If Everton get knocked out by Tamworth, let's get Tamworth's gaffer in.

Just think if Everton do get knocked out of the cup by Tamworth then maybe Moyes will get the boot and then he will become available........hmmmmmm interesting thought eh fellow Villa Fans.

Yeah I can just see the report: "... and so when Everton were knocked out by Tamworth Villa seized upon the chance to swap the manager who had relegated their arch rivals for the manager who had seen his premier league team knocked out of the cup by a non-league side."  Genius!

You should be on the stage N'ot3badbia - it's not funny.................

Now you're not just speaking for all Villa supporters now, you're speaking for every Villa supporter since 1874.

Never been relegated in his managerial career and has took both Barwell and Quorn to Midland Alliance glory.

I see it like this.

By hating him, wanting him sacked and wanting him to fail, I would be sharing the views and wishes of our less fortunate cousins from Small Heath. Now who in their right mind would want that?

I think you'll find that most people on here are Villa fans i.e. people who want Villa to win regardless of their manager. As opposed to you who would quite obviously be happy for Villa to lose if it achieved your objective of McLeish leaving. If you want to play the rather pathetic 'better fan than you' game, perhaps try to factor that one in.

And of all the many things McLeish could reasonably be criticised for, it's interesting that you keep going back to the fact he managed Birmingham. Because let's be honest, that was your problem from the start wasn't it? Even if he had taken us to the top of the league, playing Barcelona-esque football, it would still have been your problem.

Thank goodness the internet didn't exist back in the late 70's and 80's. Can you imagine dazzy's reaction to us signing that fucking former dirty bluenose Peter Withe? He'll never do anything for us.

There's a team called Quorn? Or is it Barwell and Quorn?

I think your answer is in the word 'both'.

*rubs eyes*

that's a fairly valid point, Lee, I will concede that.
