AVFC statement - McLeish sacked.

[PeterWithe]

I'm still clinging to the thought that we were sly enough to have put a clause in his contract saying '40 points or you get the spanish archer and fuck all beside'

[Phil from the upper holte]

It's tempting but I think I'll drink it then hit him, I don't want to waste it

[cdbearsfan]

"The Spanish Archer"? Who's that, I don't listen to radio soaps?

[TonyD]

I think he is going tomorrow.

[not3bad]

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?

A Tweet from Stan Collymore:

"Who do i support? No ambiguity whatsoever.Aston Villa FC,since the age of 4. Want teams I've played for to do well,just not against Villa"

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.

Also they are three good reasons why it could just be a feasible rumour, no?

Spanish Archer = El Bow.

[villajk]

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.

I know a few people who did.

[Irish villain]

I think he is going tomorrow.

Based on the rumours or heard something additional?

Most definitely. I'm not saying that I necessarily think it'll happen; I'm just saying how it would make sense if it did happen.

[Tom Sawyer]

McLeish resigning tomorrow doesn't make much sense. He would surely hang on for his severance bonus... he is a proud man and has said today that he won't roll over... Randy wouldn't want him humiliated that way, especially as he put so much of his own reputation on the line for McL... I'd be happy to be proved wrong though.

Isn't it ambiguous that he said from age 7 in that clip Legion posted earlier? You'd think he'd remember!

Stan Collymore, what a pious cu*t. He spent the whole shift trying to dig out Villa fans to call him today spouting his nonsense about loving Aston Villa and he would have civil war if those that called disagreed with him.

One question Stan, any chance of you returning the money from the club you love that you took whilst suffering depression after beating up a woman in a pub?

Horrible creature.

It'll be a fudge when it happens anyway. Randy won't sack him per se and he won't resign, it will be a 'mutual consent' thing that spares both their blushes (well, up to a point anyway!)
