Protest?

[philthebar]

Ok, here is my take, it could be posted in any one of the numerous threads.

It is the Board’s decision as to who gets the job as manager.  I will support that person, whoever it may be, and make my judgement based upon results only.

That's it lads, stick it to the man.  It's just like Egypt all over again.  Bloody leaders eh!

Shame we're not Dundee United, they could call it the Arab summer.

It will be known as the 'Aston Spring'.

Either a few thousand of you do it, or you shouldn't do it at all. In other words, you shouldn't do it at all.

Well, bollocks to all of you; I'm going to protest against the protest.
Anyone with me?

Count me in.
I'm ready to administer a John Prescott left hook.

Just seen sky live at bodymoor and graffiti daubed all around the entrance- villa staff out with Turps trying to clean up- what an embarrassment !

Protest? What's the point? It won't change anything. If he gets the job then so be it.

I agree.

I agree, it's uncalled for, but i understand the anger behind it, it's an embarrassing appointment and an totally unneccassary one.

Can we change the thread title to 'Drama Queens of the World - Unite!'.

Tossers.

Tossers are people who go on message boards and insult other fans by calling them tossers for exercising their democratic right to protest.

Unbelievable.   

agreed 100%.

McLeish will almost certainly be a disastrous appointment for AVFC, I applaud those who protest.

People are too willing in society generally to tolerate bad decisions from those in authority. Enough here are willing to kiss Randy Lerner's arse and those of his yes men. They might have made many good decisions in charge of Villa but the last management choice wasnt one and Alex Mcleish will be an awful one. Buying Stephen Ireland without a manager and above all else managing a club where 80+% of club turnover was going on staff wages were other really bad efforts. It is the responsibility of supporters to criticise and praise when due. Not turn a blind eye, when the board are on the verge of making a catastrophic appointment for the biggest job in the club.

Also, what does anyone care what the 'london' media think? Repeatedly on the site posters refer to the london media downing the club. Now they seem to be running scared about what Oliver Holt might write tomorrow. Now that is truly small time behaviour.

people have a democratic right to stand up for what is wrong. Appointing Alex McLeish is wrong on every level.

Villa is not a democracy.  Randy Lerner has absolute power to make whatever damn fool decision he wants.  As his customer (I assume you are) you have the democratic right to take your money elsewhere, but thats about where your democratic rights as a Villa fan end.

They want to get some Nitromoors, that will shift it.

I thought this thread was about the right of Villa supporters to protest. Legitimate protest is a democratic right.

Yes Lerner owns the club but thousands of fans outside Villa Park protesting against the appointment of Mcleish may change his mind. Steve McClaren by all accounts wasnt considered because of supporter opposition remember.

I hope they've taken out a full risk assessment and are wearing gloves and eye protection.

I think you might just be confusing the concept of democratic rights with what you as a customer would prefer to happen. The only right you or anyone else has in these circumstances is to accept the situation or not. If you choose not to, that is your right.

I wonder what someone in Syria would make of your comments right now.

Red sauce or brown sauce daubed on the walls at Bodymoor Heath?

Whoever it was is not a true Villa fan!
