AVFC statement - McLeish sacked.

[The Man With A Stick]

well if the handicapped are being punished for sins in a previous life then what the hell did we do? mebbe the entire Villa support are reborn SS Stormtroopers....

I must have been Skeletor or something...

His future will continue unfortunately. There are a wealth of appalling statistics, performances and tactical absurdities that you can throw at the man, but its his ability to sap the soul out of the club that it's the most startling factor.

Bring in Glenn Hoddle.

Cue mass exodus of wheelchairs.

I wouldn't give him a job selling Balti pies.

His record stands up and be would be great for our youngsters.

Eileen could help the disabled section, but I am not sure about the pie sales, not after the pasty tax is brought into play.

Ive been thinking Hoddle would be a great fit. Inspiing name, his teams play good football too

Just read McL's comments in the Indie, about Villa's luck.  He reckons he must have killed an albatross.

One of the more poetically erudite reflections by a PL manager after a run of dodgy results. 

Given this indication that our manager can reference significant literary quotations at need, I'm crossing my fingers for a 'once more into the breach!' moment, soon, and an appropriate result.  ( we win!) 

Note to Alex - Let's not go anywhere near -

You make your own luck Alex... Letting in god knows how many goals from corners isn't bad luck, it's bad organisation. Having our worst home record for years isn't bad luck, it's the wrong tactics, wrong selections and poor communication with the players.

Blaming everything from injuries, the players, luck and albatrosses isn't bad luck it's failing to take the responsibility that comes with a £2m a year job.

The next Manager that comes in needs to be somebody with a long-term plan to move the club forward. Somebody young and hungry to prove himself. I'd go for somebody like Poyet, Solskjear or Laursen (started coaching in Denmark) with a good advisor on the board.

Spare us Alex Luck!!!!
You are not doing your job properly on the training field.....how many goals have we given away to set pieces
Go!!! You are an incompitant coach who has taken a team down twice already

[VILLA MOLE]

Bring in Glenn Hoddle.

Cue mass exodus of wheelchairs.

i dont think the dingles took to him much

Is Steve Coppell out of the question.. he had some decent free-flowing football with Reading for a campaign or two if I remember correctly.

Solskjear is a good shout.  From what I have read he was always a very diligent student of the game.  Whether he'd be able to summon any sort of fear in the players in questionable though, but a Larsen along side him could do the shouting.

According to todays Sun, it's GODs fault

ALEX McLEISH believes 'the gods are conspiring' against Aston Villa this season.
 
The Villa boss has failed to win over the fans as his side hover just above the relegation battle.

He has also been hit by injuries to key players in a year the club announced a £54million loss. And the news Stiliyan Petrov has leukaemia is the latest blow.

Big Eck said: "The gods are conspiring against us. I think I've shot an albatross or something. But Stiliyan's situation can motivate the players."

Doubt rogers or lambert could be tempted here but hoddle would be a vast improvement on the current clown in the hotseat.

Keep it up you fuckin clown, get your excuses in now for what we all know is going to be the result at the end of the season.

A coward in so many ways.

[VinnieChase84]

The whole AM thing is just totally insane. Every time he opens his mouth it's like he's trying to aggravate the supporters more and more. The excuses coming out are gut wrenching. He literally has now blamed everyone else but himself. Now it's Gods fault!? (shaking my head in disbelief)
My only hope is that he keeps on blabbing and says something Hoddle esk in controversy and then is 'forced' to leave

Okay, so the Current Bun is hardly a great place to quote from, but ...

... if this is all McLueless can muster we are in deep doodah; this is just downright embarrassing.
