Where is Fergal, we need someone to ask for a poll...

Poll off...

[bertlambshank]

Can we have a poll about starting a poll?

[Dave Cooper please]

I would take a 7-1 one thrashing if it meant paul lambert taking over from mcleish as a result!

I like it better when we win but each to their own.

I thought AM had a 2 year contract at £2mil a year, so it would cost £2mil, which in the scheme of things is F All.

I thought it was 3 years

If you sack a manager you don't have to pay him up to the end of his contract, only until when he is likely to get another job. So a years salary should do it.

[charlie]

Who will offer that fool another job? He will take all of his contract to get a job unless there is a club with a relegation wish based upon negative footie and awful excuses. Eck is off on hols with DoL to learn new ways of blaming the fans for your own faults and failures, only to return reddened and bullish for another season of 'Lets relegate Villa'.......4 home wins...och aye we can do far worse than that!!!, a whole season with NO home wins, and the lowest points score to be relegated,, och aye..immortality for a wee ginger man!!!

[David_Nab]

Well Blackburn might need a new boss and thier owners Arnt the brightest ...

[PaulWinch again]

We are very fortunate that Wolves and Blackburn have been diabolical and that Bolton had a desperately poor start. Make no bones about it under Mcleish we have been a truly dreadful side and it'll only get worse if they persist with him. He has to go now, no ifs, buts or maybes.

From what McLeish is saying it doesn't look like hes going anywhere!

I haven't joined in any protests but I'm hoping lack of season ticket sales will be more effective, I refuse to renew my ticket while hes in charge.

The latest crap hes coming out with  "I have taken a lot of weight on my shoulders this season. I was happy to take pressure off the players.
"I am not going to next season though. They better get their finger out."

Okay the players have to take some responsibility but come on Mclown you've hardly helped the cause, putting out formations that have lost before kick off!

Playing players out of position, negative ugly football... So was it Birmingham city's players that were at fault when they went down twice? was it Rangers players fault that you achieved a Club record of not winning games?

Once again its everyone else's fault but your own!

[Rick_avfc]

The guy is a clown and he should walk but this day and age, how many managers will walk without gettting sort of pay off?  I just hope the club part company with him soon after the norwich game because lets face it, they are hadly going to sack him before then now are they. 
To me, in his post match comments, he seems to be a man who is fighting to keep his job. Lets hope RL and PF come to their senses and get rid of him

[David_Nab]

He makes it sound like he intentially took the blame away from the players !! I have yet to hear him say at anypoint ...well maybe I got the tatics wrong for this match ,he never takes any blame.

Totally agree with this.  Not saying he would instantly would have become a hero with the avfc fans but im sure if he sometimes took the blame for his tactics and line ups then we would have forgiven him on some occasions.  Although, i could be wrong by that statement

[Dave Javu]

I've never "hated" McLeish and I'm embarrassed about some of the offensive drivel posted on this site, but if he does have any honour it is surely time for him to fall on his sword.

[Walmley_Villa]

What amazes me about him is that unlike GT Mk 2 who apologised for a poor season (and was unfortunately booed for it), there ahs been nothing of the sort from McShit. I'm amazed he hasn't publicly said, We the team and I have let the club down this season etc......

Says it all for me.

[Concrete John]

I would take a 7-1 one thrashing if it meant paul lambert taking over from mcleish as a result!

I like it better when we win but each to their own.

Can we compromise and beat them and then take their manager?
