AVFC statement - McLeish sacked.

[Ad@m]

I'm hoping that McLeish's comments in interviews are just to make sure he gets his payoff.

Despite the venomous hate endured this season, AM has always conducted himself with the utmost professionalism and dignity befitting a manager of Aston Villa. I thank him for keeping us in the Premier league under extreme circumstances and wish him all the best whatever happens over the summer.

He has NOT conducted himself  with the manner befitting an Aston Villa manager. At numerous  occasions  he has made disgraceful remarks making our great club sound like "a small time backward making up numbers barely existing  in the League of GIANTS club".

The man should NOT be thanked for keeping us in the Premier League he should be admonished for nearly ruining us.

 pay me 2 million a year and  I can show you dignified negativity

Those advocating protests probably suspect Lerner and co. are more than a bit thick and need a constant reminder of what the fans think about McLeish.  If he's still here in August, having signed a load of deadwood, and then takes us into the bottom 5 by September, at least those mocking and belittling the protest organizers as classless, attention seekers etc.  can look themselves in the mirror and say "we got the manager we deserve".

yes 3 cheers big eck hip hip .....

From my point of view, the lack of football knowledge at the board level is the problem more than McLeish is.

Absolutely correct. McLeish must go, of that there's no doubt. But unless the board can appoint someone who understands football there's every reason to believe we'll have another farcical manager search and another brainless appointment.

The MOTD pundits reaffirming that the reason it wont work is because we 'hate' him because of the Blues connection. 

It hasn't got my goat until now.  Fuck right off you patronising wankers and look at the league table, the amount of dross our team has produced and then re-evaluate your opinion. 

Maybe I"ll write an open letter to the BBC. 

Or just go to bed. 

Were we the last ones on again? That must be an unwanted record too. I have always got the video/DVD seasons review since 1988 but what would they put on it.

[eastie]

No question mcleish must go but faulkner must go too!
The club has gone backwards at alarming speed since the day paul faulkner arrived in B6.

[pauliewalnuts]

Keeping him on would be suicide.

From the OS

But he revealed he would be assessing the squad after the season end and putting a plan in place for next term.

He's not going anywhere

Pinch of salt- houllier and garry mac were saying the same things last may- mcleish will be gone within a fortnight!

Randy was hardly going to say to him 'im going to sack you at the end of the season '- the manager is usually in the dark until the axe falls!

[NeilH]

Keeping him on would be suicide.

I keep trying to understand the logic behind this. The only thing I can possibly imagine is that Lerner is determined to stick by his man, like Manure did with Siralex and Faulkner honestly believes that the protests against McLeish are a storm in a teacup which will blow over when it comes to season ticket renewal time.
They have either conducted a very vigorous research campaign to assess whether there will be a significant drop off in attendances (bearing in mind how many season ticket holders have already been approached about renewal) or they are keeping their fingers crossed that loyalty will prevent a calamitous crash in attendances.

[VillaAlways]

Houllier would still be here if he hadn't got ill.

I'm assuming the club don't enjoy winding up fans for the sake of it. I think they're going to plough on regardless of what we think .Faulkner must spin Randy a load of bullshit just to save his own skin
