AVFC statement - McLeish sacked.

[Merv]

Exactly the record is what is it 3 wins this calender year ?

Two league wins, isn't it? Wolves and Fulham. Plus Bristol Rovers in the FA Cup.

We really should not be having this discussion because he should have gone weeks ago!!!Can anyone see,if we fail to get anything out of the next two games,that Lerner will not sack the arsehole?He cannot let us go down with this idiot.I have a feeling that if we do not get anything out of saturdays game Mcuseless will be gone,if we do get a result i still think that from a financial point of view he will be gone at the end of the season anyway.Lerner wont like the way crowds have plummeted this season and the negative feeling around the whole club.I am sure he must have somebody ready to step straight in.

What else would he expect Villa to say? If they say 'no comment' then that just speculates it even further.

[David_Nab]

Well if they are unhappy I await the club statment

This years dvd  season review will be good I wonder what we will call it ?  those magnificent 7 !!!

I am sure he must have somebody ready to step straight in.

I'd like to think so too.  But, if you look at his track record since he's been here being pro-active doesn't appear to be one of his strengths as far as one of the most important positions in the club is concerned.

I hope in this instance I'm proved wrong.

Seriously what the hell have the Villa board been watching all season, because short of being sectioned, any right minded person that wants the best for Aston Villa cannot think that McLeish is it after this season. 1 home win in 6 months should be etched in their retinas until they realise just how dire that actually is. Incredible.

The press need to crank the pressure on him big time, and I am amazed that Kendrick is not being more critical. Bill Howell was one we never liked, but would give the manager a good poke if under performing.

You'll have a long wait.

ALEX MCLEISH IN A BATTLE

Owner Randy Lerner is plotting an Aston Villa overhaul this summer, placing boss McLeish right in the firing line.

The American wants to bring in a sporting director and is now considering appointing a new manager to work underneath him.

Starsport understands Lerner has already begun drawing up a list of potential Villa bosses. He is also set to step up his efforts to attract new investment to Villa which could boost his bid to bring in one of his top targets.

Lerner compiled a long list of potential bosses last summer before controversially turning to McLeish.

That included the likes of Wigan chief Roberto Martinez and Everton boss David Moyes, who could be considered again.

Lerner is a big fan of both but failed to lure either last year, with Martinez signing a new three-year Latics deal after rejecting Villa.

The Villa Park supremo could also look abroad for a manager used to working alongside the sporting director, a model favoured in Europe.

Lerner ignored fierce fans protests to appoint McLeish after he quit arch-rivals Birmingham.

But his controversial gamble on the Scot has failed to pay-off.

McLeish hasn’t been helped by Villa selling two of their best players, Ashley Young and Stewart Downing, last summer and then his big close-season signing, £9.5m Charles N’Zogbia, flopping.

This looks like a simple re-hash of the wishes of people on here!

The press wont dig at McLeish because he is very press friendly.

Why do you think nothing has been written so far?

I think it's very very clear how appalling we've been in every regard. I'd be amazed if those higher up the club haven't noticed. They certainly will when season ticket renewals drop heavily. They have no choice but to sack him if they want to progress and increase revenue.
