Lerner and McL collaborated to take the piss out of the best support in the land. Time for the backlash!

Quite right Brian.  That fuckwit Lerner has got away mostly scot free this season.

They should fly him out to the States, sack him and them tell him to pay for his own flight back, out of his severance package.

McLeish never should have been sacked because he should never have been given the job in the first place.

Lerner \ Faulkener are as much to blame.

    WORST ever home record in our long history

    Equalled the most ever draws in PL history

    FIRST ever team to not score from a corner all season

    WORST ever PL points total for AVFC

    LOWEST number of PL wins, could be the lowest number ever

But hey guys, it's because he's from the Blues, right?

It is a tricky one, this.

On one hand, I think "there's just no way they could possibly be so stupid / blind / stubborn to leave this bloke in the job, no way", and there's total unanimity on this on here.

However, then there's the fact that when his name was first mentioned last summer, we were all - all - thinking "there's just no way they would be so wilfully stupid as to even think about giving McLeish the job".

So, in conclusion, I can well imagine them being stupid enough to keep hin on.

On the bright side, if Randy rings Sir Alex up tonight to canvas his opinion, he's not going to take his call.

Lambert for Villa!

If he's that much of a moron I wouldn't want him here.

Suggest a question and a set of answers.

When will McLeish get the chop?
-This week.
-Before the end of May.
-Before the end of June.
-During pre-season.
-During the course of next season.
-After he's overseen relegation this time next year.

Poll on way.
Shit ref!

Every single bit of common sense tells me he's a goner. And yet i'm still uneasy.

I have been dreading this outcome since the 'vote of confidence' after Bolton. Me and the missus were talking about it and as she's not from the West Midlands she doesn't see the local press and the rumours. She asked me if there were any clues as to whether he was going to get the heave-ho and I have to admit, I have seen nothing that suggests his sacking is nailed-on.

That would be a right kick in the teeth to Villa and Norwich if he was. Although Norwich can have a manager that has just performed miracles in keeping up a squad worse than those below them!
