AVFC statement - McLeish sacked.

[PaulWinch again]

This calender year we've taken 12 points from 14 games. That's 12 from a possible 42. That is absolutely dreadful.

[James]

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

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

You have to remember that our board don't say anything to anybody, I'm not even convinced that the prats talk to each other!

[N'ZMAV]

I fucking hate this whole situation, it's fucking bull shit. That's all.

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.

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

Agreed, everything I've heard from him recently sounds like a man who knows he's being watched carefully and is desperately trying to justify his performance, given this and the fact that, if anything, it's caused us to withdraw even further into the must not lose mindset has got to be the final nail in the coffin.

I just don't get why so many fans seem to think the board will pat him on the back for a job well done at the end of the season because of the reduction in wages and completely ignore the fact that he's taken a side that were one of the form teams in the league late last season and has seen us fail completely at home.  7 wins in the league by mid april isn't good enough.  Even clubs like Wigan who are used to be down there would be unhappy with that return.

With each passing day i'm convinced he won't be here next season.

It's either that or he's safe in the knowledge that he'll get a nice little pay off if they decide to fuck him off.

Premiership football always amazes me in the way that it rewards failure.

Then he'll end up elsewhere and do the same.  Its and easy life eh...?

As am I.

I think he's lost the fans now and will never get them back.

[TonyD]

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.

Why any compensation for the shit he has served up?  He has done an awful awful job with the resources he has been given.

Given the recent large wedges we've handed over to former managers, you'd hope we were a bit cuter this time and had some kind of protective clause in his contract enabling us to get shot cheaply.

You would hope so too.  But Villa and the FA seem to be bed fellows in this area.

I doubt it. I think everthing would have been on his terms.That's why he's the 20th highest paid manager in the world,not forgetting the compo of god knows what to Blues.The incompetence is quite staggering

[PaulWinch again]

With each passing day i'm convinced he won't be here next season.

So am I, but I think that's me just having wishful thinking.

[Oscar Arce]

The 20th best paid manager in the world, Alex McTwat.
Incompetence of a spectacular level by Lerner, who knows zero about football.
We're fucked unless we win a game and people are finally realising it..

Yep as I said whether you're in the 'sack now' or 'sack at end of season' camp. I don't think there is anyone who actually wants him to be in charge.

[WarleyWonder]

Isn't it amazing how so many more fans are now finally agreeing what a waste of space AM is, anyone with an ounce of football know how knew that it would not work. Putting aside where he came from etc he is an absolute rubbish coach and the stats do not lie.
