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.

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.
Pretty much the whole of the English football world was shocked by AM's appointment.
We may not be going through the best spell in our History but it was step up for him and a really good chance to show what he can do...and he's fucked up, big time.
I can't see any decent club wanting him, whatever league they're in.

Let's face it, coming 17th in the Premier is the equivalent of mounting a title challenge in Scotland.

The moves for his appointment and the subsequent protests even made News at Ten. I don't think Damon had anything to do with it either

Exactly. Collymore's a Villa fan no matter what the numpty's claim anytime he says something that goes against the grain on here.

Wow. He shouted once on radio when Villa scored. That's me convinced.

Yes, he is. There's no need for that cynicism PWS. I've already said that I'll ask about the reactions to the Holte.

I just said that hearing him shout on the radio convinced me.

Far more than being in the Holte a few feet away from him as he goaded us will ever convince me he isn't
