AVFC statement - McLeish sacked.

[pauliewalnuts]

Definitely a need for a new poll. If we had a swingometer it would show a major change since the paranoia of immediate post-Blackburn. At one time you could count the 'Nos' on the fingers of one hand.

Look at those who have said "no", though, most of them do so on the basis that it'd be impossible to replace him with someone now. It's hardly the most ringing of endorsements.

[TheSandman]

We should have a new poll that goes 'Sack Now, Sack in the Summer or Don't Sack'. As things stand it is a bit ambiguous as to which you vote for if you think he should be potted in the summer.

As one of the 'no' camp, I don't think it'd be impossible to replace him now, just pointless.

He's underachieved with the squad, but not so much that he deserves the sack.  That'll probably be my feeling during the summer too, so my hopes lie with Randy backing him to give us that much needed clear out more than him going and a new man coming in, and we then have ANOTHER season of transition.

Weimann deserves a start soon.

I agree but not with McLeish in charge it will undo all the good work thats been done in the reserves

[Dave Clark Five]

23.7%. The rot is setting in again.

Randy isn't going to back him with too much cash, so I don't see what big difference McLeish will be able to make.

Some Bosmans and a couple of cheap fee players won't get us anywhere near where we need to be.

[Dave Clark Five]

23.6%.

[Mister E]

Is there anyone left who thinks we need to just get behind the manager and team...

Or is everyone now fed up and against the Manager?

Quite honestly I think he is getting off very lightly, in comparison to past managers!

Definitely - said this earlier in this thread (I think). Apart from Wigan away, it's been remarkably restrained.

[Dave Clark Five]

Is there anyone left who thinks we need to just get behind the manager and team...

Yes.

[Dave Clark Five]

Back up to 23.9%.

Dont agree, it would split the 'sack' vote.

We don't want to split the sack.

It would, but it would still be the number of people who don't want him as the manager of our club going forward. At the moment, I suspect it looks like there's more support for him in this regard than there actually is.

Yep, it looked painful enough when Scott Dann did it!

In which case that would be the result whoever is in charge!

I think the financial backing may be in paying off the players who we need shot of, as opposed to being on new ones coming in.
