AVFC statement - McLeish sacked.

[Rip Van We Go Again]

McLeish is turning out pretty much as we all expected, but once again, our complete clusterfuck of a chairman gets away Scot free.
Sells our best players and puts the brakes on spending with a speed that would make George Osborne blush.

The brickbats and criticism should be at Lerners door, wherever the fuck that is these days, although I doubt he'd hear anything whilst shouting orgasmic obsceneties over the letter from Sir Alex Ferguson (Which I presume is now as stiff as a board from repeated splatterings of man mustard) .

At least we don't have to put up with the twerpish General anymore and ridiculous pronouncements of
'we'll finish 4th, er I mean 5th'
'Imagine what McLeish could do at Villa with Randys backing.'

Here's the interview

Oh dear.

[Jimmy Smash]

I try and support him, but it's tough. I really have no confidence in him. I find myself looking wistfully back to the HDE days when he'd be taken for a quiet walk in the garden and be "persuaded" to resign. Ah... the good old days.

[Rip Van We Go Again]

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.

Well you'd better start believing it Paulie, there are a few twats on here and in the real world, who believe that relegation would be no bad thing.

People who've never watched football and school kids I reckon*

Is he just waiting for our luck to change? Nothing more he can do then?

[damon loves JT]

I'm not a defeatist and I'd never demand the sacking of a Villa manager but the lack of ambition makes no sense at all. People pay to watch Villa in the expectation, or at least the hope, that we will give the top four a bloody nose once in a while. If the club is not interested in that, and just wants to play the percentages against Bolton and Wigan, then why would you part with your money?

Here's the interview

Oh dear.

'We had a few corners'

Whoop- de- fucking- doo !!!

A few shots would be nice, making the goalie make a few saves would be nice, scoring would be nice !

When a manager starts quoting all the players in the team, good and/or bad, YOU JUST KNOW he is trying to deflect from himself.

Agree with all this - I went there thinking I would be 'satisfied' if we only lost by the odd goal.
How defeatist is that.
This was all compounded by them showing the goals from the first home game of the 2007/8 season when we beat city 4-2, young, barry, milner, laursen were all in the side that day.

We are a million miles away from players of that calibre now - and they are like the harlem globetrotters of the premier league.

I've watched that interview a few times now, and my favourite moment is the look on his face after he says "win the next one". It's a look that suggests an incredible amount of confidence. Like he's solved the mystery of football, and can't believe that for all these years, both he and other managers have been so foolish.

We'll just go and win, it's obvious.

Exactly my thoughts, football is meant to be entertainment and what is on show at Aston Villa these days is about as far away from entertainment as is possible.

I dunno about saying it's not 'entertainment', it's kind of been like watching a dramatic comedy for the last few years.
