AVFC statement - McLeish sacked.

[TonyD]

90 mins of Sack McLeish my lord is what is needed at the Fulham game.    It might not make any difference but it might make you feel a bit better.

We've been an established top flight club for the guts of 25 years, and in the decade of our last relegation, we also won the European cup.

In the quarter of a century that we have been top flight, we have seriously flirted with relegation about five times. Most of the time we have been pretty comfortable in mid-table and have spent more time in the top six than fighting the drop.

The lack of ambition this season, and the toleration of such a pathetic managerial performance is actually scandalous.

It's the complete lack of respect I can't stand.  Don't listen to the fans, in fact, fuck 'em, don't bother communicating with them either.  Appoint a human shield, a shit one at that and watch as the club heads downhill, just like we, the fans, said it would.  An incredibly poor performance from Lerner in allowing MON to waste money, appointing Houllier after he had been out of the Premier League for so long and them ignoring the wrath of the fans to appoint Billy McNeil part two.  Clueless, hopeless and pointless.

The sad think is, we are in a Catch 22 situation. The only way the manager will be sacked you feel is if we lose the rest of our games this season; but if we do that, we will be relegated. .

[Simba]

OK.  Is it time? Time to support the players because they can play some nice stuff and finally give this manager as much stick as possible.

I say yes.

Some players not pulling weight. ok Why

Had it, don't even care to debate it. The man is rubbish. Give him Hell.

Tim Abraham tweeted this tonight.

Was assured recently that the Villa hierarchy have 100 per cent faith in what McLeish is doing at #AVFC. He's here to stay.

He's reducing the wage bill. That's all they care about.

No wonder the General scuttled off like a rat up a drainpipe. Defending this shite would be nigh on impossible.

I have nothing but respect for people who travel half way around the country to support our team
and end up getting served up utter dirge week after week.I must admit I won't even look for a feed online to watch us let alone spend vast amounts of money anymore to watch it in the flesh.The patience must be being tested of even the most ardent fan.
The only pressure left is for the hardcore fans to stop going or renewing next season which is an awful situation to be in.

Then the Villa hierarchy have no fucking clue what they're doing. What an utter shambles.

The General scuttled off as he talked absolute shit and finally got rumbled.

Waffling on about 'imagine the backing for McLeish' and 'We'll finish 4th, er I mean 5th' made him look like a Happy Shopper Abe Simpson.

[Greg N'Ash]

I voted no again. Basically until someone can come up with a good manager who will join us under the current conditions, i'd rather wait to the summer

[hawkeye]

there comes a point when you should be writing to the Chairman rather than just posting on here, why not let him know how you feel?

Where the fuck are people meant to address the letters to?

Send him a letter to Villa Park? May as well piss in the wind.

[Dave Clark Five]

New poll added just

15 say sack
1 (Chris Smith) says stay

Something else that worries me, the usually optimistic ones on here are quiet :/

It was only 45 minutes of crap.

That makes it alright then.

Does it?

Of course it doesn't

Then what's your game?

Either way we're probably better off going outside and shaking your fist at the sky whilst screaming 'WHY LERNER? WHY? Whatever we do it will have no effect.

Apathy has set in.

[robbo1874]

I voted no again. Same reason as before- no point pulling the trigger mid season unless you're way adrift at the bottom.
