AVFC statement - McLeish sacked.

[Monty]

I've just read the entire Ferguson reference and I am raging. He is belittling us more than O'Leary did. Fuck off Alex, you are a coward who blames everyone else for your failings and can't accept responsibility.

Where's the full quote about Salex? Can't find it anywhere.

Regardless, I'm fucking sick of his excuses, his self-pity, his abjuring himself of responsibility, his belittling of our talented youngsters to the point where they'll obviously underperform and he can say 'look, my prophecy came true'. I'm also fucking sick of his Stalin-esque revisionism. The CEO said we were aiming for Europe. You, Eck, said you were excited to be taking over such a big club and not fighting relegation again. Either you're making up that you thought it would be tough, or you're admitting that you lied to us the fans, just as you do about your 'dynamic' football (whatever the fuck you mean by 'dynamic').

I read with disbelief Steve Kean saying how he and Venky's aren't going anywhere, and how 'exciting times' lie ahead for Rovers. Randy, please don't let that be us. You have no idea how close it is.

You're right.  Steve Kean's Blackburn won more games than us this season.

He needs to find out the budgets for next season?


"Hi Randy, Paul. Can we discuss how much money there is to spend next season?"

- "Good news and even better news on that front Alex. The good news is that there will be a considerable transfer budget to work with as we appreciate the squad needs rejuvenating."

"Excellent, so... the even better news? I cant imagine anything being even bet..."

-"The even better news is that you wont be spending a penny of it. Your taxi is on its way and we've packed your letter of recommendation from Sir Alex and some sandwiches. Can you send Mr Villas Boas in please."

"It's a fair cop. I'm a painter and decorator really. I was just seeing how long I could get away with it. Bye bye ya wee bazzads."

I have no doubt he will be sacked but all those going to norwich i hope will let mr mcleish know exactly what most of us think of him and his apalling management.

Apparantly Martinez meeting with Whelan next week to discuss his future at Wigan .

Somebody on here posted that Martinez was out of contract this summer. Today the man himself has been quoted as saying that he has three years remaining on his Wigan contract. You just know that shark Whelan will auction him off for a fortune if he wants to leave!

We all know he should be sacked but i will put money on him starting next season with us. Shit i know but i have this horrible feeling.

I'll take some of that action.  He's gone.

That really is a sickening thought, however I think you could be right.

I just hope that I will be calling the ticket office  next week to renew and having that feeling that we will be competing again under a new exciting manager.... oh, and then the alarm went off

I hope he is gone as well. Waiting with bated breath for a press conference after tomorrows game!

[garyshawsknee]

I really think he knows he's a sacked man walking,thats why in the last couple of weeks he's been coming out with bizarre statements to the press.

Im not sure who he's trying to impress though by shoe horning Fergies name into his last press conference,its wound up supporters and the press probably think he's now completely deluded.

It won't be then, but I'd expect it sometime later this month.

[not3bad]

I expect it to be announced next week when he meets the board.

I reckon he's gone mid next week. Randy and Paul are in the US and will both come over next week to meet and fire McLeish.

Interesting to read in Kendrick's latest article that McLeish has said he won't be scouting players for us at the Euros. That's because Alex you won't have a club to manage.

Terrifying thought. I thought the club statement about a horizon of 3 games and understanding the fans' feelings, together with McLeish's demeanour at the Albion game meant, he was 100% gone. I'm not that confident now, but hope that McLeish's increasingly delusional rantings are just the sign of a man in total denial about his ability, achievements and prospects rather than any credible belief that his position is secure. I'm still holding out til the last minute to renew though - unless we get some good news next week!

In fairness I bloody hope no manager of ours would scout players at the Euros. Playing a maximum of 7 games of peak exposure, with inflated prices if they do well. No, it's a good rule of thumb to avoid anyone who's just done well in major tournaments as their price will be massively inflated.
