May be a bit of humour would be a better form of protest in these dark times...

"We're so shit its unbelievable"

"We're going down with the Bue Scum, down with the Blue Scum"

"Theres only one Aston Villa, one Aston Villa, we used to be good, but now we're shit, walking in a Villa wonderland"

"Championship, Championship...we're all pissed up and going to the Championship"

Assuming we have another negative line up, piss poor tactics, no heart and Emile Heskey against Arsenal with the all too bleeding predictable loss as well as played off the park.

Is it time yet to take some action against the manager and regretably the board who inconcievably chose him?

Already small pockets of anti AM songs have started  - how long before this grows and grows to a point where RL has to at the very least come out and do / say something

Its like watching our club go through a painful death at the moment.

Is it time to make our opinions count?

I don't think Mr. Lerner will listen to the fans even if we did boo or chant against AM. Again mirroring a similar post in another thread he has endured plenty of protests and  on line petitions for him to go from the Cleveland Brown fans which he has ignored and continued on his own merry way. He is going to give AM at least 2 seasons IMO and back him because he believes he is the right man to deliver his plan for the Villa.

I am concerned about the performances and results along with everyone else but I'm also concerned with how we are perceived by the media and other fans. Most journalists and keen football fans over 25 would probably remember we weren't keen on John Gregory despite doing reasonably well, we turned on Sir Graham, hated O'Leary (although I think they would let us have that one), moaned about MON despite doing well under him, moaned about GH pretty much from the start and raged about AM even before the start. Now we are throwing major tantrums when we are in a mid table position. We all knew December would be tough. I think we are starting to look silly and should try and hold our collective nerve a bit better.
sums up my views. plenty wanting mon out round by me, houllier too. i agreed with the dol sacking as he had 3 years, but alot of vitriol was thrown at taylor mk11 without people having a look at the situation and using their noggin first.
i dont think the football is great, i aint looking forward to games but we still need to back the team during the game!

If being 10th in the league is enough for some then obviously, for those people, everything is hunky dory.
However, the league position does not even begin to tell the story.
If we are still 10th after the Swansea game then yes, we will have to admit that things are not as bad as we make out.
I don't think we'll be 10th after Swansea.

As for McLeish, please don't feel sorry for him.
He is in a job that is far too big for him, but he wanted it.
He's picking up his huge wedge, and whenever he goes, which is inevitable, he will get a fucking big payoff, take some 'down time' and then rack up at some other club daft enough to give him a job.
And after that has happened, he won't give a flying fuck about whatever legacy he has left at the club, be it good or bad.
So please, don' feel sorry for him, he doesn't need it.

Yes, I don't want McCleish, but protests, banners and singing during the game will just drain any confidence the lads have left. Sing our hearts out FOR THE VILLA, and something good MIGHT just happen.

Thought the Holte was in good voice at the start of the game on Sunday.
But going 2 down, predictably from set pieces, inside 15 minutes and playing as woefully as we did throughout the rest of the game is not going to inspire singing our hearts out.
I'd like to see some of the players playing their hearts out for their measly 30/40+ K a week and giving us something to sing about!
(That is unless they've got some last minute Christmas shopping to do!)

If you're booing tomorrow or protesting even, make it loud chaps. It'll take some hearing to be heard in America

If that's a reference to the owner's whereabouts, he's over here.

I really cannot understand why owners who were so dead set on popularity as well as having good intentions at the start have got the PR and important appointments so catastrophically wrong in the last couple of years.  If you were highlighting a case study as an Insolvency Practitioner as a way to appallingly manage a business model you would go some way to beating ours.
