How do you feel about Alex McLeish being the next manager?

[TRO]

Alex McCleish quit over transfers. Carson Yeung said to him "Wa yu wan faw playas in suma Awex?" , McLeish replied "6 defenders". Yeung came back with Marlon King. "I said 6 defenders, not sex offenders".

Nice touch, mate!

A life long villa fan and season ticket holder. If Erck is appointed the new manager I will not renew our 3 season tickets until he goes.
I cannot understand how the board can even think that the villa fans would be happy with this appointment. Football is a tribal sport this apointment just cannot work !!!

It is such a bad idea that it makes hollie and maclaren look great appointments.

I'm just in shock if this happens - I don't know what to say other than NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO !!!!!!!!!!!

Is it safe to go to bed now? Can anything bad happen over night whilst we are not looking.....

[KRS]

Cant believe theres actually 42 people who think this is a good idea...surely they must be Baggies fans taking the piss???

[VillaSpen]

Horrendous idea. I'd take Dr. Venglos over him. With John Gregory as his assistant.

I did a bad turd when I heard this

[The Laughing Policeman]

I've had a good hard think about this one, and I think I'd be mildly disappointed.

I thought it was April 1st when I read this story on the Grauniad website.

Appointing McLeish would be a PR disaster of epic proportions by Lerner and Faulkner. In football terms, we would kiss goodbye our top-6 aspirations and would need to be getting used to mid-low table obscurity with regular relegation battles.

Honestly can't believe they would appoint him - It has to be just a coincidence that he's resigned at this time.

[Sir Paul Merson]

does randy and co know how much is riding on this there must be hundreds not renewing their
season tickets at the moment, i for one have my season ticket money ready and waiting to spend but not if it is numpty from over the dark side comes in. i know villa fans saying oh support your team not the manager, but why should i pay to watch us get religated with sodding boring football
 

[darren woolley]

Please nooooooo I really don't wan't him at my club no way it would be madness I think this is crazy if we appoint McLeish.

[eastie]

being reported that randy quizzed karren brady at great length to find out everything he could about mcleish and she was full of praise for him and the job he did under her at blues.

I did a bad turd when I heard this

As the Clash said; 'You really think it's all new, you really think about it it too..'

Fuck off. Now is not the time.

[russon]

All we need now is MON to join Blues and a cup draw against them next season - armageddon I believe it's called

This chest thumping over McLeish is pretty pathetic though. On purely football terms I'd not be overjoyed with him but the fact that he managed BCFC doesn't matter at all. No use singing 'Villa Till I Die' on the Holte if you take flight with tribal posturing when our club selects someone who managed Blues. Get over it.
