I just want him out of the club. On a personal level, aside from his tendancy to shift the blame to all other areas, I don't have a problem with him. I'm sure he's not an unpleasant person and once he was offered the job(which was a ludicrous decision) I don't blame him for taking it. He was offered a pay rise and the chance manage a big club.
I don't wish him any harm, and anybody who does has completely lost all sense of reality. However he just isn't up to the job and needs to go, it's the best option for all parties concerned. The club will improve under a different manager, and it can't be particularly nice for him knowing how unpopular he is. He'd not be under so much personal stress if we wasn't in the job. So whether its Alex or Randy who makes the decision, he needs to go and we need a new manager.

This.

I saw on twitter yesterday a pic of mcleish holding a gun to his head with the slogan "just do it".  I thought it was bad taste.  Yes we dont want him as our manager and he has proved his is, well, rubbish but some of the abuse his gets on a personal level is a tad bit harsh.

read something earlier that if McLeish manages to do the Birmingham double he would be the only manager in the history of world football to take the 2 major clubs of a major footballing city down in successive seasons.

shocking statistic.

I'd have thought that statistic above was only notable as most reasonable owners would't look twice at a manager who had taken their neighbours down the previous season

We see that as a disgraceful stat but the media pay no attention to it and still think he is doing a decent job.

Exactly.The reason why it has never happened is that no other owner in their right minds would have employed a manager who had just relegated their rivals.It's highly unlikely it will ever happen again

agreed. someone said it the other week on here. 2 consecutive empty Villa Parks would see him out the door. Too late for that now, but given the plight, maybe that should have been voiced into some kind of reality instead of the ineffectively organised protests and the idea of a McLeish Out Day.  It probably would of got him sacked.

The usual BULL ... I just wrote this to (door?) MAT @ B'ham Mail - (I am so p###ed off with the CRAP they talk ...)

Mat : It IS time for You to be a REAL journalist - STOP regurgitating the rubbish PR sent out from Villa Park & tell it how it REALLY is ! They'll not lock you out & you will gain the respect of your (Villa) readers ! "Alex McLeish vows" is the latest TRIPE we are fed. Fans are NOT idiots , but we ARE treated with contempt. The club is heading for relegation because of this man's incompetence. You know it, we know it - WRITE IT , please !

GET HIM OUT -- NOW !!

I'm struggling to think of what the criteria for him to get sacked needs to be in the eyes of the board, but surely if we do get relegated then he HAS to go.

Last night was horrendous, and the vast majority of the season has been both embarrassing and abysmal. He has clearly proven that he is a consistently terrible manager and I'd be surprised if anyone else was mentally deficient enough to give him another managerial job once he finally gets the boot.

The Quote SHOULD read " WE HAVE TO RALLY THE FANS & PREPARE THEM FOR THE NEXT MANAGER" ....
