AVFC statement - McLeish sacked.

[ozzjim]

Apparently, according to the journalists on twitter, Randy and PF met Eck in the tunnel, banned tv cameras and are still backing him.

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.

Yup.

How empty was that Proud History, Bright Future nonsense? We couldn't even get the basics right.

Who gives a f*ck!

Im more concerned about the future of Aston Villa.

Randy, Sack Mcleish, Sack Faulkner and then do us all a favour and SELL!

[OzVilla]

I hated DOL - still do to some degree.  I hated the way he belittled us as a Club, I hated the way he always gave us the feeling that the job was a little beneath him, I hated the way he surrendered in matches (it'd never happened before), hated the way he knew feck all about our history as a Club, just hated the arrogant prick.

AML, although i'm sure is a nicer bloke, is actually doing more damage to us in 1 year than DOL ever did in 3 years. 

I never thought i'd see the day when a Manager achieved that.

[Mazrim]

Drunk, annoyed and  hoping this man is gone in the morning.

Na night.

[Moorski]

Lerner has let the Club down fact!

If you could write a textbook on how not to run a football club (or any business for that matter) simply look at how Lerner has run Villa these past three years.  There's been no leadership, no joined up thinking, no discernible strategy, no clear communication with the people that matter (us).  It has been an utter shambles.  The thing is everyone with half a decent brain could see this slow car crash unfolding before their eyes.  I've had a look at a few Browns forums and it is exactly the same there, with fans venting exactly the same concerns and exactly the same frustrations with his ownership "style".  What on earth is the guy doing?  What is going on in his head?  Every last drop of credit in the bank has gone for me as far as Randy goes, he is totally out of his depth.

Fortunately I was in a pub outside the British Museum only following the game via Twatter. Spoke to my lad who's had a chat with Stanley Victor this evenunb in the Upper Holte and he said it was desperate.

I am still numb at the thought of where we are now. The Proud History days seem so far back now, its like a different world entirely. Remember mocking the Geordies in their demise and how we laughed at them appointing Pardew.  Randy has made  the biggest fuck of his "sporting" career and I don't trust him in sorting any of this out

Emptier than the emptiest vacuum.  That fraud Krulak is using the exact same slogan at his college in the US.  His whole involvement was nothing more than cynical spin and PR.

What he's using the Proud history slogan.

Jesus, I'm afraid to say I got totally suckered in on that one.

Randy looked at the figures,appointed carrot head and then gave him his guidelines.Unfortunately financial restraint and football don't work well together.
However just as in other industries , if you neglect to properly maintain your assets [in this case the player squad] then things start to break down or stop working altogether and in the long run cost you more in lost revenue.
AM should carry the can but Randy and his inadequate side kick should also be shouldering some of the blame.Possibly some of the players to.However first out of the door should be AM. Bet the noses are pissing themselves.

If McLeish is still in charge tomorrow afternoon we're down, it's as simple as that. Sadly I think either our owner doesn't care or is too stubborn to make the change.

They're having a collective wet dream over on SHA.  They've got more threads about us than we've got about McLeish!

If true we are really fucked.

[OzVilla]

I don't blame them, this is their most perfect of perfect scenarios.  There lives revolve around us.

Just think, SHA could get promoted, we could get relagated and Chelsea could win the Champions League.
