This appointment is such a kick in the teeth. No longer are we a club looking to grow. Staying in the league is now our target. Our best players will leave and horrible shite will replace them, just look at the crap he has bought. I hear people saying he will make us harder to beat but how many times has his teams been relegated and not just in this league. He'll be gone in 12 months and we'll be paying more compo out. The first thing he does will negotiate a nice price for Ashley to taggert after he got him the job. It hurts because I know, you know we can do better than this.

The choice has been made so it's time to stop whinging and give the guy a chance- I think he will do a good job here and look forward to a productive transfer Market - he is our manager, this is our club so lets unite and get behind the club and manager.

If it all goes wrong you will all then get your chance to say 'I told you so'., but I really believe eck will do a very good job for us.
eastie is now Chris Smith Redux.

SAFshould keep his nose out of Villas business, yes we do have some good players, the best of them you are just about to take of us you old prick. He says look at his CV well we have and its shit. He has patronised us a few times over the years.

More fool us for listening to him. Anybody who knows anything about English football would know about old exploded sausage nose's mind games. Like CJ, he didn't get to where he is now by helping his 'rivals' - not that we're ever realistically going to challenge them (well, we certainly won't be now we know what our board's intentions are). Staggering naivety from our board, shame on them. In fact, shame on them for the abjectly inept way they've gone about this whole process, from start to finish, as outlined in django's fine post. Shame on them.

Well that's it then. It's official. I bet he can't believe his luck that this job has landed in his lap after what he's 'achieved' in the Premier League so far.

I'm fucking fuming right now.

"The 52-year-old son of a Govan shipyard worker, McLeish began his managerial career in 1994 at Motherwell whom he guided in his first season to second place behind Rangers, then in the midst of their nine-in-a-row Scottish titles.

Following a three-year spell in charge of Hibernian, which included a Scottish Cup final appearance, he took over at Rangers where he unseated Martin O'Neill's then dominant Celtic team by winning the Scottish Cup and League Cup in his first season in 2001-02 and the Treble - including the Scottish Premier League title - in his second.

He won two championships and seven trophies in total in his five years at Ibrox before succeeding Walter Smith as Scotland boss in 2007.

Only a 2-1 win by Italy at Hampden Park in the final qualifying game prevented McLeish from leading his country to the Euro 2008 finals.

He pursued his ambition to manage in the Barclays Premier League and led Birmingham City to their highest top-flight finish in 51 years in 2009-10.

When his team beat Arsenal to win the Carling Cup four months ago at Wembley he became one of the only current managers in the Barclays Premier League who has won a major piece of silverware."

Reads like a typical American/Hollywood version of history...we'll just change it to suit us and our propaganda machine...

I asked a Hibs-supporting friend for his view on McLeish. He was very positive and says that "the main problem we had with McLeish was the fact he went to Rangers..."

He pointed me towards some evidence of a McLeish team playing attractive football



If McLeish can win every game 6-2, he'll soon win the fans over. Hope springs eternal...
