AVFC statement - McLeish sacked.

[Legion]

I guarantee he is a Villa fan.

Still waiting to know why, if he's such a Villa fan he goaded the Holte when scoring for the dippers and wasn't exactly reserved after scoring for Forest at VP either.

Good question. I'll ask.

Rooney kissed his badge in front of Everton supporters, but there is no doubt he is a Everton supporter

[PeterWithe]

As did Lescott

Do you think Ian Taylor would have goaded the Holte after scoring?

The Rooney and collymore scenarios are totally different.

Regarding Gray and Collymores articles we have to remember in the main football people look after their own such as McLeish. However there is no doubt in my mind that McLeish is finished at Villa just look at all the stats regardless of bad luck and injuries this season has been an unmitigated disaster.

It is also confirms his managerial limitations. I do not accept for one minute that no matter who was in charge we would have been in the same or similar position. We simply should not be sat on 37 points with 2 games to go it is an absolute disgrace.

 Therefore the Executive team have to take the view that this was the wrong appointment despite the endorsements.

Anyone that had £200m or whatever invested would take no more risks they (I assume RL and PF) are going to have to re-visit their business model but they will make a change and have to come up with a new offer to attract the right candidate.

For the first time I am convinced McLeish won't be here next season. I doubt he'll go before the end of the season but everything points towards him going as soon as the season ends.

Is Mc Leech a Villa fan ..?  He could kiss my arse ...

[hawkeye]

It would be remarkable if he was to survive, it is likke the scenes against Bolton had to happen. It could be the perfect end to the season The Villa stay up and Mcliesh goes.

[Rip Van We Go Again]

I'm still convinced that once we're safe, he'll be giving it the big 'un about how well he's done in the face of injuries, hostile fans, yadda, yadda.....

yes it is a no, Taylor would never do that he is a true Villa legend,
 Collymore is not a Villa legend and Rooney is not a Everton legend but they do support Villa and Everton respectivley
they are allowed,
 i have been known quite recently on many occastions to call Villa a load of shit and worse, but i do still support them

[Mister E]

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.

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

It would help if they could spell "venomous".

It's open-season on Villa fans and when McLeish leaves he can claim he was 'hounded out' by those who objected to his Bloose connections. It makes it easier for him to deal with the rejection.
