AVFC statement - McLeish sacked.

[TheSandman]

To be fair those 8,000 were probably all people who cared really deeply about the club. Proper diehards who would have got behind their team. You will probably have a similar number (probably a few thousand more) similarly minded people there now but surrounded by as many as 20,000 or so people who are all a bit meh on things. Bigger numbers but a lot more people who are apathetic about the club in the ground.

No. McLeish deserves a summer transfer window where he gets financial backing from the Board to bring in his own players, particularly in defence. I believe he will get that support this close season. He can only then be rightfully judged.

I've said it before, but I don't think that his own signings would make much of a difference. He's got his way and that's that.

Who could Alex McLeish realistically get? Some Rangers cast-offs and 30 year old British defenders.. no thanks.

Dann and Johnson were terrific for Blues, and he found them from relative obscurity.

How about Europe or even further afield?

I fear his passport extends as far as MON's did. So far the extent of his buys/loans for us have been from Spurs, Wigan, Manc and Shamrock, plus a former PL player.  I worry if he does looks overseas we'll end up with another Zigic.

Why take the chance? Next season we could well go down if he stays in charge - nothing from his past record or here has made me think that he can do anything regarding a 'success' even within the financial restriants. Get someone proven in dring the summer. I said on another post, MON has turned around a S-land squad IMO worse than ours - AMc is not getting the best out of the players.

If McLeish is still here in the summer he'll be signing the likes of Steven Davis and Lee Wallace from Rangers for knock down prices so don't get your hopes up folks.

And he'll get it. I don't think Randy quits on people. Not such a good thing in this case.

[hawkeye]

He will get the summer all right, and the season after, the only thing that would change it would be new ownership.

get out of your mon dreamland, he got there spending lots of dough and is now getting the best out of players that were recently bought for lots of dough!
he nearly killed our club, ask celtic fans what they really think of him and the reply will be that he left the club with average players nearing the end of their careers on long contracts and earning loads of money!!! Sound familiar???

Martin O'Neill - Just like Harry Redknapp but without the twitch and the dodgy tax advice.
