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.
... and no celebration at the end, like at the end of the Stoke game.

What was there to celebrate? Another point closer to safety courtesy of Hutton's handball on the line?

A point in an away derby he'd normally be jumping around like a monkey on speed.

Our only chance is to sack him and put KMc in charge, he will at least try to win a game.

Problem is, we are fucked, the whole squad is drained of confidence and we are now relying on other teams to be even shitter than us.

Whilst ordinarily, I'd be glad to hear PF and RL had decided to get shot of this idiot at the end of the season, if they've told him already, with points still to play for, they're even bigger morons than i thought they were when they hired him in the first place.

I get the feeling after what happened with Kmac last time him taking over and then not getting the job.I don't think Randy want's to put him in that position again and possible be in charge should we go down.

Nah... we're not fucked yet. Maybe we could beat Norwich? Can't see us doing Spuds though... a draw at best there.

Just keep your fingers crossed that it doesn't cost £500 to set up camp!

Hasn't he been sacked yet?

I didn't watch the game - I couldn't bear to.  But instead I ended up watching Soccer Saturday whilst curled up in the foetal position, letting out a little bit of wee each time they went to the Hawthorns.

This isn't how supporting Villa is meant to be.  I wish the season finished today.
