AVFC statement - McLeish sacked.

[Steve kirk]

anybody else wait till 5.00pm and fire up the laptop for a squint through one half closed eye at Sky sports centre only to see Wigan 4 Newcastle 0 ?
Absolutely desperate times !

I stayed away from the whole game then put the telly on and watched scores coming across the bottom of the screen, the Wigan result shook me a bit but seeing West Brom with 0 after it made me feel slightly better.   

[Risso]

McLeish definitely has that "dead man walking" air about him.  Still, if we do stay up, his reputation won't be completely in tatters, and the pay off will be quite nice I suppose.

[D.boy]

If they do get rid then I won't have much sympathy, not when he will be sat counting his millions. What other job pays you several million pounds for being a failure?

[pauliewalnuts]

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.

The thing is, that isn't true, is it?

We have the points on the board, the teams below us don't.

We could quite easily not take another point now and still stay up.

Don't get me wrong, we are far from safe, but we are also far from fucked.

Prime Minister?

Prime Minister?

Cameron is on around £200,000 per year, I'd say mcleish's wages would be 10 times that

[mr underhill]

i want him gone but why are so many convinced he's already been handed his P45? With such a real theat of relegation wouldn't keeping him as a dead man walking be an unbelieveably risky strategy for survival? Just a thought.

Makes you wonder why Wigan are down there?

They've been beyond shit all season up until the last month.

Bankers!

[Mazrim]

I'm quite convinced he's a goner.

[Monty]

I'm quite convinced he's a goner.

Thing is, he should be a goner now. There's absolutely no use an obvious lame duck sitting in the dugout while the players sleepwalk through games, possibly to relegation. Our best chance of getting results in the last two games is without him in charge.

I agree completely.

Perhaps it's a dignity thing with Lerner: "I'll keep you to the end of the season, Alex, and then we'll agree to reluctantly part company. Paul will give you the brown envelope and you'll agree not to say anything bad about me."

Just what the fuck is this bloke on.
He stayed sat in the dugout because he was in the middle and it was too hard to get past Grant?
Does he take everyone for raving fucking imbeciles.
Take responsibility! Stop spouting absolute and total bollox you stupid, fucking wanker.
