Who Should be Aston Villa Manager ? Now with new, revised poll

[Risso]

I was feeling pretty shit from the moment on Sat night we had wind of the McCleish story ( I should have known better )   until I got a call around 10.50 pm last night and now things are looking a lot lot  better .  General Krulack wasn't in the Marines for nothing  an expert on divertionary tactics which are coming in handy at the moment as our lads sit in the trenches waiting for the call to go over the top  .
.

It is worrying that Eck could be an option though.

Would much prefer a Poyet, Grayson, Coyle all look decent options.

He was never an option he wants the job but we don't want him !

Oh really.

McCliesh not considered but they aint going to slag the bloke off either .  I am not going to post who I think we are in for because it is not definate and I am not going to cock things up either by speculating when it could be very close .

Oh really.

Villa will not deny it because every time a new speculation comes up it would mean them having to deny it which means when they don't then deny it  then it implies there is something in it . They do not want to say anything until it's in the bag .

 But It will not be McCleish !

Oh really.

It will not be McCleish !

Oh really.

Oh no! not Oh Really!

I can tell you now what McLeish's first statement to the Villa fans is going to be "all I ask is that you judge me on my results"

To which the reply thunders back from the Villa fans "we have done - fuck off".

[Cjamesk]

He went 10 games without winning at fucking Rangers for fuck sake !

He is beyond useless

I believe he was in charge when Hibs were relegated too.

This really is like a really surreal dream isn't it.

Whilst some of us are going way too far with our condemnation of McLeish, it is astounding how the people at Villa have found him to be the outstanding candidate!

We keep hearing from statements from The General and Paul Faulkner (who is looking increasingly inept in every dealing) that Mr Lerner has spoken to 'advisors', who are these bloody advisors that have steered him the way to McLeish?!  It defies belief, why can't we have these 'advisors' outed!

I would say that this is a key season for villa as a club, a chance to re-establish ourselves as a realistic Top 6 side, as has been our status over the past 30-years largely. With this appointment we have shown in all probability that we are settling for mediocrity this term. Yes, we know the wage bill needs to be reduced, yes, we know that we probably spent most of this summers transfer budget in January to avert disaster, but I think most of us would have been content with spending the proceeds of the Young sale and anything else that we gained from sales (hopefully not Downing!).  Alex Mcleish's answer when given £7mill for a striker is Nikolai Zigic! Does that not just sum things up!

I actually think that McLeish did a pretty steady job at Hibs, Rangers and Scotland, but his work at the sty could not be classed as anything other than mediocre by even his most ardent admirer (Ron Toss)

So what can we expect at Villa under 'Big Eck' (what a fucking stupid nickname that is by the way!), well Young & Downing to leave, and probably someone big up top like Crouch, horrible in midfield, maybe Joey Barton and more of Collins and Dunne, best case scenario. Back that up with average, run of the mill journeymen pros, like Seb Larsson, Karl Henry, Steed Malbranque, Mark Noble, and Kenwyne Jones and you have the profile for McLeish. I really don't know if I could tolerate that.

I want to give the guy a chance, I really do, I want to be able to distance myself from the criticism, I really do, but it is bloody hard isn't it

[eastie]

in fairness mm did apologise for that earlier today.

[Darth Villa]

Urgh, I'd had a pretty good day uptill now.... I feel sick.

I hate being melodramatic but this really is fucking insane, ape shit insane. He's shite. I can't honestly think of one positive. Please Randy have a chat with Hughes!

[gervilla]

I wasn't sorry to see the back of O'Neill.
I wasn't sorry to see the back of Houllier.
Well I'm sorry now.

Or, Remember the closing sequences of the film Braveheart, remember William Wallace was just about to lose his noddle, remember what he cried out in the last few moments of his existance, take yours now.......perlease.

[Legion]

Apologise for what? For being wrong and about as much 'ITK' as the rest of us?

[john2710]

I'm clinging to the hope that this is some sort of nightmare that I'm going to awake from soon and breath a huge sigh of relief that it was all just a very, very bad dream but slowly its starting to dawn on me that for some unknown reason this is going to happen.

I've supported this club all my life, had some of the best days of my life at VP and for the first time ever I'm seriously contemplating if I can justify continuing that support. Whoever at VP is pursuing this insane strategy should be aware that this has the potential to rip the heart out of our club and in a single action undo every advance we have made in the past 5 years. Fucking unbelievable!

[NottingVilla]

One good thing to come out of this, MM and the other ITK's exposed as the no-nothing attention seekers they undoubtedly are.

Absolootly!
A McLeish

In other words he knows fuck all, yet craves the attention he gets from the ex-Villatalk kiddies who hang on his every word?  I trust you won't be putting any more bets on based on his recommendations eastie.
