[Legion]

Available Tuesday night.

Boooooooooo

[kippaxvilla2]

I haven't felt much less depressed to be a Villa fan.  I have to say.  1987 a possible exception.

[kippaxvilla2]

On the radio it literally sounded as if we created absolutely nothing.

[The Left Side]

It sounds like no one is there!

[Rudy Can't Fail]

Let the Games begin.

[PaulWinch again]

Absolutely bloody horrendous by the sounds of it. The board have completely ruined us as a club, cutting back in this fashion is suicidal. There is no leadership from the top and we are in massive massive trouble. Joke.

[JJ-AV]

Would like McLeish to be sacked.

[TaxDodger]

Que sera, sera..

[PaulWinch again]

Would like McLeish to be sacked.

The manager is not the main problem. The board cannot expect people to go and watch Villa, they show no commitment or ambition, why should fans shell out money for that.

[Goldie.7]

Put it this way all my bets didn't have villa to win!

[kippaxvilla2]

People will point to it being one game and not to get carried away etc, but tonight is simply a microchosm of what we can expect under Alex McLeish, dour, defensive, clueless shit.  Only he could turn a 20 goal a season banker striker into someone who looks as if he has never played before.

[Rigadon]

Didn't sound great did it?  Will reserve judgement til those that went down tonight give a verdict. 

What's even more depressing than going out this early is that there will now be some kind of "McLeish Out" thing happening all on the basis of one defeat.  It will be stoked up by the tabloid press and radio.

Some moron starting a thread calling for AM to get the boot after one defeat.  One.  People on the match thread calling both the owner and the manager a '******' or a bluenose.  Pathetic.

[Irish villain]

Would like McLeish to be sacked.

Why can so many fans not see the wood for the trees?! McLeish is not the problem. The clowns who appointed him and gave him less than a third of the money raised from sales are the ones to blame.

Plus, they fucking knew he'd be under the cosh because he came from blues so the air of cirsis would permeate the club if he ran into some bad results with the wafer thin squad they have given him. Another mighty fine mess Mr. Lerner and Mr. Faulkner. Well done.

[Apyadg]

Would like McLeish to be sacked.

Unless Lerner will fuck off with him, it's not going to achieve much, they'll just bring in some other shit manager who's happy to manage a club on the cheap because Villa's a step up for them.
