AVFC statement - McLeish sacked.

[PaulWinch again]

Mcleish you idiot, look at the table now. Wigan just beat an 'elite' club, because they had a go. If you don't play for wins in the remaining games we will go down. We need to win, not limp to defeats and draws.

Frightening statistics made worse by the fact we have supposedly better players.
There is no future with McLeish

I don't understand the relevance? People have been making the same comparison all season.

As to the useless twat of a manager, how the burk has kept his job is beyond me. Two wins this year, one home win in nigh on six months, seven wins all season... statistic after appalling statistic.

Oh Fuck!!!!

Posted the above statistics in this thread rather than the 'Relegation Possibility' thread, as I don't think the statistics are indicative that we'll go down (as we don't need as many points this season to stay up), but they do show that McLeish doesn't appear to be doing an excellent job.

[ROBBO]

We needed to cut wages and balance the books by selling off our two best players,who did Lerner employ to guide us through this difficult time, someone who has proved twice that he cannot do that job. I don't blame McLeish, anyone in his position would have jumped at the chance the blame rests solely with Lerner, some custodian of the club he is turning out to be.

Unfortunately, while this guy is around, there is going to continue to be this horrible cloud of shite we live under.

I can put up with us being shit, and I reckon most people can, if i feel there's some cause to have hope. I genuinely can't think of a single positive thing to take from this bloke's time in charge.

I even worry that the kids are going to come through and have their positivity stamped out of them.

He's created a negative outlook across the club and players in particular. I said to my old man while walking back to the car after the WHL debacle that a negative attitude like that seeps into the mindset of the players and cannot be switched off. The negativity has spread like a disease across our season.

For the love of god those stats should see him sacked surely? It is taking the piss he is still in charge. Just don't get it at all.

I think the most disturbing thing about that comparison with Blues at the same time last year is that, actually, he's doing an even worse job with the players he now has.

I know we don't have a squad of the highest level, far from it, but we're way better equipped than Blues are - we have a different agenda, as he was quite happy to tell the world when he was still managing them and we were beating them 5-1.

And made noises to that effect when he had been here a few weeks.
