I'd be too busy feeling sorry for the team he's now managing, oh, and looking forward to gaining at least a point against them!

I wouldn't boo him. I think he's a thoroughly decent man and I find the abuse of him pretty distasteful
(not the booing of the team, the personal insults)

He's just not a good enough manager for Villa and I hate the way his sides play. It's the opposite of everything I think football should be

Why would you boo him when you are guaranteed at least a point, and hopefully he would see us as an 'elite team' so he would try to keep the score down.

I have never met him, nor I suspect have a lot of posters on here, so the acceptance that he is a thoroughly decent man rings untrue when his public face is a litany of lies and excuses

I can't believe that anybody actually thinks that Alex McLeish will be sacked at the end of the season.  It's totally and utterly delusional to expect our inept board will fire the man they fought so hard to hire.  Not a chance.  McLeish is here to stay.  Sad, but ultimately true.  He is going nowhere.  And to answer the question of booing should he ever come back, no, I'd just be so ecstatic that he was not managing us.  Sadly he will remain here and even when he eventually does leave I can't see anyone else being stupid enough to sign him.

Slightly off topic, I see Wolves are rumoured to be appointing Stale Solbakken as their new manager.  Interesting choice from leftfield  to say the least.

Nothing our board has done in the last few years gives me the belief that they will make the right decision and sack him.

The only real massive bollock they've dropped (plenty of mistakes, yes) is in appointing him. A situation they will address presently in my opinion.
You would have to believe they were actually mentally ill to persist with him.
Despite my frustration with them for their naivety, I dont think they are actuallly mentally ill.

According to the Daily Heil, McSheesh is top of the charts to get the chop, pop pickers! Ahead of Steve Keane and Terry Connor: illustrious company for McClueless.

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

Its unlikely to happen, at least not in the league.

I can't imagine there will be many other PL chairman fuckwitted enough to give him a job after this season.

Though it might be with a Championship team that he is able to bring up.

Lies? That's a strange comment.
I have met him many years ago when he played for Abderdeen and he was a gentleman but you don't have to meet someone to establish if that.
