AVFC statement - McLeish sacked.

[ROBBO]

He's carrying out Lerners instructions, no players in and the highly paid wankers out, he could, with some cause say the best players were sold from under me the rest weren't good enough. I really cannot see us winning a game exept maybe Bolton, MCleish will be playing for draws for the rest of the season.

He said he wants to move us up the table. He won't do it with draws.

Like anything McLeish says actually matters. He's an idiot.

I do love Randy Lerner's thinking.

"If we are in the same position this January as we were last January I'm not spending 18million on a striker, so I need a manager capable of dragging teams away from relegation on a small budget......."

Hmmm.. How about the man who has just relegated our arch rivals for the second time.


I can see why he is such a rich man.

He says lots of things, though.

He was telling us recently he's not negative and wants to play attacking football. It's just that there hasn't really been much to suggest that is really what he wants to do, or that he knows how to do it.

That's a great letter Mazrim, puts it all very well.  Perhaps we should all write similar to the club and they might get the message.  Love the use of the much under used "clagnut" later on as well althoguh never sure whether to spell it with a K or a C. 

We need one of these:

He says lots of things, though.

He does. For example, after the Man City match, when asked how Villa can improve. "We just need to win a game," he said. Brilliant. Fingers crossed, eh?

[N'ZMAV]

I just can't see Lerner sacking him. Even if we go down. And I can't see McLeish walking away, he had balls of steel to take this job, why would he jack it in at the moment? He needs at least 1, maybe 2 seasons...

He was also telling us what a great game the lads had against Man City and bemoaned that we lost Dunne so early in the game.

First!!!!!

[PaulWinch again]

Under-fire Aston Villa boss Alex McLeish, who has been under pressure from fans since his summer move from arch rivals Birmingham, has rejected claims his Premier League team plays negative football.

He said: "I have never put the shackles on the lads, never have done since the start of the season. Yes, I want them to get back and defend and help out other parts of the teams, just as every other major team in the world does.

"But I have never asked them not to go and score goals and play their best football."


Erm sure.....

[PaulWinch again]

Also whether he tells them to play negatively or not, putting Heskey on in midfield is going to make you negative.

[Rip Van We Go Again]

'"I have never put the shackles on the lads, never have done since the start of the season.''

The one thing I always thought about McLeish, he's got integrity.

How wrong I was, he's a fucking liar.

exactly!  The guy is clueless
