Quote from: The OS

The manager hailed his players for showing determination and desire to earn the point against the Champions League-chasing aristocrats from the capital.

Tottenham? Oh do fuck off. It was not long ago that we were competing with them and whoever wrote that OS article thinks they are aristocrats?

Good grief.

How small time does that make us sound?

As I said that's just symptomatic of how clueless the club are when it comes to the fans. Morons are running the show, nothing more and nothing less.

Come on Paulie, you can't expect to host Tottenham and play for the win. Just be glad they let you share a pitch with them.

Well, we've survived by the skin of our teeth.  Where we go from here, god only knows, but things had better improve next season.  Starting with the sacking of McLeish asap.

It's up to Randy at the end of the day. If he wants poor ST sales, 30k crowds, fan disgruntlement and poor football, then stick with Mcleish.

We are getting just about 30K crowds counting all of the present season ticket holders. From what I can make out, there is going to be a massive hit on these numberts next season. I reckon you could be looking at some gates of low 20Ks next season if McCleish is still here.

have held my tongue all season until now. Absolutely appalling. I never want to see MY team in this position ever again. McLiesh and Grant have to go now, right now. We will go no where while these two remain. The best we played today was while Grant was sat down, as soon as he got up, the lads lost it totally. Yes it looks like we might need another season of transition but surely it is worth it to rid our club of this awful excuse of a management team. This is OUR VILLA, we, our future supporters and our ancestors deserve better. Go now UTV.

Didn't the Board say the season ticket numbers were right on track with previous years. I'm sure its just propaganda but the only way to speak to Randy is through money.

That is disgraceful. Not surprising our players our devoid of confidence. This defeatist attitude seems to be endemic throughout the whole club. Such crap from the PR dept makes me even more angry than the actions of our incompetent manager.

So Carlos is off, I wonder how many more players are on the phone to the agents wanting away when the season is over? I think a few players will be seeing what happens on the manager side after next week. If he stays, we could well see an exodus.

I reckon Bent will be gone to the first decent offer for sure. Gabby I am not sure, but bruised ribs in our last home game keeping him out seems a bit if a cop out to me. Delph must be possible to go. Warnock, Collins maybe.

I understand that some box holders asked about renewing after 5 years have told club - "not while mcLeish is at the club".

If Randy ignores the terrible football he surely will not ignore his investment and give this joke of a manager his P45 (plus a few million as compensation).

Well, if we end with him next season it's almost a case of getting up with what we deserve.
Today we had the chance to show the club how we feel about the manager, but other than a few half arsed chants at full time, most people sighed, shrugged and then left the ground.
If you can't be bothered to stay,stand up and let your feelings be known then dont moan next year when the twat is still here.
Apathy rules ok !!!!
