if he was sacked, i'd give it to Cowan's. the kids we're supposedly relying on for our bright future are his so if anyone can get something out of them it should be him. He knows the club inside out and what the fans expect  They'd also give him a bit more time than GH or Mcleish were given. Seems a better option than some of the names who'd we be likely to approach, and would take the job given the shit finances. We'd probably end up with Southgate this time


i'd be happy to go with this if it were an option,
 Cowans would certainly get the fans backing from the start, his work at youth level sugests he knows how he wants his teams to play by all acounts, it would be a bit of a risk but so would anyone, so i would be more than pleased to see sid in the hot seat

Whilst i'm not sure Sid is the answer, it is the kind of appointment that would unite the fans i suppose. I'm not sure he'd want it though.

I have trained my brain to conjure up a mental image of Audrey Fleurot whenever the name Alex McLeish is mentioned. It's better than crack.

I had to google this. Audrey Fleuret gives a load of images of people fencing while Audrey Fleurot shows an attractive ginger haired lady who would make a rather more pleasant mental image than Alex McLeish. Each to their own however.

Latest from the McLeish out site:


Time to Boycott #avfc
FEBRUARY 25, 2012
After yet another pathetic result for McLeish’s Villa, we have to ask how much worse can it get?

Aster watching that today the answer is a lot worse. If Randy Lerner and Paul Faulkner have any clue about the game they will dismiss McLeish immediatly. But we all know that wont happen.

So we urge all fans of Aston Villa to boycott the Fulham game, hit them in the pocket.

They have NO respect for you, they treated us like shit on their shoe when they appointed McLeish and keeping him in a job now is just taking the mick.

We deserve to go down if he remains on charge.

You want him out? Then do something about it

Who is stupid? The fans? Or the board for appointing the least popular Manager in Living nemory?

Fans telling other fans not to get behind their team.

I guess it's each to their own. The decision to appoint Mcleish was the most damaging in living memory and some fans feel that the only way of telling the club of their disatisfaction is to protest. It is after all a free country.

Kevin Mac and Sid would give the fans and I believe the players a lift for the run in. McLeish is suffocating us.

Boycotting is a ridiculous idea and won't help.

There will always be enough to ensure that the club ticks over. In fact I would still argue that the views on here are not the views held by many of the seasonticket holders who don't subscribe to internet boards.

Cowans would be a manager by now if he ever had the ambition to be one. I love Sid but I don't think he's management material, and if he did get the job I think we'd be in an even bigger hole than we are now.
I'd stick with McLeish till the season ends. Can't see us being relegated. The bottom 4 teams are truly awful and it would take a miracle for two of them to overtake us.
