AVFC statement - McLeish sacked.

While I now think we need a change of manager, I really dont want to be particularly associated with those who have wanted him out from Day One. What would they have done in 1968 ?
I shall call them the `Not the Children of the Children of the Revolution.`

I wrote to the Guinness Book of Records and got a letter back signed by Norris and Ross McWhirter and Roy Castle.
People these days just don't care.

Are they the Bastards of the Revolution then?

First thing it is nice to know that Paul, couldn’t be bothered to deal with me directly.

Apart from inviting him and the rest of his little after school club in for a chat, which they turned their noses up at, of course.

How much will power must it take not to reply "Fair enough, go fuck yourself then?"

After sending an email to Paul Faulkner on Friday, I received a phone call from Nicky Keye.  First thing it is nice to know that Paul, couldn’t be bothered to deal with me directly.

Oh dear, he seems to have come down with Jon Fear syndrome.

Why do these people think that their inane ramblings are so important that the CEO should drop whatever they are doing looking after the running of a major business and spend time trying to decipher poorly written letters and then to reply immediately.

This chap is on a roll, is he not?

Aston Villa fans create 'McLeish Out' petition - to be handed to owners personally

Aston Villa fan Chris Hearn is aiming to get 10,000 signatures on the petition, urging the club's owners to act before it is 'too late'. It is already one tenth of the way towards its target.

He says: "We have created a petition for the removal of Alex McLeish as manager of Aston Villa.  We know that all fans have very different views on how we should approach trying to get rid of him, but one thing for sure is that now almost every fan wants him out.

All we are asking is for all fans of Aston Villa to sign the petition and when it reaches its target we will print it off and deliver it by hand personally to Paul Faulkner.

It might not make any difference and they might even bin it, but at least if had a petition with over 10,000 signatures they would have to realise that a significant number of fans have had enough.

Also if we manage to get a large number of signatures, it might be able to generate some media interest as well and gain the fans more publicity in our mission to get him out.  But without the negative vibes that can be associated with protesting.

We believe that this is a peaceful and dignified way to let the club know how we feel, and all It will take is 1 minute to sign."

They've done a lot more than that. Senior management rang him but that wasn't enough for Mr Self-Important.

3 seconds to write your name and the other 57 to remember how to spell it.

The next step is to get 100,000 signatures on the Government website and then have them debate our manager situation in the House of Commons!

[Jimmy Smash]

I like the bit where it says they've got nearly 10% of the signatures they need. Only 9,000 to go then!

I would just like to point out that that quote is not from me.  It was taken from a letter I posted from the McLeish Out shite of which I have absolutely no association.

That is all.

Sorry - didn't notice it was showing like that!  I've amended my original post now.
