had my firrst look at protest site, some of the abuse from the noses is quite witty!
i think it is a good idea to have a guestbook where people are allowed to vent their spleen over the villa and provide a platform to let others take the piss. Well Done to the site owner!

Just taken a look.  You're right.  Some of the posts and email addresses are brilliant.

Well done to those responsible.

I think the whole thing is the work of Jesuitic agents provocateurs, designed deliberately to precipitate discontent in order to identify, arrest and liquidate those fomenting sedition.

Or, failing that, it's just Fat Dave and Stupid Frank

Lookslike the Guest Book has gone. They have modified the site claiming the they 'gave him a chance' with reference to McLeish. I could ride a coach and horsrs through that statement but will not bother other than to say what bollocks it is.

In an attempt to be rational about McLeish, he inherited a team which had just lost its two best players and wasn't given the proceeds to re-invest in proper replacements.

He could go 'shit or bust' about how we play, but that could be suicidal and he can't go defensive as we have such a crap defence, again inherited.

So, like any Manager without funds he's stuck.

The difference (at this point in tie at B6) comes in the evidential motivational ability ( this is where MON scores) and I'm not sure he has enough of that.

He is a slightly dour person, likeable but dour all the same, and no John ( guitar in his office) Gregory either.

So, he a) either grabs a personality to warm to ( doubtful) or b) is given a World Class scouting team and a £100 million transfer kitty - plus the ability to pay the £100k a week demanded by top, top players and we'd be Ok I reckon.

As a) or b) are pie in the sky, he's onto a loser at VP with the fans, however, as the fans don't appoint Managers it's totally pointless ( literally in our case) in protesting about him, so GET BEHIND THE TEAM.

That's how I see it !!

That's disappointing. The Guestbook here will always remain.

Well done to the organisers of that site. Have the media been told or don't they want to hear from sensible people?

No interest in Media I expect. This site has more content as well I believe. The story of Mr Darren G can provide some light entertainment.

Just seen the updated site.  They are no longer proclaiming that those of us who won't join the protest are not proper fans.

Shame really, I quite liked being an improper fan.

I think the following might happen. They'll continue to bang the 'McLeish Out' drum over the weekend whilst keeping an eye on the possibilty of it being 'a bit nippy', then when they get wind of a possible poor turnout, they'll cancel the protest and claim they're doing it to give the players their full support.

Or is that 'Serport'?

I agree with this post.McLeish hasn't managed to motivate and get players running through walls for him-agreed, but neither did Houllier. Some of the football I've seen has been good let down by a shocking defence. If im fed up with anyone it's Randy Lerner-I'm surprised there isn't more feeling against him.He owns two clubs, both have poor records.I doubt he'd have appointed O'Neill on his own either.I wish he'd just sell up.

There are a lot of Villa fans who will never be happy which is a real shame for the club.I remember being very frustrated with the negativity aimed at John Gregory when he got Villa to the top.I really wonder what fans expect?

McLeish has got a rough deal so far in my book.He needs the chance to build his own team before being judged.
