AVFC statement - McLeish sacked.

[Irish villain]

He becomes even more of a joke every week. There are surely better ways to dodge a question than to say something so fucking idiotic. What do you do when somebody is between you and where you want to go? You switch places. Has any other manager gone to the Hawthorns and encountered a similar problem? No, they sat in the other seat. Then again, he tends to sit more than other managers. I've noticed that all season.

Did it not spring to mind that swapping seats might solve that A-Level standard conundrum. Is there any other profession where someone so thick can earn so much money?

[Bad English]

I think he has realised that the game is up and will hang on for the pay off.

And here was me thinking McLeish was going to walk off into the distance like Captain Oates.

[VILLA MOLE]

do you think if  I park my car on his drive he will find it too much of a chore to go to work at Villa and send us down

[newtonsballs]

"I may be some time." If only!

[citizenDJ]

McLeish said something like "we have two games to go and if we win them both then that's six points".
I actually think he's not very well.

Holy smokes, he's right! He could be onto something here!

Dear Alex

Scoring more goals than the opposition = 3 points

Hope this helps.

I'm sure he won't be the last manager to fall foul of the famous Hawthorns Chair Maze. I can see him and Grant sketching out possible solutions on their notepads, a la the 'Fox, Hen, Bag of Grain' puzzle.

Bluenoses generally thought we wouldn't stand for his crap as long as they did. Its taken less than a year. Credit to us.

[Toronto Villa]

I don't think he's been told it's all over as much as they dropped several hints and he's taken a week to put the puzzle together. His press conferences now are literally all over the place and not remotely as assured as they were back in August or September. When the club feel compelled to release a statement of dissatisfaction the metaphoric finger has been pointed squarely at the manager. My impression is that it will be swift and done in a way to save face for McLeish. He'll get his dough and likely walk right into another job soon after.

I expect him to turn around next week and wonder to himself for several minutes when he signed Sandro and Defoe.

Read this on the bbc tms thingy after the match;

Aston Villa manager Alex McLeish: 

"I have had to show my experience and leadership and that has come to the fore. I will not curl up and die. I will persevere to the end as I always have done"

Clearly he can convey this leadership whilst sat down...

[The Left Side]

What a f-ecking coward he is, not wanting to get out of his seat... he is the so called boss, he should have told Grant to move over!

[ozzjim]

He needs a chat with Capello over how to shift your useless assistant manager from his seat!
