AVFC statement - McLeish sacked.

[Archbishop Herbert Cockthrottle]

You again The Rt Hon Sir Algernon Cockbiscuit  - I thought you had emigrated as it's been so quiet on here. Im really sorry that you feel the need to have a go on here now that your choice of manager has totally knackered up our club single handed.

You don't get it do you Darren?

Crickey, I feel like I've been chucked in a kaleidoscope with all that quoting.  My head hurts now.

Apology accepted, ZoggyAlways.

Nobody 'wanted' him.  But once he got the job, what do you do?

Option 1 is to support him and the club and hope it works out.

Option 2 is to bitch from the outset, mainly to the detriment of the club as a whole, and then languish in the glory of being proven right.

What gets me about the 'I told you so' crowd is their love for the club is so great, they feel their time is best spent reminding us all how they saw it all coming as opposed to offering siggestions for a new manager, discussing how we can get the necessary points from the remaining games or debating the larger and longterm future of the club.  Having said that, if they did I could imagine it being "Anyone but McFuckStain", "Minus 3 unless we sack McCuntyBollocks" and "We don't have one unless McWankPants is sacked, sued and then we bring a criminal prosecution."

Maybe if fans who don't agree or even think that us "told you so crowd" were wrong in our opinion had simply kept their opinions to themselves rather than having a go at us fans who did not think the appointment was correct (which we are almost being proved right) then this whole sorry chapter need never have happened. Why can't fans (like me) give an opinion without being ridiculed just because we have very very strong opinions rather than just accepting that we have to live with the fact the he is the manager. If we have something to say we will say it whats wrong with being honest? There are too many doo gooders in this world and where does that get you?

So you're saying that if nobody disagreed with you things would be better?  And nobody had a go at you because you didn't agree with the appointment, they did, and continue to do so, because you express it in idiotic anti-Blues sentiment.

And you can't give an opinion without being ridiculed as all the opinions you give are ridiculous.

Apology accepted and thank you Zoggy.

I made all the points I wanted to make on this thread a long time ago. I just have nothing to add. Oddly, the worse our plight gets the less interested I am in our managerial situation. It's like I now just want people to get behind the team, as though we can somehow bypass the guy on the dugout and just form a relationship with the players to push them over the line for the good of the club.

As soon as we're safe, I think mass protests would then be in order as the manager simply must be removed.  Until then, this is a might battle and it's more important than anything we've gone through in a very long time. Hugely significant for the long-term future of the club.

Well said Irish.

Wm Hill will take bet that as a double that McL will go and Villa get relegated 21/1. They won't include losing games as a treble.
I put a small bet on, cos I never win but half the ebt I'll think about as a single tomorrow!

wish i saw it last night i put 50 on at 6-1 for us to go. could only find odds for mcfuckwit to be in charge first game which were 1-4 on.

[Mister E]

May have been said earlier but the Guardian are now speculating that McL is on the slide toward redundancy - McLeish's days look numbered

Look at Oddschecker.com for prices. 7/2 on being 1st manager to go this season. If we lose against Baggies I can't see him lasting.

I lost my last shred of sympathy for McLeish on Tuesday when he said we conceded soft goals. We've been conceding soft goals all season long, I saw stats today claiming we're the only team not to score from a corner and have the joint highest record of conceding from corners. All season this has been going on and with three games to go he states the blindingly obvious, didn't he notice before?

He should not have a future here, he had a chance and has blown it by not being able to get the basics right.

[Sister of Top Cat]

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.

Wrong.  For the duration of the game we have to unite and get behind the team.  What happens on 90 minutes is another matter entirely.

[Legion]

Very well said.
