To clarify, this is copied from a link on twitter and is in absolutely no way anything to do with me.  (even hubby had a fit when he saw it, thinking I'd gone mad).


We have played 24 games this season, we have won 6! Is this good enough? No. This is relegation form.

Alex McLeish is not the man to lead Aston Villa. He had a full pre-season, was given £20m (approx) to spend and has players of the calibre of Darren Bent, Gabby Agbonlahor and Stephen Ireland to work with (also the most promising batch of home-grown players produced in years). Despite all this we find ourselves 13th in the table and without a home win since Bonfire Night.

Now after the débâcle of Sunday with the players now seeming to be in open revolt, the future is looking very bleak indeed.

We need to act now before it is too late and the unthinkable happens.

If you support this, please join us 3pm on Sunday, Trinity road Stand by the McGregor Statue. If you don’t then please ignore this.

UP THE VILLA

The downside to the freedom provided by the internet is that every crackpot has a platform.

Oops, sorry. 

I'm still in the 'all things positive' camp.

Paul Franks, sorry 'Franksy', mentioned this protest on his show earlier in between taking all the Wolves calls. It's another stupid attempt at a protest. It was'nt a very good program either.

The more I hear of twitter, the more I loathe it. Looking forward to seeing this idiotic protest.

I agree with the first line although that form is better the relegation form (just)

But why mention Ireland and Bent as reasons to sack him when we have had 9 goals from Bent and Ireland has only recently come good under the manager they want rid off. And of course no mention of the defence at all in any of the moan.

In some ways I applaud people protesting, I doubt that they represent the majority of supporters but to let them know that they are not happy is fine by me, I guess very few will turn out and they will look silly

Not to mention the £20m spent they quote without mentioning the fact that a fair chunk of that was to replace Friedel, Walker, Downing and Young from last year's side.

They really do go out of their way to accept everyone has the right to a different opinion. They make VFC look all-encompassing.
