AVFC statement - McLeish sacked.

Off to watch the post-match interview.

Lee, prepare to be even more open mouthed and swearing abuse than you were under Dolly.

If he's to go, then it must be on the basis that we go to Norwich or Swansea and get their manager.

I'm not up to watching it yet. And I like watching horror.

Is that actually possible?

Knowing our luck RL would sack him and appoint Bruce. Hopefully he'll get the Wolves job. the annoying thing is we've narrowly missed some good potential. Hodgson! Hughes, Houghton? All would have been better than this. We have a group of more than good players. McL's management must be the problem. There were questions about his ability to motivate at SH. Again he had a squad capable of staying in the PL, but they dropped like a stone at exactly the wrong time. Even in April people were saying they were too good and wouldn't go down. Well they went. This is the most worrying thing.

It is a terrifying interview.

Brace yourself.

Its fingers in your ears and a sneak peak from behind the sofa type of interview Leeg

Difficult. He shouldn't be in charge but is. The team is a mess and tactically we do seem poor. especially at  home. I fear for us now that Keane has gone and those lack of points from our early games has come back to potentially bite us on our arse. As for sacking him now that is just a 50/50 decision so we may as well leave it until the summer. I'm not convinced that whoever is available can come in and change us sufficiently to make that much of a difference.

Good points. Isn't Keane still eligible for the Wigan away match, though?

[ozzjim]

Oh yes.

When he looks totally disbelieving of the reporter asking the questions and says the game plan was excellent, and follows it up with a response to the question how do you break the worst home run since 1987 with, win a match, you think, sorry mate, you are not up to the job, get your box.

[villan from luton]

Was a disgrace today, like the spuds and scouse shite games. Have stuck up for him, but three times is too much, feck off

Is he? Good. An absolute must win game before he goes then.

I'm actually wondering if McLeish relegating us would be a good thing.

First off McLeish would surely fuck off from football. Secondly, Randy will lose ALOT of money and he'll deserve it for being so stupid. Thirdly, we can fuck off all the high earners like Dunne, Collins etc. and use more of our kids.

Maybe we need a rebirth like Newcastle? I just fear the kids won't be good enough to bring us straight back up.

I'm just fucking sick of what's going on at this club right now and think we need a major revamp where we need an ethos to play more like Swansea.

You're trolling. If I wasn't sure about it before, then that last sentence regarding Swansea clinches it for me.

[Dave Summers]

I've voted yes, with a heavy heart.  I really wanted him to succeed but for the good of the club and in the interests of getting the whole club moving in the same direction, the he has to go

Even when making allowances for a poster having an illustrious track record of idiocy, I find it nigh-on impossible to believe anyone with the mental acuity to be able to do the humdrum things in life (read, write, tie their shoe laces) thinks relegation would be anything but a bad thing.
