AVFC statement - McLeish sacked.

[batucada]

Why bother going to the match to protest? They dont take any notice. Simply dont go to the match. When the game is played in front of no Villa supporters they'll then get the message.

[PaulTheVillan]

The only way we'll get noticed is if we vote with our feet. Stay away.

[PaulWinch again]

If Randy truly is still backing him, he is the most incompetant buffoon I've seen in a long long time. On every possible level Mcleish is the wrong man for the job. Wake up Lerner, for fucks sake.

[PaulWinch again]

In fact keeping him is a complete slap in the face to the fans, who on the whole have been very reasonable.

[N'ZMAV]

How can McLeish get up this morning still believing he's the right man for this job. How can Randy still believe this? that's what worries me. If Randy still thinks this, then it shows he should no longer own, and be the the Chairman of this Football club.

[claret and blue blood]

The one thing which would have lifted our spirits on this dire morning would be to here those sweet words-"he's gone". Instead we here the after match Lerner-McLeish love-in. That indeed is the biggest slap in thje face Lerner could do!-Terrible !!!

[Bernie Gallacher]

Had to laugh at something my mate's 7 year old son said last night. He said 'Dad, Prince William is a Villa fan isn't he? Shall we ask him to ask the queen to chop McLeish's head off?

[Mazrim]

I said weeks ago they should have sent him packing and put KMac and Sid in charge. Most of this squad were their charges anyway and they know them inside out. There is no confidence in McLeish from the fans to the players so I see no reason for prolonging the agony.
The last thing we need is more dithering and dodgy decision making from on high. Decisive action, now.

It might be the shot in the arm required to pick up the one lousy win we need.
Everybody is wondering where the next point is coming from so what harm can it do?
I still think we'll limp over the line regardless but I'd rather be proactive and rid ourselves of this albatross immediately.

Oh for the days of a walk around Deadly's garden, and then to be shoved out the door with a rose bush up your arse.
What concerns me, is not only the Ginger twat going, but I honestly think the whole coaching set up, and I include  (reaches for tin hat), K. Mc and Sid going as well. K.Mc and Sid were part of last years set up and that was nothing to cheer about. There seems a total lack of football brains within the team, no leaders, no one to change our pace, our shape, when things are going wrong, these are things that can be trained into players, helps alot if it comes naturally, but can be trained into players.
If K.Mc and Sid are to be retained, I think they need to go back to what they were doing very well and that's training the kids, I don't think either are suited to the training and tactics required at the top level.

If RL was a tad oblivious to our plight then last night he would have been brought up to speed pretty sharpish.  So this morning he has a chance to act.  Stick with a manager who has a rock solid background of being unable to pull teams out of a nose dive  .i.e. AM stays we are down - or sack him and appoint somebody new, anybody it doesn't matter.   If RL takes no actions before the Baggies games then for me he can go.  There will be no trust or confidence left in the tank.

[VillaAlways]

I really don't understand how Mcleish is still in a job this morning.Lerner has absolutely nothing to lose in getting rid of him, as we all know we are largely relying on results below us.I believe keeping him in charge is putting the team under more pressure because of his history.Unfortunately Lerners ego is bigger than his concern for the club.

[VILLA MOLE]

Had to laugh at something my mate's 7 year old son said last night. He said 'Dad, Prince William is a Villa fan isn't he? Shall we ask him to ask the queen to chop McLeish's head off?

can we do that  I will check Hansard

[Cuz]

We need change McLiesh has been given a chance, he's been a disaster from the start get shot and lets move on, put Sid and KMac in charge for the last 3 games and regroup and let's get a win or 3. McLiesh let's face it had a hard task to win us over but now it's impossible he is on a hiding to nothing, Why the fook was he employed in the 1st place is a mystery.
We've been patient now time to get vocal

[WA Villan]

We have no leaders at this club at the moment.

[PaulWinch again]

I really think it's a case of fans stopping turning up to the games. I wouldn't normally advocate that, but it's really got that bad. Lerner clearly doesn't care what the fans think unless it hits him in the pocket. He genuinely appears to have no idea what's going on.
