AVFC statement - McLeish sacked.

[Mister E]

Difficult to use yesterday to judge it - the more I've thought about the game we watched, the more I thought that Steve Kean out-sussed McLeish: those two half-time subs were the difference!

However, McLeish did not have the bench-depth to supplement the tiring Herd and Petrov in central midfield and neither Albrighton nor N’Zog are good enough at covering the fullbacks when under pressure.

Did anybody think they'd live to see the day that West Brom finish above? That's a saving offence. Having the same win percentage as Billy McNiell, that too is a sacking offence.

Jesus, even Stoke are going to finish above us!

I met up with my mate who is a Norwich fan who went to Stoke yesterday, he said how sh*t they they were but to do certain things in orderto win, but he also said he wouldn't pay to watch them. So it's a bit like us apart form knowing how to win.

Ah Norwich, I remember you, just. You were our last home victory. In November.

I think it's pretty damning when the opposition manager outsusses you with one move, and at half time as well, giving you the whole half to respond (and their goal came in the 81st minute, so it was coming). He's barely got a Plan A, so Plan B was always going to struggle to exist.

If this poll said should AMC be sacked in the summer. It would should 99% yes

[Holte L2]

For me unresounding yes. on the basis that we couldn't be any worse if KMac and did took us over until the end of the season we'd stay up. I don't want the same fiasco in the summer as to what we did last summer. Get MCleish out now, and that gives us more time to identity your man. Lambert or Flores for me.

When you put it like that, that's fucking appalling.

Agreed.

You're right, I guess. I was being charitable, although our bench-strength yesterday was not good.

To be fair, the opposition manager was Steve Kean.

It's sad to think we have gone from outsiders for Champions League contention to outsiders for relegation in just a couple of seasons.

Why does Villa's fall from grace have to be so immediate all the time.

Yes, I agree. Just posted on Other Games what a nice bloke he seems and he will make a very good manager somewhere one day with a more patient and caring set up than the scum who run things at the Chavs

Checked media sport spages after that post and thought no chance as nothing there. Checked them again after my last post and there it is.

Seem to be in the PL sacking season if clubs feel they aren't achieving their aims i.e. Wolves and Chelsea. The problem is though, Villa skirting relegation does seem to be classed as an achievement by the club at the moment.
