AVFC statement - McLeish sacked.

[Villanation]

You know what really scares me. Despite everything we can clearly see, I honestly believe that Faulkner thinks that things are okay and is telling Lerner so.

He's doing this for two reason, (1) he honestly still believe that McLeish is the man for the job or  (2) he realises he's made a massive fu**king error and is covering his arse by lying to an absentee owner.

Well there is one way of navigating around that, enough of us log onto the Cleveland Browns website forum and ask what the phuk are you doing with our club and do you actually know what's gong on at Villa or don't you care.

I logged onto it on the eve of him buying the club and the fans there said that it was absolutely true that the rumors of Lerner buying the club and it would happen very soon and he was talking openly about it over in the US.

I wouldn't bother. You'll just get called a homo and they'll lock the thread. They aren't the most progressive of chaps.

[TaxDodger]

Di Canio? Wow. I'd rather O'Leary back.

[brian green]

I think the board are much more likely to sack him after a bad home performance with the crowd baying for his blood.   They aren't the most progressive of chaps.

[ozzjim]

I think the crowd baying for the boards blood is much more likely to get him sacked.

[PeterWithesShin]

We need to get a crowd to VP for it to bay. Sure won't be one for the Fulham game.

[Aston Manor]

We need to get a crowd to VP for it to bay. Sure won't be one for the Fulham game.

yow a yam-yam?

[TheSandman]

Considering they are largely absentee a baying Villa Park probably won't be noticed. The way for people to exhibit their disaffection would be to boycott and hit them in the pocket. I'm not advocating that as I know for lots of us the Villa is like a drug and we just won't be able to turn our back on the bastard day ruining thing.

I think the risk of keeping him is bigger than the risk of getting rid, we are in decline, the fans know, the staff know and the players know. The level of negativity now surrounding him could really damage us. KM and GC is a much better bet than sticking with him.

[Shrek]

We should sack now. But Kevin McDonald is not the answer, we were rudderless with him in charge.

We need to not mess around like we have previously and like wolves have just done.

Anyone know what would be cost of sacking him?

Also would km want it after the way he was treated in 2010?

[pauliewalnuts]

An Aston Villa manager playing for a 0-0 at the bottom team should be sacked on the spot.

Unacceptable dross that was.

That is it, in a two sentence nutshell.

Apologies if you have already seen it, but had anybody seen Mcleish's name on Wikipedia? Made me laugh.

[Irish villain]

It's like he thinks you get three points for a scoreless draw.

Sorry, wrong thread. But that post match interview was terrible. He looks ragged. He must be under terrible personal strain. It's just a horrible situation for everybody concerned.

It could have been worse.
