AVFC statement - McLeish sacked.

[Villanation]

Quique Sanchez Flores managed to get Benfica to finish third in a two horse race. His spell at Atletico Madrid wasn't great either. Maybe given time he could have done a job but as Gregory mentions, the squad and budget were hardly going to make his life easy.

I'd still like us to go Dutch and Frank Rijjkard will be looking for a job this summer.

Well, last eight Champions League, and he had to qualify for that, we all know how difficult that is, victory in the Europe League final and its said players love his coaching approach and working with him.

Not bad, I say.

Flores flavour of the month.

They say he's butter than most

[Holte L2]

Rijkaard hasn't done well anywhere since Barca. Massive ego too. Don't think he'd understand what we're about. Flores, Lambert or Klinsmann for me.

[Legion]

Villas-Boas. Seriously. Won't happen though.

[Rudy Can't Fail]

If we could get Lambert, I'd be more than happy. A thinking man's Martin O'Neill.

[KevinGage]

Van Basten is now at Herenveen. 

Can't exactly say his spell as manager of Ajax was a golden period for the club, true.

But he did say nice things about us on the eve of our game against them in 2008.

Seems to have been part of the criteria for McLeish getting the job, so why not.

he won't come. Shoe-in for the celtic job if he plays his card's right. Can't see him coming to a basket case like us and jeopardising that

Wake up and smell the flowers.

[Chris Harte]

Fuck it, I voted "No" but now I've changed my mind. Trouble is I doubt the "custodian" would be capable of hiring anyone better.

[hawkeye]

The only thing that might get Mcliesh the sack is a very poor take up of season tickets.

Not sure the Celtic job is a great prize, but you are right, attracting a decent manager based on the state we are in is going to be very difficult.

[pav]

It was bad enough attracting one last time

[luke25]

Fuck it, I voted "No" but now I've changed my mind. Trouble is I doubt the "custodian" would be capable of hiring anyone better.

Thats very much the problem, even if he did get the sack, you just know our main criteria again would be fucking premier league experience and we'd end up with Paul bastard Jewell, makes me feel like crying.

[BedsVillain]

I'd be, (genuinely) interested to know if the 49 people who have so far voted 'NO' have done so becasue they want McLeish to be the manager or if they think it would be even more detrimental to get rid of him.
