AVFC statement - McLeish sacked.

[TopDeck113]

Lerner is such a incapable owner of a football club, I could imagine a scenario of him sacking Mcleish and them reappointing him in the summer on the grounds that we need someone with the experience of getting a team straight back up out of the Championship at the first time of asking.

I now rate Mcleish lower than McNeil in the canon of worst Villa managers.  McNeil at least managed to affect not giving a shit, which made you wonder if he could have perhaps done better.  This is - and was always - as good as we were ever going to get with Mcleish.  He had the track record to prove it. 

What price now, "experience of managing a Premier League club", Mr Lerner?  Experience suggests you've learnt from your mistakes.  McLeish is actually doing the exact opposite - following the same disasterous path that he did 12 months ago.  Only difference is there's no fool and his money poised to pay us compensation to take him off our books.

This whole thing is so laughably predictable if it wasn't so sad.

It all becomes very hollow when you see that doesn't it. Wonder if the Browns have the same!

Empty sloganeering and bullshit is all part of American culture isnt it?

When i saw that site earlier it just became totally clear that we'd been had.  Bullshit artists.

I seem to recall a few years back a poster calling the General out for basically being full of shit - it went a little over the top and there was the predictable mass hysteria.

Turns out that poster seems to have been right all along.

As I posted a while ago for the owner and his hirelings it is not about football it is about marketing a "product".   Liverpool are on the same slippery slope.

When the going got tough the General fucked off and Randy went into hiding when he should have been over here finding a new manager. AM should have been sacked months ago.

Watched on tv and I saw sid sitting with Stan staunton I wonder if they were discussing how they going to keep us up

What absolutely boils my piss us the fact that Lerner and Faulkner rushed unto the tunnel to reassure Mcleish that everything was ok and not
to worry about anything I really do utterly despise the pair of them

The fans deserve answers to some tough questions. I hope they're prepared to answer them.

If that's true the Randy can fuck off back where he came from.  There was a part of me still trusting Randy to do the right thing.

[VillaAlways]

You always get the impression with Mcleish is that the situation that we are in us absoloutely nothing to do with him and that he has somehow done us a huge favour in taking the job on . Unfortunately that's what I think the 2 arseholes think as well If we get relegated Mcleish will be completely exonerated from blame

[Walmley_Villa]

They are backed into a corner without a scooby doo of what to do. They must be shitting bricks or at least I hope they are. This isn't the MLS, there is relegation!

I hope it was more a case of checking he was alright after the abuse he received. If they were telling him to ignore us and his job is safe we are absolutely screwed and may as well start forming a new club. Worst home season ever and they're patting him on the back?!

[villasjf]

He won't be sacked.

 And why?

The same reason he hasnt been sacked in his life, despite his questionable career record. And that is.....and he knows this...is if you avoid defeat, and especially heavy losses,  it's hard for people to pull the trigger. And it's hard for chairmen to point the finger, because there's always the dodgy penalty, the unfortunate injury or the sheer bad luck you can shift the blame onto.

Only some of us see the bigger picture. The failure to make hay while the sun shone will be our undoing.

And that is not the fault of injuries, it is not the fault of a referee and over 38 games it is not a case of bad luck.

However, it may well be the fault of an American , a custodian, or his trusted business minded employees, who rejected the advice of a few hundred brummie 'thugs' (oh, the silent majority, a phrase used when it suits) because they thought they knew better.


Well guess what. We were right. You were wrong. You have two choices- sack him or sell up.

3 choices surely sack him and sell up.

[WarleyWonder]

How can AM be surprised at the amount of hate thrown at him he has single handed ruined out beloved club.

We have to show him how we feel again on Saturday forget it's a local derby we are a laughing stock the Albion will murder us.

McLEISH THE WASTE OF SPACE DO THE RIGHT THING AND GO
