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.

'One thing for sure...' ?
Wrong. This petition, like all the protests and ramblings are completely out of proportion with the situation and it does not represent the views of 'almost every fan'. I dread to think what some of the names on that thing will be.

They could sit there and write 10000 Mickey Mouse names and addresses because nobody is going to try to validate the information given.

Thanks John.  Don't wish to be associated with that outfit although they are entitled to their own opinions.

I don't want him as manager, but I don't want some tosser with an over-inflated sense of importance speaking for me, so I won't be signing any petition if asked.

So Chris Hearn wants 10,000 signatures on a sack the manager petition and hopes to drum up media interest but also avoid any negative vibes. Sounds just a tad naive to me.

Self importance in the extreme and someone who is very confused.

The CEO invites him in for a chat and he refuses to talk to him. Then he does want to talk to him and send him a letter. Then whines like a bitch when the CEO asks a Head of Department to contact him about the letter and now wants Faulkner out as well for not responding to his letter when he was offered a chat over tea and biscuits in the first place and he refused the offer?

That's about the size of it I think.

What a prick.

Don't you fucking dare to presume to speak for everyone. He's like Fear on acid.

I'm predicting a petition made up Amanda Hugnkiss, Hugh Jass, Ivana Tinkle, Chris P Bacon, Ivor Biggun, Seamor Butts and Mike Hunt.
