Moxley:

Quote
McLeish met Faulkner and Lerner in the tunnel. Banished the tv cameras. Manager remains in situ. #avfc

Who's Moxley?

Does this mean Lerner was at the game then?  Bit odd for him to be here for a midweek game.

In addition to being sacked he should also be jettisoned off into space so that he cannot do this horrendous shit to any other team.

The sad thing is that even if we do stay up McLeish will probably keep his job because Randy will think it was because of the heroic efforts of McLeish which involved playing for draws, not winning at home in nearly 6 months and relying on other teams teams to beat our relegation rivals rather than win the games ourselves. Staying up by the skin of our teeth would be seen as a great achievement by Randy and he would probably offer McLeish the key to the city of Cleveland!!!

Time to change the title of the thread to something like Remember When There May Have Been A Future For AM? Based on his record 3/4 FAPL seasons going down...

Remember when there might have been a future for McLeish? Very good.

Keeping him in charge now could only do more damage.

The only good thing to come out of tonight is that after the abuse he got, he definatley won't be our manager next season whatever happens.

Agree, i've gone from thinking if we did stay up Randy would probably keep him on to now thinking there's no way he can stay, it's just whether he goes tomorrow or at the end of the season.

Personally, he should be relived of his duties tonight and RL should cough up any compo from his personal account not out of the Club's P/L.

It simply cannot get worse as I can't see anything other than 3 defeats coming up and hoping for a miracle elsewhere.

I didn't want him here, yet I wanted to give him a chance because he had the balls to take the job in the face of all the flak.  ndeed theHowever he's proved that it's no coincidence that he's relegated two teams in three seasons (soon to be 3 in 4), because he is woefully inadequate in his job.  And for that, Randy and his Ginger chum have to take the blame.  They've caused this.

Indeed they have. The fault for this mess lies with Lerner period. No one else. The decision making at VP over the last three seasons has been a shambles.
