Protest? Not in my name...the football match is the main event

[VillaAlways]

Another thing. If Maz's mate's mate is correct and we do have rich Arab princes sniffing around, a pathetic bunch of teenagers shouting obscenities around the McGregor statue is going to look really good as he walks into reception on the way to the executive boxes.

So they shouldn't protest in case some bloke off the Internet's mates story about rich arab investors is true? 

I'm pretty sure that was tongue in cheek

[Chris Smith]

Fans ARE entitled to say what they feel am i correct? Fans who do not agree should not knock the fans who do not agree with who the manager is.

You really do make it too easy you thick sod. You argue for freedom of speech but then qualify it by saying those who disagree with you aren't entitled to speak up.

What I cannot fathom is why protest now? Nothing dramatic has happened to kick people into a tailspin and we have showed signs of improvement of late. It makes no sense.

And, what exactly do they think it will achieve? After all the furore of the initial appointment, do they honestly believe that a bit of whining about us being mid table is really going to get him the sack?

Its bonkers and incredibly small time. We used to laugh at other clubs for doing stuff like this.

And that Daz is why I say that anyone involved with this protest is a buffoon.

It makes more sense if you look at it without applying logic or intelligence.

It's because Blues are looking like promotion contenders.There wouldn't be a protest if they were 17th

I think this protest is about as likely as finding a bluenose in Sherlock Street. A few slack jawed simpletons will try a few 'McCleish Out' chants, before disappearing into a disinterested crowd.

I quite agree. The wanton apathy that is prevalent... oh I can't be bothered.

No, they shouldn't protest because they are a bunch of ******, but this could be an unwelcome side effect.

Lerner gave MON a lot of money and not all of it was well spent, AMC is having to live with in a budget set at present.
When DOL did not have much to spend he reminded the world of that at every press confrence, interview etc.
AMC is getting on with things and unlike DOL for example does not give the impression he is doing us a favour by being in the dugout.
There are a few fans who would like to see him turn things round and give him a bit more time, remeber he was employed by blues and is not a fan.

They are all pricks. End of.

Why have we got to 11 pages when it has been nicely summed up in 6 words here?

It's no surprise but for the hard of thinking..

Shay Given has urged Aston Villa fans not to protest against Alex McLeish - insisting the players are to blame for the team's below-par performances.

Fans are set to voice their dismay at the Scottish boss ahead of the Villans’ match with Manchester City on Sunday.

Sections of the Villa Park support have never been behind the 53-year-old after his summer switch from arch-rivals Birmingham.

“People have to realise that Alex McLeish is a great manager and is passionate about doing well for Aston Villa.”

But Republic of Ireland shot-stopper Given claims the players must take more of a responsibility for the club’s disappointing season.

“Protesting does not help the club or the players,” Given told the Alan Brazil Sports Breakfast. “People have to realise that Alex McLeish is a great manager and is passionate about doing well for Aston Villa.
“It’s always easy to blame the manager but players have to stand up and be counted, look themselves in the mirror and put in good performances.
“Maybe some of them are feeling the pressure when playing at home but you’ve got step up, it’s a big club.
“You’ve got to take that pressure on your shoulders and want to play for the club and show the fans that you’re good enough to play in that shirt.
“It’s too easy to blame the manager, he doesn’t cross the white line and as players we have to take responsibility.”

Meanwhile Real Madrid sit top of La Liga by 7 points, Christiano Ronaldo has 84 goals in 90 games but Madrid legend Roberto Carlos has had to call on the fans to stop booing Ronaldo because they feel his performances have dropped in 2012, what the fuck? Thats crazy.

Some of our fans would boo us whilst lifting the FA Cup if McLeish was in charge at the time.
