AVFC statement - McLeish sacked.

[ozzjim]

What we need, more than anything, is Chelsea, Sunderland, Spurs and Newcastle to all win at the weekend, then Spurs to follow that up with a win in midweek.

James Nursery just tweeted:

Regarding Paul Lambert of NCFC to AVFC there's been no contact from Villa but I have heard he would take Villa post if offered job.

What a load of rubbish.  Who on earth would he have made that statement to?  And without knowing anything about what money would be available, or even what division we'd be in?

It must be the way journalism works now. Take a story printed by a rival paper and pretend to know what's going on more than they do.

There's been no official contact, but I can confirm that James Nursey would say `ow' if I struck him with this wastepaper basket.

Absolutely, combined with us winning.

This seems a vaguely familiar concept but I'm having a bit of trouble remembering. What is this thing we're supposed to be doing again?

Nursey's strong journalistic skill is plagerism, with a dose of bullsh*t

Just seen AM on ssn talking about the match tomorrow. When he talks about 'the villa' it's as if he's talking past tense. Totally a dead man walking now

Whatever this board may be, they're still quick to respond to mass opinion. Tuesday night showed them it's not just a few idiots on the internet.

Would you go along with the theory it's now 'when' and not 'if', Dave?

There seems to be a general acceptance that things have gone past the point of no return now.  Of course, three cracking wins in a row would buy him some respite, but seeing as that's unlikely, I really do hope tha Lerner realises that he just can't go into next season with McLeish in charge.  Even if he wanted to be bloody minded about it, surely he'd realise that it's his own money that would be lost.

Sounds like fun. Do I need a copy of my driving licence and a utility bill?

If they'd responded to mass opinion last summer we wouldn't be in this mess.  Still, his money I suppose, up to him how he squanders it.
