AVFC statement - McLeish sacked.

[Dr.Feelgood]

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.

Your reporter behind the DougOut can report : NO mention of ANY reference to his wife & children. Why would we ?

[Holte L2]

Forgive me if you've heard this, but I just got a F'book notification saying
'to expect a statement from VP tomorrow' ?? Anyone know about this ??
The news we've all been waiting for ?? 

I've had a few texts this morning. Big rumours hes going to give notice tomorrow?

[PeterWithesShin]

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

The Rooney and collymore scenarios are totally different.

Deep breathes,      and let it go.......

I take it that's a no then John

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

Maybe collymore can add Albion to the list of teams he supports. He goaded their fans exactly the same way when we beat them 4-0 in the Cup.

So really, at best he is a casual 'fan' who doesn't overly care but if pushed would say he supported Villa?

And again, there is a massive difference between any of us in a fit of pique saying Villa are shit having spent our lives and spending small fortunes following Villa ,and collymore goading The Holte after scoring against us.

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.

I think the wording may be a little inaccurate but there is no doubt that the family would have suffered from the abuse. It is the Manager's wife and children that we are talking about. Alex McLeish's daughter was reported to have been in tears at Wigan after the stick that he got. Forget why people dished it out. The fact is that the family would have had to endure it. They were hardly going to join in with the booing etc.

"A little inaccurate" my arse.  There's a world of difference between his family being upset at the abuse McLeish got, and suffering the abuse themselves.  As well you know.

I think I would literally piss myself laughing if AM ended up at Albion if Woy gets the England job.

I bet that banner they were showing yesterday wouldn't get another airing.

If there is a Football God, please let this happen

for the life of me i cant see anyone looking at Mcleish and thinking 'yep, he's the man for us'

yeah, i know Randy did, but his stock has dropped even lower now

If McLeish is not managing in Scotland again by the start of next season, I'll be flabbergasted.

Maybe, when McLeish does get the push, Collywank can throw his hat into the ring and become a proper football person again. Waster.  Until then, he'll continue to be sycophantic because he wants to put his shit column in the matchday programme.  Any exposure is good exposure as far as he's concerned.

As for Andy Gray, pathetic article, completely misses the point.

I like Collymore. He never hides his colours in amongst all of those other Sky 4 loving gits.

Well to be fair unlike O'Leary who still fancied himself as a top flight manager after presiding over the 05-06 shambles I think McLeish will realise his limitations so either job back in Scotland or with a (smallish) struggling Championship side - there are always some sackings by about November.

Managers who leave Villa rarely go on to greater things and he will be the latest in a very long line. In fact other than SGT first time around I can't think of any in my life time.

Precisely.
