He came in for some real criticism from all of us last season, some of it quite unjustified. He was doing his best under trying circumstances. He'll land on his feet somewhere I'm sure, and will be better for this experience. He never had a bad word to say about us. Thanks for your efforts Gary. Good luck wherever you end up.

That's from me as well.  Good luck and thank you.

Me too. Always liked him in his playing days, and did a very reasonable job under incredibly trying circumstances. Good luck to him wherever he goes.

I would though Alex would keep his fellow Scotsman in the job.

Please let's not gloss over this - he is like Houllier, an abject failure at Villa. Never forget that a Top 6 team was turned into Relegation Fodder for 90% of the season by these pair of clueless clowns.

I will never forget his bullshit 'explanation' for the Cit-eh selection 'we wanted to use pace against them'.

I wish him no ill but won't be following his 'career' with any close inspection

A lot of revisionism going on here.  McAllister was a waste of space.  The fact that we won the last two games of the season is, in my mind, no different to a stopped clock showing the right twice a day.

I don't know whether he was good or not if I'm honest. How could I? He got blamed for a lot in terms of spirit in the squad, but perhaps he was just trying to be Gerard's 'enforcer' when a number of our senior pros were acting like dickheads, it's quite plausible.

Either way he said some nice things about us so I like him now. Good luck Gary.

It didn't work out at all, but I don't suppose it was for a lack of effort.  Not sad to see him move on, but wish him all the best all the same.
