AVFC statement - McLeish sacked.

[danlanza]

Never liked that arrogant,self obsessed,chauvenistic twat anyway so i take anything that he says with a pinch of fuckall!

[Ian.]

Andy, it's not worth the risk. Another season of disheartened fans, dire football and many many draws. Stick to playing subuteo with your hairy hands pal.

[danlanza]

He is fatter and hairier than Bilbo Baggins!

[Steve kirk]

Andy Gray is such a TWAT and is not a true Villa man, just shut the fuck up Andy.

[Tony]

To be fair to Andy Gray, I can see what he's trying to get at. This was always going to be the difficult season, at the end of it we'll get rid of some high earners and then start rebuilding. The problem has been, McLeish has blown so many of the basics that we're in a situation we shouldn't be in. McLeish only has himself to blame if he misses out on the chance to get his hands on that rebuilding job, he should have sorted the set pieces situation out months ago.

[Brian Taylor]

Are they still in VP? Maybe watching the Spuds v Blackburn game?


The Mercury think he is on his way..certainly in close season!

That's just lazy writing from Gray, he should slink back off to talkshite

[Mister E]

I really don't get what Gray is trying to say, other than that he thinks McLeish can still do a job for us ... whhhat? Look at the stats; look at the unenviable records he's breaking this season; look at the ugly gameplay that we've suffered; look at the attendances.

I can only think this is either a wind-up to get people wrting  / emailing in.
Or, it's the Scottish mafia supporting their own.

[berneboy]

I am guessing that they have mutually agreed to part Company after the Norwich game.

I think so too. He may have offered to resign himself. He must know he can't carry on.
Who would want to in his position?

This bit from the Mercury article:

'Although there was no repeat of the angry scenes witnessed at Villa’s defeat by Bolton, where McLeish, his wife and children suffered venemous abouse from the terraces, supporters leaving the Hawthorns yesterday believed that the Villa boss should still go.'

I can't think of any abuse dished out to his wife and children on Tuesday.

[danlanza]

He was certainly very quiet yesterday,didn't look interested at all.He knows he is finished,i think.

If there was any abuse dished out to his wife and children then it's utterly embarrassing, it's not their fault and nobody should be turning on them.

How on earth would one identify McLeish's wife and children in the first place?

What a load of old bollocks. The Mercury really is a shite paper.

[villajk]

Exactly, paulie.

The fucking Muckraker, they can't help themselves can they?
