From twitter:

CharlesNzo Charles N'Zogbia
All the lads are 110% behind the manager and spirit is great within he camp.

When was that? must have missed that one..

There's an old expression that goes something like "There's no smoke without fire!"

My biggest fear is not that McLeish has lost the players, but that the board will do nothing about it! (assuming they even notice, that is)

Worrying!

They can't keep sacking the manager every time one of the precious little tits gets her knickers in a twist about something.  We'd get through three managers a season.

Underperforming players will always hide behind McLeish's unpopularity.

Mcliesh must have nearly killed him then, and lets face it a football does go up and down, that's just what it does do, what he's probably learned is, "get me the phuk out of here"

Maybe there in lies the problem. I have repeatedly revealed myself to be a McLeish admirer. Brave bloke, nice man but soething of an enigma. I want him to succeed with Aston Villa but his credibility is a problem.

The fans are divided on him. The players can hide behind that. This is why it was a bad appointment. It was always going to be such an uphill struggle.

I do agree that players shouldn't use Twitter. Partly because they will end up saying something stupid and partly because they will always be exposed to some morons who will do nothing but abuse them.

If players dont agree with the manager, then drop them.
If they continue to back chat the manager, get rid of them.
McLeish is charge, if a player doesn't like it then rot in the reserves and leave when the window opens. End of.
Entirely right - if a player has no respect for the manager they have no respect for this football club, if this turns out to be true rather than the usual tabloid shit stirring then Alex Mcleish gets my support in fucking these idiots off to the transfer list. I am utterly shocked by this, todays performance just like Wednesday's deserved 3 points it was only Krul's saves that prevented us racking up a cricket score. I assumed Ireland was injured and N'zogbia was tactical.

I wouldn't tell McLeish to fuck off.  That's all I know.

I'd love to tell him to fuck off

N'Zog is probably guilty of putting his twitter finge into gear before his brain. They're not the brightest group of people, the poor dears.

If I was anyone who wasn't playing in defence, I'd be asking them, in the dressing room, what the fuck is going on?

If they feel they're not getting enough support, then they come out and say it, otherwise, they take it on the chin and get on with being told how it is and being encouraged to sort it out. And if Dunne or whoever gets upset by it, then tough shit.

People talk about wanting to get rid of Heskey and Beye (I know he's gone now) etc. for being shit, but maybe we should just get rid of the trouble makers first, as GH wanted to do. Take the hit and get rid.

Bang on, this was a contentious signing for a manager, it still is and it always will be, the players know that, the fans know that, and if the players and staff know that, they will never give there heart and soul for the club, that is of course unless McLiesh achieves such a success at Villa the force of that pushes aside any dissent from all other doubters, and its not just Villa, we have seen it at other clubs where a manager has been appointed against the wishes of the fans, then he does really well, fans put up with him until things turn sour and the knife goes right in and he's gone.

Problem is we no longer seem to have a chairman that is engaged at the club (at least as he used to be) its almost as though him and O'Neil where lovers, they fell out, separated, and he just can't return to the matrimonial home, its just not the same, to many spoiled memories, so we'll just rent it out for the time being and stick someone else in on a short term tenancy.  ::)

Got back around 30 minutes ago and really felt we deserved more out todays game. Some real decent football played at times as well. Certainly some positives but on the other hand veryvery frustrating result.

This may be interesting for those who havent already read.
