AVFC statement - McLeish sacked.

[SheffieldVillain]

Get fukin rid. Caretaker for rest of season and bring in Moyes with a decent war chest. Football really is simple.

On Football Manager I'm sure it is. In the real world, Moyes gets a choice whether to come or not.

Stay at Everton no money or come to a bigger club with money to spend? Ain't a difficult decision.

1. There isn't money to spend.
2. Everton are higher than us in the table and still in the Cup.
3. He already said in the summer that he wouldn't come to Villa.

Lerner decides if there is money to spend. Everton are bankrupt, and where did he say he wouldn't join villa? If this rotten apple needs to be in charge for a season to reduce the wage bill then so be it. Moyes would jump at the chance to manage our fine club if money was made available.

Well, here for one. The bit where he says "I'm not interested anyway."

That was while Gerrard was in charge. Completely different if the post is free with money to spend.

Yes, you're absolutely right. The job will be so much more attractive to him now.

Ian Taylor tweet: 'Afraid the fans have had enough. The most hostile I've heard towards the manager. They spend their cash and entitled to vent frustration.'

It was hostile. Around me the atmosphere was not nice with the spume being vented toward McLeish - I actually feel sorry for him. He comes across as a nice bloke - totally clueless about managing our team - but nice all the same. It can't be pleasent when it becomes personal from your own fans.  At least next week he and Steve Keene can chat about it after the game!

Let's disagree but with money available Villa would be a step up for Moyes.

OK, let's. Let's ignore the fact he's already said it wouldn't be as well.

I voted no. We're no nearer the relegation zone, so I stand by my opinion that we should wait until the end of the season to decide. That doesn't mean that I don't think we can do better. He's proving to be a limited manager (as a lot of us suspected), but if he was the best the board could attract in July, who would they bring in March?

[hawkeye]

I thing Mcliesh is now a dead man walking, my concern now is that the fans reaction will have a negative impact on the team and we still need points, very worrying

Voted Yes! Sadly wanted Big Eck to succeed but it just hasnt worked for him or us!!

As for a replacement? God knows! 

Paul lambert or brendan rogers but doubt either of them would leave their clubs to inherit this mess.

Yea when he got no transfer money to spend and being respectful to a manager in post. Villa would interview him 4 times anyway.

Of course they would, we still have a better squad and better resources than their teams. It's also an easy task to be popular when you're succeeding McLeish at Villa Park.

I voted yes this time. I was and still am furious after that.

But nothing will dramatically change until we get new ownership o.ur at the least a board with a clue

Martinez didnt exactly jump at the chance , lambert and rogers have their teams playing attractive football and would be a big improvement if either could be tempted.

[Phil from the upper holte]

Still yes, I'd let sid and his wife have a go, can't do any worse

This - we are in free fall on and off the pitch.
Worrying times

A few years ago we used to talk about Mancini and Hiddink replacing MON. Now we're wondering if Rogers and Lambert would think we're an attractive proposition.

Two years ago we were preparing for a wembley final, chasing a champions league place and going well in the fa cup- what a shocking state we are in now- how did it come to this?
