AVFC statement - McLeish sacked.

[Rip Van We Go Again]

Savage has just summed us up on Football focus.

'They have no pattern and seem to play like they've always got the handbrake on.'

[danlanza]

Just go please.

Thats very polite!

I like this from a blue nose

It all boils down to arrogance. For him to think that he could walk out of Blues and straight into Villa believing he would be successful is beyond belief given his brief in respect of available money. He has not the skill to be successfull in the premiership. He does not get that extra 10% out of players when it is needed. When he came to Blues, did he have the 'O'Neil' effect and keep Blues up? No. Nor did he keep us up last season with a much better squad. Ok we had a good run in his first full EPL season, but that was based on a good defence. And the  writing was on the wall then in respect of the goals we scored that season. 15 games undefeated yes, but not many goals and alot of draws. Last season, defensive frailties and not enough goals.... a good manager would have seen this and addressed it in the close season. Leaner has been good for Villa, investment has been undertaken and they went for the top 4. Fair Play to em for going for it... and realistically they only failed at the last leg. But that's gone and Villa now need to be realistic by firstly getting shot of their average championship manager.

[PaulWinch again]

Just leave.

[Irish villain]

I think we'd beat Spurs if he left. Get the Holte End rocking again. Send the youngsters off with a positive response from Villa Park.

[PaulWinch again]

It's a case of we are relying on others not to score and get results. If Sunderland hadn't got a draw we would be in massive trouble. I know we got a point but we're not getting ourselves out of trouble, it's others keeping us a float. Get him out of the club as soon as possible.

[Tom Sawyer]

McL to go... KMac to manage the kids against Spurs. That would do it, I reckon.

This for me is the only way Randy can start to redeem himself... as well as secure our premier league status in the process.

[Legion]

Cheeky...

[TaxDodger]

If we sack McLeish, perhaaps Hutton will go too. It would be worth sacking McLeish just for that.

[TheSandman]

I'm now in the John E camp. Looking at how subdued McLeish was on the touchline on today and in the pre-match interview it seems to me he knows that he is gone at the end of the season. I imagine that Lerner and Faulkner would have told him already.

[PeterWithesShin]

After that battling point today I think he needs more time.

please tell me you're being ironic?
