AVFC statement - McLeish sacked.

[PaulWinch again]

DC5, do you honestly believe Mcleish has done a good job this season with Villa? I appreciate you seem to speak to him a bit, but I just can't see anything he's done that justifies him keeping his position.

"You have sat too long here for any good you have been doing. Depart, I say, and let us have done with you. In the name of God, go"

Oi! That's already been done

[Stu]

If McLeish stays then Aston Villa Football Club, will not have a penny more out of me whilst he is in charge.

I will not renew my season ticket to watch that rubbish again next season!

If there is going to be some sort of protest  then, I think that on Sunday no matter what the score...in the 81st and 82nd minutes the crowd should tell Mcleish exactly what they think of him. (81 we won the league, 82 the European Cup).
We need to keep the pressure on him! and on Lerner and Faulkner and leave them in no doubt that we want this man out of our club!

Fair enough for withholding your money, but what is all the other stuff about 81/82 minutes? Its a bit over-dramatic don't you think? If you want to let them know what you think then you've already explained the best way to do it - don't spend in merch and tickets. Wait until full time to give out the abuse if that's what you want to do.

Capello? I wonder?

He's trying his arm for the Chelsea job.

I just heard the funniest thing.  I just got an e-mail from my brother who tells me a baggies fan at his work placee genuinely believes that they have a good chance of getting capello as their next manager!  LMAO!  Deluded twat

If you leave it till full time both Faulkner and Lerner will not be in the stadium to hear any sort of protest from the fans ....and McLeish will have legged it down to the tunnel area, not to appear again!!

Then they will say to themselves not much of a protest was it!!

And how many supporters are going to hang round after the full time whistle to protest, most leave well before the end!

[PeterWithe]

He's not the only Villa manager not to have won the league or the European Cup in 30 years. I say boo him out, get behind the team for the game then damn the fellow's eyes, strip the britches from his backside and warm his heels to Putney Bridge.

He's in for a shock when Steve Bruce rocks up then.

Paul. I've only spoken to him twice as it happens. Normally, I am one of the first to slag a manager so I have been a bit hypocritical on here occasionally. I tend to support the underdog but this is not the only reason that I have supported Alex McLeish. I just think that, with a few decent signings and continuation of use of our better reserve players, we can come good next season.
It does not answer your question but it is my gut feeling. Changing a manager does not necessarily work for the best.

[danlanza]

That's a fair comment Dave.We have had horrendous injury problems and a lot of bad luck.It may be worth waiting to see what happens during the summer, but if things don't improve very early next season then he has to go i think.

Of all the ones to support...

[PaulWinch again]

That's fair enough Dave, absolutely entitled to your option. Personally I disagree as I think he's done a horrible job and largely nothing right, and I just feel if they back him they're throwing good money after bad. I think we'd be much better with a clean slate and a progressive attacking manager.

[Dave]

Changing a manager does not necessarily work for the best.

Quite.

Like when you were really vocal about wanting O'Neill to be sacked.

[PaulWinch again]

I'll also add sometimes changing the manager does make a huge change. If ever there was a case for it it's now, Mcleish hasn't even met my very low expectations of how bad he would be.

He has mine...
