AVFC statement - McLeish sacked.

[Hadley83]

I'm not sure if its been mentioned previously but after Inter Milan won the Next Gen series, then went and appointed the manager from that team as their first team manager. We could do a lot worse than follow suit. Especially if we got an experienced assistant manager in to.

[Risso]

I am stone cold sober mate, don't drink at all I am afraid to tell you. He is a better manager than the clown in charge it is as simple as that, and as such I would take him on a contract till the end of next season if he kept us up tomorrow. As I would a lot of managers that are out of work and better than McLeish! He was a terrible appointment, we gave him long enough, our form is woeful and getting worse, the players look clueless, he looks as defeated and pissed as he did last season at Blues, and we have less points than they had at the same stage. The fact he is still our manager points to our CEO having about as much idea about football as a one legged ballet dancer does of sailing a fucking cruise ship. We are in a mess, and the club is torn down the middle at a time when it needs to be united by the board sticking by a manager the fans will quite simply never take too. They have put themselves in a corner and rather than looking in the mirror they are digging into the floor hoping it will all go away, and the sad fact is we are going to be within a whiskers lick of going down, or worse we will drop.

Ozz, sorry I'm being silly. I'm close to giving up in the bloke myself. I just don't think Curbishley is ever an option. He's just one of those managers that gets linked with everything and gets nothing. Bit like us a number of years back being linked with Carlton Palmer every year, and even after he'd retired. If we are going to go a different route and someone with a good standing in the game isn't available, then I'd rather give it to a rising name like Poyet, Rodgers, Lambert etc or someone from the continent and give them a contract that allows them the freedom to truly build something at what still is a very big football club.

We'd be a downwards step for Lambert and Rodgers at the moment.  Why would they leave well run clubs, where they're an integral part of building something lasting and stable, to work for that pair of clowns Lerner and Faulkner? 

[Hoppo]

Spot on Hadley. Tony McAndrew is a great shot with Sid and Mr Mac coaching. McAndrew is far more vocal than the other two.

This morning ...

Mrs Walnuts: "Have you seen the news?"
Me: "No"
Mrs Walnuts: "McLeish has been sacked"
Me: "REALLY?"
Mrs Walnuts: "Yes"
Me: "REALLY?'
Mrs Walnuts: "Yes!"

*spirits soar as I rush to the internet*

Mrs Walnuts: "April Fool!"

Does anyone know a good divorce lawyer? Or hitman?

Interesting point.
Lambert and Rogers presumably know their clubs management and board very well and have a close relationship.
Would you really want to work for a fucking imbecile who spends most of his time in the States whilst implementing an economy drive that would make George Osborne blush?

I don't adovocate violence against women, but I think you're quite within your rights to beat Mrs Walnuts to the point at which you both end up in tears.

Indeed. Domestic violence is a dreadful deed but ther's a time and a place for everything.

Cruel, cruel woman.

[Monty]

Hell hath no cruelty like a woman taking the piss.

[JUAN PABLO]

my woman knows nothing about football .
She watched an interview with McLeish talking after the game and she said to me ' Blimey , he makes out you're a small club and HE'S your manager '

Made up my mind that one did.

[JUAN PABLO]

I went to the Leicester -Forest game the other night ( absolute drab ) with my Leicester mate , free ticket and few drinks .

I actually bumped into another Villa fan there who had gone to the game , he told me he was a season ticket holder and was not going again while McLeish was there , I thought , fair enough and then he said 'Im getting a season ticket next season too but I wont go to another Villa game until McLeish is gone ' .   

He had it right in for the manager .  I wonder if he posts on here ?

[Irish villain]

McLeish is actually a dreadful manager. I don't know if he lost his magic (or if he ever had any magic) after suffering relegation but boy is he useless.

There's nothing there. When he came in first I liked his dignity and integrity and felt they indicated a certain leadership ability that might rub off on the players.

Any other club in this league and he'd have been sacked by now.

I think he's taking us down. Not this season, but likely next.

I am left wondering what on earth the boards plan was?
