AVFC statement - McLeish sacked.

[VILLA MOLE]

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.

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

Quick Draw McLeech?

like it

or

the not very good in fact very bad and the fukin ugly 

Yeah  , 'For A Few Dollars More' would work as well wouldn't it?

We should be on Villas marketing team 

[VillaAlways]

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.

What right minded person who wanted the best for Aston Villa would have employed McExcuses in the first place

[David_Nab]

You have to wonder what Genting and Macron are thinging ..I bet they didn't sign up to sponsor and provide a kit to a team fighting relegation and with a hugely unpopular manager.

I would love to see them point out anything positive he has brought to the club..the only thing I can see they could suggest is brining Ireland and Warnock back into the team but then that mess was caused by thier last managerial appointment so really we are back to where we started !!

WE DON'T CARE WHERE YOU CAME FROM, YOUR JUST NOT VERY GOOD

I like this.  Simple, to the point and a good successor to "WE'RE NOT FICKLE, WE JUST DON'T LIKE YOU."

Make it so!

Well, if you insist on making it so, correct the grammar crime first.

Somebody on VT came up with:

"It's not where you're from, it's where you're taking us" which I thought was quite pithy.

I like:

IT'S NOT WHERE YOU'RE FROM, IT'S WHERE WE'RE GOING

[Monty]

I like:

IT'S NOT WHERE YOU'RE FROM, IT'S WHERE WE'RE GOING

Could be misinterpreted by our mental powers-that-be as pro-McLeish.

[paul_e]

Just add McLeish out above it in big letters

Nursey from the Mirror is reporting Villa unhappy with the story ,and stablity and Mcliesh to say

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.

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

Why do you think nothing has been written so far?

because the media arn't interested in Aston Villa

They're every bit as interested in us as they are other clubs of our size.

They'll be all over us like a tramp on chips if we get relegated.

The fact of the matter is, there's not really that much to say about a club mooking around in 15th or so - when you consider how much they do say about us currently, it is actually quite a lot.

We will have to pay out 2m - 4m to get rid of mcliesh

Plush the sunken costs of 4m for compensation and wages so far..

Arguments sake we bring in Martinez, well thats going to be another 2m to Wigan

so to get rid wil cost us 4m upfront and we need to write off the 2m we played to blues

wages are wages you pay no matter who is in charge i suppose...

how many season ticket sales and match day tickets do we need to drop by to make this decision feasable for the board?

i.e None mcliesh football (assume sales last season under houllier):
we sell 30,000 season tickets and average price is £500 thats 15,000000 in revenue per season

then say we sell average of 7,000 seats per game for 19 games, average price of say £30 thats an additonal  3,990000

Total in is 18,990000

Now mcleish in charge next season...

say 20,000 season tickets so 10,000000
say we sell 4,000 seats for season as match day tickets thats 2,280000

Total is 12,280000

Thats a loss of revenue of 6,710000

So business case stacks up to sack him i guess!

Just depends on this years season tickets sales and predicted match day sales... good to know if someone has actual stats...
