According to mysteryman (don't know if it's the real one) on twitter, McLeish has been called into THE meeting today.

The same Mysteryman who said that no way on earth would McLeish be appointed?  That Mysteryman?

[villajk]

No idea.  Just reporting what I'd seen tweeted.  No doubt complete bollox of course.

What meeting is this today then?

I think he'll be gone by tomorrow

So two more potential glorious draws, to add to his CV, in the offing? No resting on laurels now; then there are no laurels to rest on!
If Randy has money to invest in the summer, and a big if, is he going to allow McL to spend it for him? Randy has got what he wanted out of him; just, at the fans expense. Now it is time for Randy to give back something to those fans he has insulted over the past year...or indeed, also, go and let someone who knows something about the game take the reins!

After watching his post match interview yesterday I'm more convinced than ever that he was told his future last Tuesday night.
I'm no expert on body language but the McLeish we saw yesterday just looked as if he'd rather be shopping with Mrs. McLeish than giving that interview.

I still think a new manager would give everyone a lift at the club and have the same impact a couple of signings would.

To quote the old adage, 'Something Must Be Done', as it can't go on like this.

A different (fake) one.

Wm Hill removed 'First Manager to go' bet. have they 'closed the book'? Paddy Power offering 5-2 down from 7-2 yesterday.

Has anyone on this message board ever been sacked by their boss and then asked to complete a project that's vital to the survival of the company? Neither has McLeish.

Oddschecker only has Paddy Power running that book and they still have Redknapp as favourite to leave his job next with the odds on McLeish drifting.

Just a matter of time now before he goes, there is no way he will a) want to continue b) be trusted
Must be horrible for him

Yeah, horrible, must be ..... the weather isn't good today is it?

Looks like a manager in name only now. MacDonald was the one losing his rag against Bolton and McLeish taking a back seat, so to speak, against Albion.

Goes with the £2m a year territory.
