Just catching up and this was produced in last Thursday’s (26/4/2012) Daily Telegraph.

The mystery man on twitter know f@ck all and is just attention seeking. As for the other myster man, I'm not convinced he knows as much as he makes out either. Egos can be a big thing to feed.

If he's about to launch a new career, can I suggest that you don't open it but rather respect the finest tradition of such things ... and break it over the fucker's head instead!

If he's gone it might be worth cracking one off!

True, but his career is doing a fine impression of The Titanic nevertheless!

Hodgson to England.  Mcleish to Baggies.  Rogers to Villa.  Sound fair?

[Californian Villain]

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

Peter he is a Villa fan, you may not like it but he has allways been a Villa fan.

LOL, he supports Wolves!

Why would someone pretend to support one club and secretly support another? Get a grip.

Maybe you should ask him?

[Chipsticks]

Rumours are certainly starting to pick up, I'm getting genuinely excited. Preparing for the usual deflation as it turns out to be bollocks though.

[lovejoy]

Seroisly how many on these "insiders" stated Eck would be in charge more than a day before he was? Saying something over and over doesnt make it true no matter how much you want it to be.

[pauliewalnuts]

There were rumours earlier that Lerner and Faulkner had told him he was for the push at the end of the season, regardless.

Much as I like the idea of never seeing his misery-inducing "football" at Villa Park again, or hearing his pathetic, increasingly O'Learian excuses after the matches, to have done the above and left him in charge would be utterly stupid, in fact, I'm prepared it would be too fuckwitted for even our particularly fuck witted leaders to have done.

true, over his head it is

McLeish leaving tomorrow would make sense, in many ways.

1) It gives the team an entire week to train under the care-taker manager.
2) It avoids the 'McLeish Out' day against Spurs, which would be a publicity disaster for the board.
3) If there's a reason why it's been left this late, it's been the board waiting for us to be virtually safe. It'd be very unfortunate for us to go down now, they haven't got anything to lose.
