AVFC statement - McLeish sacked.

[Risso]

Around this time he also came out with the classic 'we'll finish 4th...er, i mean 5th, my hand slipped' comment and as Risso might recall, he more or less offered somebody out on VT.

My opinion of him just went up

Yes, but it WAS Risso.
He threatened to shake him about like a rag doll.

Fucking hell, you could have sold tickets for that

Sadly for you Damon, I never had so much as a cross word with The General on VT.  You'll have to indulge your homoerotic fantasies elsewhere I'm afraid.

[KevinGage]

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.

He's just gutted the Wolves have gone down, I'd pay no heed.

Regarding this statement, I'd rather they just say nothing than come out with such patronising shite.

Literally the only good thing about it is that now my hopes of survival have been killed off I can begin the process of convincing myself I don't care, so that by the time we're sent down I'll just be numb to it all.

[TonyD]

They don't give a shite.   Get down and support the team the last 3 games but please DO NOT buy a season ticket or so much as a fucking calender until these guys wise up or feck off.

Avoid talksport around 8 oclock,seems like they're gonna be blaming us,just heard that tool Saggers say' they wanted Houllier and O'Neill out,will they ever be happy'.  We've endured our worse home run in history,and its taken the last week in April for McLeish to finally get some grief,he's been very lucky.

[Risso]

What did Faulkner say on Talksport just after 6pm?  The radio in the car decided to lose its signal, then when it came back on they had a Villa fan responding, saying he didn't want to swear on live radio, so I imagine it wasn't good.

you cant moan saying the club never says anything, then when they do complain because you dont like what they say.

they cant say much else really with the situation we are in

There's a middle ground between saying nothing, and spouting shite which just further enflames the situation.

He said that despite all the misfortune Mcleish has had to contend with not once has he complained plus basically what was in the statement

They could say we are sorry we hired the clown and now have taken the decision to get rid.
I keep checking to see whether the board have done the right thing hourly without success yet.Come on Randy do the right thing.

yeah yeah , come on Risso,
 you know that whatever they said it wouldnt be good enough, unless it was 'weve sacked Mcleish' which will happen at the seasons end anyway

Is sadly true John, damned if you do and damned if you don't.
But it's an indicator of the 'them Vs us' mentality we've had to resort to.

 And that IS their fault.

Good grief.  The only 'misfortune' McLeish has 'suffered' is being given another Premier League job after relegating the same team twice.  I honestly think that the real Faulkner and Lerner must have been abducted and replaced by malevolent Blues fans lookalikes.  Nobody could be THAT stupid and THAT negligent really, could they?

I just wanted them to say 'Aston Villa football club have parted company with Alex McLeish '

[Ad@m]

Hopefully that statement is the standard vote of confidence which historically has always preceded a sacking.
