AVFC statement - McLeish sacked.

[Concrete John]

Warnock - 'personaly i feel we are not far of battering a team '

  LOL

Yeah I had to chuckle, I'm not sure what on earth he's basing that on. We barely score any goals.

I think he's just trying to instill a bit of much needed confidence in everyone.  You could say he has a point based on the Bolton game as we totally bossed the first half and missed some good chances.

A totally undeserved 1-0 with it deflecting off Hutton's arse will do me fine though!

Doug claims that the game is about players not managers!

Just one question for our Doug then.... why did you sack so many Managers?

Lerner and Faulkner have phoned Doug and asked him to do some positive PR for McLeish! what a joke.

Just wait until the Summer if McLeish is still here they will be telling us how well season ticket sales are going, the players we are after...it is all bullshit! - they have made a massive mistake and they know it!

Good article.Nice to see that the author says we should have been safe well before the injuries hit

"Whereas his fellow Scot, Steve Kean, has endured such vilification all season at Blackburn, Villa's crowd had resisted openly venting antipathy towards McLeish, apparently willing to suppress their misgivings as long as the team kept a respectable distance between themselves and the bottom three."

Stan Collymore should read this after his "if Villa won 10 in a row the fans would want to know where win No. 11 was coming from" bollocks.

Exactly, we've been very very patient. I don't think there is another club where the fans would have put up with the rubbish we've been served up for so long.

I have to agree with this. The team were clapped off at half time but another let down was the last straw for many people. Once the floodgates had opened that was it.

That's right, think about the whinging that's come out of Old Trafford about the Glaziers (still won the Champions League though), the whinging that Wenger has put up with at Arsenal earlier this season (will easily finish 3rd), the boos that MON had at Sunderland the other week (they've had a great run initially) and the abuse that Hodgeson took at Anfield last season (certainly no worse than anything KKK has achieved). 

The media never seems to report this however according to them we don't like AML because he's ex-Blose!

I appreciate that most of the Clubs aboves expectation levels are far higher but we also don't expect the be batteling relegation having won one in 13 and only once at home in 6 months.

Under the circumstances, I think the Villa support has been extremely patient compared to others.

Since the game Tuesady, i've wondered a couple of times if Mcleish would still be here if Bolton had gone on to score another couple of goals.

[WarleyWonder]

Mcleish now officially the worst manager ever on home form and yet he still has not been sacked? Can we do any worse with a tempoarary manager? The players would surely fight tooth and nail under someone else's guidance for the last three games.

We all have to unite and give him s**t against Spurs to make him fully aware how we all feel. Even the fans who said give him a chance are now finally fed up with him.

[N'ZMAV]

He will leave this Summer. I wasn't convinced before, but I am now. I'm fucking sure of it.

[Ads]

I agree.

Whatever happens, these are the last three games McLeish will have in charge of our club.

[philthebar]

Only just got home from Tuesday's debacle.

I have been saying that he should have this summer and the first 2 months of next season before we can rightly and objectively judge. 

I was wrong.

The only reason he should stay until the end of this season is so that if we go down we can't be accused of doing a Wolves and would we debate.  As soon as our status is confirmed, he should go.

we have every chance of not being relegated, and that is the most important thing with just 3 games left, so i say support the team and lets try and get over the line.

no amount of protest will make any difference now, Mcleish will be a gonner at the end of the season, i would think that decision has already been signed sealed and ready to be delivered.

[James]

I thought that last night but I wasn't sure, the statement was ambiguous and Doug's shite comments today don't help either. I'll believe it when I see it. We'll see what Randy does on May 14th. I still think staying up or going down might influence it!

[WarleyWonder]

What is really p**sing me off is the amount of fans who not so long ago were having a pop at fans like me who didn't want him to to be given the job in the first place. It was obvious it wasnt going to work but no some fans thought we were talking b**locks and look where we are now.

This is my worry.The board wouldn't have dared write we fully support Mcleish now and for the foreseeable future, given the current situation,the backlash would have been horrific.I am not fully convinced he will be gone in the Summer.
