AVFC statement - McLeish sacked.

[pauliewalnuts]

AML is right though, it appears other clubs really DO have a different agenda to us.  Particularly when it comes to playing insipid surrender football.

Wigan's performances recently aganist Liverpool, Man Utd and Arsenal (were he raised the white flag and admitted as much) simply highlights it all the more.  That's 9 points they'll have taken while we'd already pre-accepted zero in the same fixtures.

See, for me the definition of competitive sport means a side should always give it a go.  Regardless of the amounts spent by the opposition, their calibre of player or their "different agenda."

But if we use McLeish's logic there to explain away defeats and not trying against better sides, why haven't we got maximum points against the likes of Stoke, Swansea and Wigwam?     We've spent more than them, have a better calibre of player than them ergo our agenda should be different to theirs.

Losing matches happens, sometimes it happens a lot, sometimes you deserve it, sometimes you don't. Sometimes you can blame the players for not having a go, for being half arsed, or for being mentally "on the beach" at this time of the season.

What should never be in doubt, though, is the manager's wanting to have a go. We should always be approaching matches with am intention of trying to win.

We've all seen plenty of rubbish seasons for Villa in the past, but I don't think McLeish's main problem is the sheer rubbishness of this season alone, it is that too often you can say he clearly did not have a go at winning games. That's not on.

[Moorski]

Clearly Villa are well down on Randy's priority list now otherwise Mc Leish would have been sacked by now.

If we are to unite as a Club he has to go asap. Only pulling together can save us from this mess.

I have not been that critical of AM all season, he does not want to be in this position just like the rest if us.
There have been games when we have not deserved to lose and we have had some bad luck with refereeing decisions, players form, mistakes which have been unbelievable and injuries.

That said there has been a lot of strange tactics, substitutions and decision making from him which he has to be accountable for too. Also our form last season from set pieces was very bad and that has got worse. Again you have too question the coaching, which the buck stops with AM.

My real gripe and probably final straw is our throwing in the towel against these so called 'Top Teams' before the ball has been kicked. Well played Wigan tonight and last week. They were incredibly unlucky against Chelsea too. They say you make your own luck and after the way Wigan have gone about things after that poor luck against Chelsea you could say that the saying is true.

After the Norwich game will be time to part company and start again. It has not worked, it might of done though. I didn't think Pardew would do a good job at Newcastle. Look at the mess ABV made at Chelsea, nothing is certain.

Just please keep us up Alex and then it's time to part company and good luck with your next role.

How can you be a successful football manager if you have a fucking inferiority complex like Mcleish has.
He should not be in the job on that basis alone.

Spot on, it's the idiots that employed him that need to look at themselves, but he has to go I just hope we stay up

Who on earth would want him?  A proven failure.

Less than 12 months ago Aston Villa wanted him and went to great lengths to get him!
Unbelievable I know, but that's what happened!

Wigan have won more games than us

MCLEISH OUT !!!!!!!!!!

So have Bolton, even though they are in the bottom three.  We really are that bad.  We are on such a downward spiral and yet Randy can't see it.

And only the appalling Dingles have won less.

The table doesn't lie does it?  At the end of the season, the teams who have generally won the least amount of times are in the bottom three.  Wolves, Villa and Blackburn are there on current form.  We have a complete lack of fight, that's what scares me.  It'll be excuse after excuse from McFuck. Simply not good enough.

That is a shocking statistic, and they were the better side at the Molineux against us too

[Rip Van We Go Again]

One home win in five and a half months is the most shocking statistic.
How Blandy and his moronic bunch can find this acceptable, is beyond me.

McPissflaps has been an unmitigated disaster.
