Has no one seen the shit GK has posted on Facebook?

"Richard, you know I am not going to tell you anything. I will say that the uproar over McLeish is absolutely uncalled for....he certainly has proved he can manage in the big leagues...just imagine what he could do if he was with an owner who supported him."

"First off, NO ONE is confirming a rumor...I am just stating a belief. You all cling to the fact that he has seen his lads relegated twice...well, the first time he was not with the Club long enough to make much of a difference. Secondly, ...look at the owners he has worked for and their support of him monetarily. Then look at Randy and what he provides to his Managers. Third, look at his record with other Clubs...as a Manager and player. Check with Sir Alex and ask him about the man...you will get an entirely different sense. All I am saying is that the fact that he managed BCFC should not be the driving factor. Those fans who X the man out because he managed our biggest rival just seem to miss the point. YES, Randy and the Board understand the feeliings of the Fans...we are neither deaf nor blind. At the same time, whether it would be this man or any other, we need to do what we think is right for the Club. NO action is taken without HUGE input from many knowledgeable people. Honest to goodness, if a single man can cause all the fans to abandon ship, that is a sad state of affairs. What you are basically saying is, "Randy, let us pick the Manager...we know more than you, those who are advising you, those who are in the game and know the individuals, those who make a living recommending managers and players, etc. etc" Sorry, that just doesn't seem right to me. Again, I am not confirming the rumor...just simply stating my feelings...as a FAN!!!!!!!!"

If that is Krulak, then it is as close to confirming it as you will get.

I've never read the General refer to being on Facebook, he's normally far more discreet than that.

I reckon a wind up.

Not hard to read between the lines in that post.

Sadly, I think that McLeish is going to be our next manager.

The General pretty much confirms that we're at the least considering it. Still not sure if we'll see him make the move, but it's a strong possibility - like it or not.

Having read between the lines from all news sources I think the next manager of Villa will be Dusty Bin.

He doesn't say that, he says the experienced professionals they have advising Randy know more than the fans.

He's probably right.

Jesus wept. And he thinks we are missing the point. Oh, and by the way, we do know more than you. Quite a lot more. In fact, bloody shedloads more. 'Look at his record with other clubs'.....how naive a comment is that?
