Yes but they would probably replace him with Steve Bruce!

Dwight Yorke would be a good shout! We have nothing to lose and anyone's gona do a better job than McCleish!

No! Turning to old heroes in an effort to sweep up the dust does not work. It didn't bloody well work for Newcastle and it isn't going to work here.

He does seem to be living in a slightly parallel universe - not quite DOLWorld - where he's talking about how unlucky he's been. I'm beginning to think that he's simply not up to the job. Nice, yes; enthusiastic, certainly; committed, surely. Fully competent and talented to lead a Premiership club? - that's the question I don't think he can answer.

No it was for Sky, I'm not sure it's available online.

Seems a nice enough bloke, but way out of his depth.

Is this the right interview?

Afterwards, Sky cut to Dwight Yorke in the studio who more or less said McLeish was after talking bollocks. He must have said 'I disagree with Alex there' three times in the space of a minute and then  said he was looking into the Holte End during the game and all he could see was disbelief.

I hope you find that Sky interview McLeish gave.

I'd give him until Xmas to prove himself (providing he keeps us up).  If we sacked him now I can't see who want would it.  The Villa job has become a poison chalice for managers.

Besides can Randy afford the compo to sack him?

His team selection and tactics have left a lot to be desired but he deserves at least 12 months and our club needs stability.

Yep, as I say terrifyingly delusional.
