AVFC statement - McLeish sacked.

[Rip Van We Go Again]

Still convinced that we'll see the best of N'Zogbia when a new manager comes in.

Agreed.

I'm not on behalf of anyone but myself.

Can you issue a Fatwah against anyone who dredges up the B-lose link? That would be just dandy.

I don't get people like Shearer saying "its because he came from blues." What is?
Is he saying the villa fans don't like him because he came from blues and thats why villa are struggling? Makes no sense to me.

[PeterWithe]

From what I've seen so far I'd prefer an on-form Allbrighton to CNZ, he puts the ball where Bent wants it. CNZ seems to want to dribble himself into a shooting position every time and his accuracy is a little wayward.

[danlanza]

Bloody hope so. He has not been allowed a free role since coming to Villa under McLeish. Here is to next season and hopefully a new start.

What does Alan 'he head-butted my elbow, honest ref' Shearer know about Villa anyway?

We sent his beloved Newcastle down and he bears a grudge?

There's no doubt he's been a big disappointment this season, but there's a good player in there somewhere; we've seen players come good (pr at least do a lot better) on their second season, recent examples being Steven Ireland and Stewart Downing. Having paid 10 million for N'Zogbia, it also makes financial sense to give him another year and hope for a (drastic) improvement.

[Legion]

A minor one would be nice.

Agreed.

Particularly if we get Martinez.

And the comparison is flawed anyway - Bruce was a Newcastle supporter, which is what Sunderland fans didn't like. Until he got here AM didn't even know where Birmingham was!

It's strange given the amount of stick given by the 5Live commentry team last night to Kean - "out of his depth, worst run for years - setting teams up to defend, not win - an example being vrs Spurs". Then I thought: That's us, that is. That's McLeish. Why can't they see the similarities?

Oh no, it's only because he managed THEM!
Tossers!

[Clampy]

I like Randy and from other people who i've spoken to he's still in their good books. Houiller was a brave decision and although there were times last season when i was'nt convinced it was the right one, i'm not going to knock Randy for it. It was his first footballing appointment and their was logic behind it.

Employing McLeish however was a stupid decision, totally stupid. I'm not sure what the hell he was thinking and it nearly cost us big time. He's got a chance to rectify his mistake in the next couple of weeks. If he dose'nt then he'll start to lose the support of those who think good of him and that would be a shame.

[James]

I agree with that Clampy, he has to 'man up' and admit he dropped one, then put it right!

Yep. The problem is not going to fix itself.
