Poll: Are you going to give Alex McLeish a chance to prove himself?

[not3bad]

Welcome to the Villa, Alex.

Hope you enjoyed your honeymoon period.

If you're not sure what a honeymoon period is ask Randy.  His was fantastic.  Nothing lasts forever though.

87.3% is a good indication that Villa fans are fair minded and level headed, despite how we have been portrayed in the media of late.

I'm going to stamp on the glowing embers of Dave Coopers clothes I'm that angry. I don't believe that he's done anything to entitle him to a crack at managing my club but if he earns my respect he'll, fucking begrudgingly, get it.

[Archbishop Herbert Cockthrottle]

Am I the only one genuinely excited by this new regime at Villa Park?

Unleash the McCleish.

Bring on the Ginger Ninja.

Crack out the Mac.

Is that the same 87% on the earlier poll who didnt want him???

[andyh]

Lets just wait and see.
Trouble is, he has no credit in the bank so the presure is on him to deliver and quickly.
The next poll will probably be on when the first banner goes up.

[UsualSuspect]

Give him a chance!  All this discontent is hardly his fault. It counts in his favour that he's ambitious enough to come and is by all accounts a decent man-manager.

A decent man manager??? How do you work that one out???

was that reflected in the Blues side who he took down twice???

Can we take it you aren't going to give him a chance?

I back this statement.

If he was a total hand job he would have packed it all in after seeing what he was up against.

There's a huge difference between not wanting him and not giving him a chance now he's here.

I am, but I was afraid of the reaction I would get! I think he'll do well tbh

not 2 days ago everyone was set against this and now on radio and on here everyone is happy i for one am not and people who have posted on this topic are happy and glad should maybe read there previous post before he was given the job yes i will support the club i love but no i wont be backing him or singing his name win lose or draw VTID

[Eigentor]

There may be a difference between rhetorics and reality on this issue. Even if people state that they'll give him time and a clean slate, a few of us will jump at the earliest opportunity to criticise his tactics, team selections and signings -- especially if results and performances are less than brilliant.

I was against the idea of him coming. But reality has kicked in, he's now the manager of AVFC and he gets my 100% support.

[manic-road]

100% Backing from me. All that matters is that the manager and team get the full support of the fans.
As soon as the fans turn against him, which may not be long into his time as manager, the players will feel under further pressure and probably not perform as well.
