AVFC statement - McLeish sacked.

[Risso]

At the back of my head comes keeps coming this thought that if we sacked him now and put KMac and Sid in charge for the next two games we'd scrape a win from one of them to secure us. Am I wrong in this assumption?

They wouldn't do any worse.

With so many kids in the team,it would make perfect sense

[Summers]

As much as we hate McLeish he'll get us a couple of draws and we survive the season. He may be shit, but he has more experience than our coaches so I imagine he's being kept on for that. He'll be booted after the season.

[VILLA MOLE]

I reckon he'll be gone at the end of the season. As stated in another thread, I'm feeling positive today.

I will have some of what you have had mate

Yesterday I was a doom monger, today I'm positive things are gonna get better.

Tomorrow who knows!

[Mister E]

Does anybody get the impression that McPissflaps is really not all that bothered about the situation?

He acts like a man that knows his job is safe. Clearly Randy and/or Faulkner have already given him the assurance that he'll be here no matter what next season. If that is the case then it is an almighty 'fu*k you to the fans'

Can't disagree with this, Neil.

i suppose it beats flat line apathy that i have experienced for most of the season

[N'ZMAV]

I honestly can't see him going. I'd personally contribute to his compensation package if they do sack him, I'm sure the fans would probably pay it.

[Mister E]

Of course he looks relaxed - I still maintain his brief this season was to keep us up, and he'll do that.

It also helps his cause massively when you have the likes of Lee Dixon, on MOTD2, claiming he's done 'a good job', citing 'Villa have had injuries' as an excuse for form (ignoring the reality that we had almost a full squad until the end of Feb). And, of course, his old mucker, Sir Alex, again singing his praises in interviews last week.

You have enough people publicly saying you're doing a good job, despite a team winning fewer games than anyone, apart from Wolves and Blackburn, and you start believing it yourself.

Over 38 games, plus cup matches, the stats do not lie. Even RL and co cannot be so foolish to realise that we can muddle through next season. Add to that the fact that ST sales will probably drop alarmingly and the message has to be crystal clear ...


... okay, I'll get my coat.

My cats couldn't.
Plus, they'd claw the ghoulies of any players who didn't give 100%.

Stop looking at the situation sensibly and rationally, EffDee. Haven't you forgotten that McLeish walked into the toughest job in football, and that he's been battling against all odds so far just to keep Villa going?

I think he's been so poor, in fact, that I can't think of a single other manager in the Premier League who has done a worse job this season.

[PaulWinch again]

Over the course of the season with the respective players available, I don't think any other manager has done a worse job than Mcleish.

[Rip Van We Go Again]

I would just love somebody at the club to make a statement, justifying their faith in McOneleggedmaninanarsekickingcontest.

disagree,
 he acts like a man going through the motions, saying stupid things, making excuses, knowing he wont be here much longer.
i see nothing in what Mcliesh says or anything in his body language which sugests he is guaranteed another season, in fact quite the opposite.

its funny how people read things in such different ways, still all will be revealed soon one way or another

I can't decide whether it's a good  or a bad thing that they haven't.Often the vote of confidence precedes the sacking
