AVFC statement - McLeish sacked.

[Dave Clark Five]

It is now a talking shop of people who want the manager to be sacked. They are looking for more support all the time.

[Fergal]

Should have sacked him months ago, most of us could see what was coming.  If we do go down there is only one person to blame and sadly that is Randy.

[Dave Clark Five]

But he hasn't been sacked. All we can do is support the club. That includes the manager.

[paul_e]

The problem with that is that some people think wanting the manager sacked supports the club in wanting the club to be the best it can be.  Other people judge supporting the club to be cheering and not kicking up a fuss.

I'm not denigrating anyone's opinion here but for me me the club and the manager aren't the same thing and currently the manager is doing the club more harm than good.

[PeterWithe]

The window for sacking the manager, where it would do any good has been and gone. We can only hope the players pull together, show some pride and ability, and get us out the mire. I fear any change to the manager now would be futile.

Does this go for every manager over time? Should we all have offered complete support to O'Leary, O'Neill and McNeill?

What line would have to be crossed for you to call for him to be sacked?

Is it the broken line they usually show on the league table ?  You know, the one between 17th and 18th ?

Just the managers that he [inexplicably] likes.

He is merely an individual employed by the club to do a certain job.  If he's doing that job badly, he's damaging the club, and thus continuing to support him actually runs contrary to supporting the club.

He's as poor a McNeil. How anybody can support the incompetent, surpine coward is beyond me. We've got to keep backing the players, stay up and wake up from the nightmare of McLeish and his insidious reign in the summer.

Oh goodness . . . Billy Mcneill!!! Robbie Savage (Yes I know!) writes in the Daily Mirror today that Villa seem to play a different tactic every game with no overall strategy. This worryingly kind of reminds you of Billy McBingo.

i dont think he's doing a good job and i dont believe it will ever get any better,
 but calling him a coward is to a strong word, a coward is right down there with the lowest of the low and Mcleish for all his faults is not one
