take any more of this crap and they're not going to sit back and relax. Rightly so..

So, every time we have a few months where things don't go right we should be demonstrating. That'll work wonders for our image.   

[KevinGage]

Perhaps not every few months, no.

But 1 point above the drop zone (3 off the bottom) going into April?

I can see why some might find that unacceptable, yes.

[The Moose]

It's more than just a few month's worth of bad results though. It's the attitude of the manager which has alienated a lot of fans who were prepared to see what he could do.
The final straw for me was the admission that we couldn't compete with the likes of Man City. Who else doesn't he think we can compete against? Let us know, and at least we save a bit of cash by not bothering to go to those games!

Get rid!

Yes it is unacceptable, but there's a time and place for everything, and this is neither. I also think that to go into full-on revolutionary mode at the first mishap is a bit daft. What happens if Houllier goes and we don't win the next couple of games - do we unveil the Nextone Out banners?

[The Moose]

It's not the first mishap: when he was approached, we had to wait while he faffed about with the french FA; then the Liverpool love-in; then Citeh.
Ally this to all the incomprehensible team selections, and it's a whole bloody catalogue of "mishaps"!

Eight wins, one draw (the Man Utd home 2-2).

In a particularly shit season you have to say that's bloody good going innit?

[Legion]

Get your a**e down to VP right now.

refer you to Legion's post in Who do you want? about 10 minutes ago.  The blog linky thing.
