Email from McLeish

[Monty]

I admire the gesture and, as many have said before, he seems like a nice sort of guy.

As regards the content, most of it is understandably bland, though my biggest bone of contention has not been answered: I don't doubt that he intends to be as attacking as he says - I just question whether or not, like MON, he knows how to do it.

As I said before, you can say what you like if you have the ability and results to back it up.  McLeish's football and results in the Premier League have been mostly awful, so he should keep a dignified bit of schtum until his league record is something to shout about.

I'm one of the bigger critics of the bloke, but that's unbelievably harsh.

Why is it?  His football was dire at Blues, and he got them relegated twice.  Thus far at Villa it's been the same old story.  Crap football and very few goals scored.  I don't care if he thinks the season has been "satisfactory" so far, I don't think it has at all.

The email wasn't addressed to you anyway.

Sorry Mr Bestest Fan In The World Ever, I didn't realise I needed your permission to discuss things on here.

Apology accepted.

[Risso]

Apology not intended.

Actually, I've just checked again and the email was addressed to me, so you can all butt out. This is between me and Alex. (I would have said Alex and I, but that sounded poncy).

Sorry jimmy, but it was definitely addressed to me as it started - Dear Pauline.  Unless, of course, your feminine side comes out with certain email senders.  *very tongue in cheek comment*

I will thank Alex for my personal email if I bump into him in the pub tonight. If he says ' I dinna ken what the f**k ye are talking aboot' I will report back.

That e mail is a joke. Not once does he mention the Deloitte Financial top 20, no talk of profit margins, does this guy even look at the balance sheet.
If he thinks we can be fooled by all this talk of actual football, then he is deluded.
Come on Randy, we want to hear about how much money we are going to make as a franchise, It's a  disgrace. Why doesnt he tell us how profitable he made his previous clubs instead of talking about trophies. He must think we know nothing about the modern game.

[dazzyg]

Does McLeish honestly think that the letter is going to make us change our minds?  It's an insult to every Villa season ticket holder to have that dropped on your door step. The bloke is taking the piss.
