I think he's already as good as gone.

I'm surprised SVC is not being more critical. Maybe having his own collumn in the matchday programme has something to do with it.

he is a parady of a journalist along with Robbie Savage I do not know how they get the work  >:(

By saying controversial stuff that attracts attention and gets people talking about them and their outlet - in this case talksport. Stan knows what the score is really, he's just doing his job.

well I guess people must buy into them then

We would be better off without him for the next three games

I think we would be, but the club clearly don't want to destabilise further for these three games. I really am hoping reading that he's gone in the summer whatever happens.

What is the logic in a vote of confidence for three games? What's the incentive now for am to win/draw the matches? if he thinks he's on his way he'll prob lose on purpose.

If he ain't good enough for next season then get rid now

That's what the Guardian thinks too

Yep they've read it exactly how I did. Although I don't think he's been given the three games to save his job, I think they are only keeping him because they don't want to destabilise(which I don't agree with).

Undoubtedly, a place or two higher up the league (potentially) without him could go towards the cost of his payoff too! However, I will clutch at the straws that seem to suggest that his managerial demise is imminent.

Doing his job is one thing, not being honest about the club you support to get people to ring up is another. I'm not sure i could do it.

I've heard him say on air several times that he supports Wolves. Is that what you mean ?

The Guardian has finally clocked that its not about where he came from, if the major papers start saying it then maybe the message has finally sunk in: clicky

Now that they've decided to put our Premier League future in the hands of the man who has got us 1 win out of the last 12 games, i suggest the club knock the cold calling enquiring about ST renewals on the head for the time being.

As I said earlier I want him gone, but I think some of the abuse is a bit much. He's a football manager, he shouldn't need a police escort out of the ground(which apparently he did). Other than blaming others for his mistakes, I don't have a problem with him personally and if I was offered the Villa job and a massive pay rise I'd take it. However he just isn't up to the job and should be gone, but really nasty personal abuse is uncalled for.

I've always had him down as a Villa fan and like i said earlier, he has a collumn in the match day programme. Besides, listen to him when we score and he goes beserk.
