AVFC statement - McLeish sacked.

Chris Smith does it so much better than you do.

[Rudy Can't Fail]

If "a stomach-churning exercise in toadying to the club" gets you the inside story that Randy is willing to swallow his pride and sack McLeish, I raise my hat to Nursey. Still, each to there own.

Where's this story that they're going to sack McLeish?  "Do what is best for AVFC" is just bland hot air, it means nothing.  They could think that keeping McLeish is the best thing for the club, bearing in mind they were mental enough to think that he was the best man for the club last summer. 

Of course it's hot air if you fail to read the rest of the sentence; "will ultimately do what is best for AVFC this summer regardless of pride."

Time will tell but I'm certainly encouraged.

Trying to read between the lines, I think that's what he is hinting at.

We've already had that one. Sorry for having an opinion.

I had not seen it first time round, and sorry Dave, it made me chuckle.

Whilst the contracts are so ludicrous and without clauses that mean we dont give massive payouts this will exist!!

It should have criteria such as win rates, points, goals scored, goals against etc compared with our competition and where we aim to be in the league...

If i had to have 2 bodyguards at my desk during my working hours, i would walk... but if there was 4 million notes waiting for me if I got sacked then i would stick it out!

Would make it easier for these managers to walk away if contracts were not so ludicrous!...

Love him or hate him... MON had a rolling 1 year contract cos he truly believed in himself... All managers and chairman should take note!

Erm... it did not stop him taking the club to court over constructive dismissal.

I must admit. It was funnier the second time.

I am sorry to see that you have not been too well over the last couple of months.  I hope to see you recover over the next week or so.

I fully expect randy to pull the trigger and end mcleish's reign within a week from now.

Gut instinct or some itk?

Bit of both really but i expect it to happen in the next week when  the season ends.

[James]

It should happen sooner rather than later if it's going to be done. With the Euros and the goddamned olympics this summer I think the game of musical chairs for managers will start early and we don't want to be the chumps left standing when the music stops!

[eastie]

Agreed, we dont want the fiasco of the last 2 appointments and i hope randy has identified his man already and is prepared to take him from another club if neccessary- he must be ruthless and not worry about managers breaking contracts.

[Fergal]

Would you boo AM if he came back as manager of another club?

I wouldn't - he hasn't been a wanker, just a completely out of his depth catastrophe.
