But as they say, the table never lies

I honestly think that season under McLeish pushes the relegation season for the most abject, we got more points but to take what was still a big part of a top 6 squad and park the bus home and away for an entire season was fucking horrible. He might have been a nice guy but he's the worst manager we've appointed in the last 30 odd years that I've been following the game, I can't think of a single thing that he did that was good for us. It was so fucking abject that we begged for Lambert.
Along with thinking the manager of Shrewsbury is better than your current European Cup winning manager it remains the dumbest thing i've known Villa do in my 40+ years.

It was one of those "nah, it can't be" moments. Yet I can only imagine had the internet existed in 1984 that it would have been a thousand times worse with the arrival of Turner.
I’ll also never forget Krulak’s “Imagine how great he’ll be with Randy’s backing!!”
This is where McLeish started being mentioned more and more http://www.heroesandvillains.info/forumv3/index.php?topic=43650.5430And when he resigned at the sty http://www.heroesandvillains.info/forumv3/index.php?topic=43650.5505
His favoured 10-0-0 formation is going to go down an absolute storm. I still don't believe they'd be that stupid, but if they were, then really, they deserve all they get.
So, two weeks ago, all the talk of Ancelotti and Benitez and co.Now, we're looking at McLeish, having been turned down by Wigan's manager?That's a bit like trying to shag Megan Fox but ending up in bed with Sonia from Eastenders.
