AVFC statement - McLeish sacked.

[Fergal]

Lets reopen the poll on sacking the useless manager.
Question: should we sack AM and give the job to KMac and Sid ?

[DB]

In answer to this thread.....he has no future.

Surely that's a rhetorical question?

[TonyD]

AM is so bad that we have nothing to lose in sacking him.  Whats the worse that could happen if Sid and KM got the job.  It couldnt get any worse.

[PaulWinch again]

Lerner end this folly now. You will lose a lot of money if it continues, bite the bullet. Put Kmac and Sid in charge for last 3 games, it cannot possibly be worse. If you don't act now it could be too late.

[garyellis]

I wanted to give him a chance what choice did we have? But it was always going to end in tears, there is no way he can lead us into next season, too many empty seats one way or the other. As management decisions go this was up there with the worst. Here's praying for a miracle.

[PaulWinch again]

Fucking hell I think the Villa fans have given him plenty of chance. We have got progressively worse and are virtually terminal now. There is no other manager in any other job who would have lasted this long. He has been given every opportunity and failed spectacularly. He has to go there is no other option.

[Irish villain]

As Thatcher would have said,


OUT! OUT! OUT!!!!!!!!!!

[TonyD]

The club needs a lift.  Putting Sid an KM in charge would unite the players and fans.  We only need a couple of points.

[NeilH]

Oh so damn predictable and avoidable in equal measure. Its been coming for weeks and everyone has seen it bar the people that matter. It breaks my heart to say it, but when when you are managed from the top to the manager so incompetently then you frankly deserve to go down and we're going down with a whimper not a cry, just like we did last time around.
I feel utterly mugged after backing Lerner and the 'Bright Future' nonsense. A once proud club is now heading into the abyss of the Championship where I fear we'll struggle to recover whilst the idiot is running the team and the invisible man is pulling the strings from a leather chair in Cleveland.

I feel like an utter idiot right now, like most of us do, for swallowing the Lerner nonsense hook line and sinker.

[David_Nab]

From the stream I had the fans seemed to try their best to get behind the team and 2-1 down but nothing happened on the pitch.

[Walmley_Villa]

Can't disagree with any of these comments. The fans have amazingly patient but the end is nigh. He should be gone by midnight with his relegation buddy Grant. The negative vibes will only lead to one thing.

It's a shame that as the anti McLeish songs rang around the ground at the end, the owner was 5,000 miles away, probably not even watching on TV.

The guy's retraction has been so complete, and his utter idiocy so total, that we have come to this absolute disastrous mess.

Proud History..........          that is all!
