AVFC statement - McLeish sacked.

[PaulWinch again]

They also need to get a 'football man' on the board to provide proper advice. If Faulkner is good at dealing with the commercial aspects then good, but he clearly doesn't get the football side.

[Phil from the upper holte]

Where is Chris Smith?

[Rip Van We Go Again]

My worry is that even if they get rid of him the next bloke will have to opperate on a shoestring, they will fuck up the appointment and we will be in the same situation next season-depressing

A good Manager can make the best of what he has if he has the qualities of leadership, tactical nous and guile.

The current arsehead has none of these traits, our quality players are being shackled by the dreary safety first method that he honed at the Dog Shit.

But you're right that Lerner and co. are too stupid to appoint the right person.

My thoughts.

[mr-villa]

Does anybody think our current points/league position would have been any worse had we just kept Gary Mac at the end of last season, after all it was he who presided over our very good end to last season.  Why did the board not give him a chance? I do not understand why the board felt that Alex was a stronger candidate than Gary Mac can anybody make a case for why they would reach that conclusion?

[SX150]

Lets not get carried away, we were just unlucky again today.

I've just gone over to the dark side.  Sorry, Alex. You've done your best, I don't doubt that, but I'm thinking, damage limitation.

 

As long as KMc can get the lads playing right through a match, we should be all right. 

[Mr Diggles]

McLeish should be realistic in his own abilities too and recognise, even without the fan hostility now, he is not good enough for this job.  However, I personally don't think Lerner or Faulkner would make a decent appointment following that anyway. It's an unholy mess, and the only saving grace at the moment is that we are not being talked of as being in the relegation fight. Yet. I think that will change over the next few months though given our run in.

Why should he? Who walks away from a job because they aren't up to it? He has done very well for himself. He got himself a great job with good pay. The people to blame are the people who appointed him. They are the only ones who need to wake up the fact he ain't good enough.

[David_Nab]

I firmly believe if Blose hadn't won the cup last season he would never have been considered.Leaner and co have been blinded by that and his record in Scotland which as he was manage at  Rangers is really not at all impressive.

I think you should give a manager time to get the players working to his way the problem is the team are playing like his team from last season ! They are playing his way and it's useless every criticism of his appointment , the reasons given for why it was a bad move have proved right !
