Are We Alex McLeish's Claret & Blue Army Now?

[The Laughing Policeman]

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

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

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

Quorn FC and Barwell FC are both members of the Evo Stik Northern Premier League.

If we were ever going to take a manager from Birmingham, I'm happy it was McLeish. He's always seemed to have respect for us, including after the 5-1.

Really? A promotion with a squad worth about twice as much as everyone else's in the league is his only achievement to date. McLeish can match that with a poorer squad and also has a cup win to his name.

I'm not saying he might not be a good manager in time  but there are plenty I'd have before him.

Yes really.  He wasn't doing too bad with Newcastle when they treated him like dirt and sacked him.  With a half decent team with blues he is doing ok and getting some ok results.  I think with better players and slightly better financial backing he would do a very good job.  My mate who is a nose has been singing his praises saying that their brand of football is so much better than when Eck was there.  I think he would have done a better job than eck had he been our manager as well as playing better football.  Im pretty sure it wouldnt have taken him as long to work out the best formation / team to play.

Fellow Fans..................we didn't sign Peter Withe from Blues..............please get the facts before coming on here having a pop.........knowledge is great...........when the facts are correct.....

Please stop putting those annoying gaps between words.

It's hurting my brain.

[Chris Smith]

Rick, he was doing OK at Newcastle but Pardew is doing much, much better. He seems like a nice bloke (and of course Noses are going to make a big fuss, they're trying to wind you up), but I don't see much else to commend him.

Not sure if mentioned, but it seems since the Swansea game there has been a 'protest' organised. The organiser has spent £100 on spray paint for his bed sheet by the sounds of it.

He was an ex Blues player and the narrow minded amongst us were up in arms because if it when he signed. We were also getting stick from the Noses for buying a donkey, journey man centre forward.

Nobody said we did, Dave said he was a former Bluenose. That means he played for Blues at some point before Villa.

Knowledge really is great, isn't it.

[taylorsworkrate]

Newcastle were playing some good stuff under Hughton, and scoring a lot of goals.

I'd have preferred him to Mcleish if i'm being honest.

Pardew is doing better as he signed some good players i.e. Ba and Cabaye.  Pardew wasn't doing that much better when he first took over.
My mate isn't even winding me up.  He's actually saying to me that Villa NEED to get rid of Eck now as it wont get any better.  Most blues fans would be laughing at us and not encouraging us to get rid and to hold on to him.

So we're going to be an even bigger laughing stock in the media for a days after this then. Great!
