AVFC statement - McLeish sacked.

[Californian Villain]

If you support somebody, physically you are taking their weight. If you rely on them, you are placing weight on their shoulders. It's a telling difference. They are indicating that it's up to AM to take the burden.

Does that mean he's going to get the sack?

I think it means the statement was scrawled out on the back of an empty fag packet without any kind of thought....so scrutinizing it this closely is meaningless really. In essence the statement says they won't be removing the manager before the end of the season, rather they'll be crossing their fingers and hoping for the best....as they have been doing for ages now.

The blame lies firmly at RL's door.   Anybody with an ounce of football sense could see this situation coming a mile off when he appointed one of the most negative and hapless managers in the modern game.   What he does in the next 48 hours may well shape the next decade of our club.  Sadly I think he will do nothing.   

Have you seen the club statement He's already made his choice

[JUAN PABLO]

Right now everyone connected with Villa is hurting badly.

A win was in sight last night against Bolton after a strong start and the tenacity the team displayed, although ultimately we weren't able to hold on for the points.

In other words , the manager could not handle Kevin Davis when he came on , as he is tactical  clueless

I've just emailed PF with a copy of that statement saying that its BS and isn't how we feel.
(I know it's no use and it won't be read but surprisingly I feel a little better for doing it)

Please pm me with PF's email address.
Done

Thank you so much.

I've got McLeishs email, its been quite a temptation to write to him whilst drink has been taken but I've resisted so far on the basis of my wife and kids quite like having a roof over their heads.

Almost as bad as what SVC said earlier.

I was really disappointed in what Stan said aswell.

I one good thing from today is I am pretty confident that no matter what he is gone at the end of the season, because I was really worried they were contemplating keeping him next season.

What did Collymore have to say then?

[JUAN PABLO]

I can't believe what I have just heard from Paul Faulkner on TalkSport:-
Not once has Alex Mcleish complained about the misfortune he has had to encounter this season

not once did he mention the pile of shite the fans have had to put up with .

[Legion]

What did Collymore have to say then?

Words to the effect of that Villa fans have never accepted McLeish because of his Blues connections and that if he won 10 matches on the run with us, we'd want to know about the 11th.

[Rip Van We Go Again]

The twat of a presenter on WM has just been on Midlands Today saying that the club statement will pacify Villa fans.

[Californian Villain]

What did Collymore have to say then?

Yeah, I'd like to know that too?

bollocks , I said earlier , If Blose had finished 5 or 6th two seasons running , I would have been happy with him .


IT IS HIS NEGATIVE CRAP HE PRODUCES

Just read it now.

What a pair of utter clueless wankers.

[SteveD]

I'm pacified. I've been to Peterborough before and the beer in town is excellent.

Ta.

There has been an element there from the start but now the support has turned against him en masse and I don't see a way back, unless of course he starts winning lots of football games in an entertaining style.

[JUAN PABLO]

Looking at the table again .  That is scary , and we all knew this could happen .

Except the board ..    McCLEISH OUT !!!!!!
