AVFC statement - McLeish sacked.

[dicedlam]

The fans are coming out speaking their mind via protest, maybe the players should speak their minds too and revolt against McLeish?

And why would you think they would do that?
It seems to me that probably the majority of them dont give a toss who the manager is and to what failings he may have as a coach.
Its been said numerous times ''He's a nice guy'' maybe they like it that way?

Most players nowadays play for money. The club is irrelevant.

[andyh]

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 !!!!

Not renewing my season ticket until he's gone will be a rather more solid reminder to the board than standing up and shouting a few chants at the end of the match.

I'm certainly having a go at you, but, are you saying that you would prefer to stop doing something that is probably in your blood rather than stand up and shout that you don't agree with the way the club is being led and you want to see change ?

[lovejoy]

1 win in 15 says it all.

[Big Dick Edwards]

Listening to McLeish's post match interview, he doesn't think he's going anywhere. The ball is in Lerner's court now and he has to be decisive, either by sacking the manager immediately after the Norwich game, or backing him financially this summer. This season cannot be repeated or we will be relegated next season with crowds of under 30,000.

Randy/Faulkner will realise what needs doing if they don't already know when season ticket sales turn out to be very poor

[claret and blue blood]

I think if he's not sacked within 24 hours of the Norwich game he will be staying.
If that happens what can we do as fans? I haven't renewed our season tickets and I won't while he's there(told the club when I got THE phone call)
I just feel powerless to do anything while we watch our club go down the tubes.

[Hoppo]

The guy is useless but come on stop going down because of him! You dont protest by staying away. You make him aware he is shite. Great support today..

[LeeB]

Don't stop going down.

Just don't renew. The message will get through.

A Villa fan on You're on Sky Sports just suggested; Sven, Bruce or McCarthy to replace MacLeish

Shows how desperate we've become!

[mikeb1982]

I'll keep going down because a) I support the Villa and b) I like my seat and don't want to lose it when the good days come back.  I know of a lot of people who aren't renewing though, including a couple of guys who've had season tickets since the 80's, I think it will be a significant drop. 

Agreed great support today, we did what McLeish can't do and encouraged the side.  Good to see the North Stand giving it some as well, looked a right laugh down there with the yids

Wow.

But then a Villa fan on the BBC suggested we should sign Kenny Miller instead of Darren Bent in January last year. There are people with some strange ideas out there.

[The Situation]

I'll keep going down because a) I support the Villa and b) I like my seat and don't want to lose it when the good days come back.

Did you get value for money going to the home games this season? Yea I understand the whole die hard supporter aspect, but who is actually willing to spend their hard earned money to go to games and come away from thinking "that was fucking awful, I don't want to see us play negatively and for the draw, I want to be excited and see us play for the win".

I admire your persistence, but I won't be going whilst that clown is still manager. Home games are just too unbearable.
