McLeish out Chants / banners / protests

[Rigadon]

I'd never sing a song about somebody getting the sack.  It's just a bit distasteful.  If there's no stark improvement over the next month he does deserve to go though.  It's been woeful on the whole and we can't sack the team.

[villadelph]

Whatever it takes, just get McLeish out.

I personally don't want to see/hear the McLeish out banners and chanting during the game.
God knows there are enough players not giving their all at the moment without them hiding behind the enevitable " he's lost the dressing room" excuse.
Time to back the boys on the pitch, RL already has the fans message with the dwindling gate money.

He needs to go, I'm not sure I could bring myself to boo at a game. I'm not a season ticket holder so don't and can't afford to put up with the shit soup that is served up every week.

I can completely understand others booing or whatever else. A lot of fans said they didn't want him, a lot gave him some time and it seems a lot can't see any improvement.

Get him out.

[Legion]

He looked and sounded a broken man against Liverpool. I feel sorry for him. He is clearly out of his depth.

[markeeeebeeee2005]

I don't dislike him, and also feel sorry for him. He's just not up to it.

I've said before I felt sad for him watching him weeping when he took Blues down.

It's just there's nothing to believe in these days, is there? When MON first came in there was a buzz around the Villa. Oh, how do I miss that feeling? Even when we lost a few games in a row, you just believed we were heading in the right direction. I could accept the current league position, results...  IF we had a plan, a manager we could trust in, but right now all hope has left the building ... I'll be watching tomorrow - because it's my drug - but I'm not looking forward to the game itself. And when fans can't be excited to turn up, then there's something wrong. And that's what happened now.

Unless we get totally humilated and that would be a 4-0 or 5-1 job, then I think it will be the same as against Liverpool, boos at the end but not too much more than that.

The potentially toxic game for McLeish will be Swansea at home as I expect to lose at Stoke and Chelsea and things will get nasty if we don't beat Swansea at home.

[Dave Clark Five]

KT and Ozzjim.
It would be hypocritical for me to say that anyone should blindly support the team as I am usually one of the first to complain and often want managers sacked after half a season. On this occasion, I just want to give McLeish more time as I despise player power especially with the wages they are on. Regarding Blackburn, perhaps their fans have a point. It just seemed to me that, whatever the team did, they would want the manager out, which I find ridiculous. My gut feeling will tell me when a managerial change is necessary at Villa Park. Maybe I am just being cantankerous but there are plenty who have never given McLeish a chance. He has never had his name chanted by our fans in a favourable way. That is sad.
I hope we can pull this round but it will need money spending on the team and it is unfair on all of us if that doesn't happen. Years of paying to watch the team and buying merchandise etc should be rewarded. One concern I have is the future generations of Villa fans. Those that stick with us will be as cynical as the rest of us well before their time. No, I am not enjoying it this season, but ganging up on McLeish will solve nothing. Lerner knows we are unhappy and, if he decides to keep his manager, he cannot let him be fed to the wolves. Give us some exciting signings and bring a few smiles back to Villa Park.

He might walk.

We can then look forward to the board appoint Barry Fry.

He has totally lost it. The situation with the board and the loss of key players hasn't helped, but he can't motivate the players and some of his tactics are just bizarre. I want him to turn it around, but I don't think he has it in him and clearly, a significant number of fans are determined to make life as difficult for him as they can.

[Clampy]

I like the bloke, i always have done and i suspect the players do as well, but he's done himself no favours with the football he's got us playing. Throw in his track record and where he came from (which should'nt matter) and you have an appointment that should'nt have been made and it's beginning to tell, which is a shame for everyone concerned.

[TonyD]

The best we can hope from AM is to just about keep us up.

Nice guy an all that but he is never going to get us playing decent football. let alone challenge for anything.  So let's hope RL smells the coffee and gets rid.  If he doesn't then he deserves to be hounded out with no mercy.

[steamer]

I did not want him and not because of his bluenose connections, but because it was a disaster waiting to happen and we all knew it would end in tears.
It meant a couple more years of, consolidate, experiment and try again.
I am getting older and it is probably my fate to be kept in this endless cycle.
Lerner has to back him and this means he will buy players in Jan, I guess that if they are in the mould of some of the names mentioned, Gibson, etc then it will be like dejavu for Potatoe face at Sunderland.
We survive and he gets another chance next season, halfway through the season the inevitable happens, he leaves and we start again.
As others have said, he seems a genuine guy and I find it hard to have any anger against him unlike my feelings for O,Dreary and for Ellis.
I think that most fans have cut him some slack on the same rationale as me.
Such is the lot of a Villa fan.

Not sure about out of his depth, i think some of the players are. Oh for a midfield now of Milner Barry Ash and Downing. It's the board that let them go for whatever reason, not the manager.
