AVFC statement - McLeish sacked.

Warley Wonder, Dazzy G, whatever you want to call yourself, you were talking bollocks. You didn't want him because of where he came from. That's very different to not wanting to watch his soul destroying football.

Garry Thompson today in the Daily Mail.http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-2135123/Garry-Thompson-Graham-Taylor-sorted-Aston-Villa-team-need-same.html

Fair comment. Especially the bit about his jacket.

I do miss Sir Graham. Randy could do himself a massive favour in relinquishing his role as Chairman and installing the great man to undergo a thorough clean up at the club. There's a lot of weeds in the garden.

The point I was making was about his style of play and not wanting him all those months ago I guess you were one of the fans saying i was talking s**t now I guess you too want him out? Or do you still think we are being harsh calling him a useless twat?

[VillaAlways]

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.

Again WW,you are talking like he was our number one candidate who we all thrilled to have and you somehow had this great insight into the situation.We had no choice but to give him a chance.It's called supporting the club.

You were barred from the site and only let back on for the entertainment value, I heard.

Yes I know all about supporting the club like many other fans but you didnt need a bang on the head to realise it wasnt going to work  - hello !!!!!

Thats correct I was barred for saying he was useless now look at the situation we are in. Was I really wrong in my opinion?

Nobody wanted him in the job. When he was appointed, most of us got behind him for the good of the club. Most of us wanted him to do well. Most of us thought it was a bit early to be giving him stick and sacking him in November, as it wasn't a fair amount of time to judge him. And finally, most of us could not give a shit where he came from.

How disappointed would you have been if it had worked ?

That's exactly the point. Many people were unhappy he was appointed, but once he was appointed he became the Villa manager. Therefore he deserved to be given the chance of a fresh start ignoring his poor record in the past. Most fans afforded him that chance and unfortunately he wasn't up to the task. He needs to go, but that doesn't change the fact we needed to give him a chance initially.

That Guardian article is spot on.

Its almost as if a Villa fan has hijacked the site and wrote it

It was never going to work I cannot believe any fan honestly thought that it would. His track record speaks volumes. How can a manager come third in the scottish premier when there are only two decent teams.

Poor record is a very big understatement.

If we had of sacked him in November maybe we would have been mid table or higher now?

Garry Thompson was spot on,he should write in the programme.
