Very good mr woo. I was just watching Deal or No Deal and thinking that if the various amounts of money were substited for football managers McLeish would be the equivalent of the 1p box.

we have missed Darren Bent for 19 games now. I would have expected four or five goals in those games at least which would have made things more comfortable.



only four or five in 19 games ??????

Fuck off Mcleish, just fuck off. He has to be out of the club as soon as possible.

That better have been his last pre-match press conference as Aston Villa manager. If it isn't we are in big trouble.

He managed 9 in 25, so a further 6-7 in 19 would have been likely, but he has not missed 19 league games anyhow, so surely he is talking total and utter shit?

Also, he said we knew it was going to be difficult, which he has fallen back on more and more lately! This continual tripe about how tough it was going to be.

Swansea, Norwich, Bolton, Wolves, Blackburn, QPR, Wigan, Sunderland, West Brom are 9 sides we have a better first 11 and comparable squad too IMO. Yet we are meant to swallow this line we should be pleased to have survived like he has worked some fucking latter day parting of the seas.

It is all bollocks, and he is spouting more and more of it by the week. He is well into O'Leary territory now.

Yesterday I was upbeat about our future and a new vision for the club and then you see a AM interview and start to worry that we will have more months of what we have already had.

Or is this the  words of a man in a imaginary world, or just a man waffling to the press just to give them something. I hope this is not the voice of a man who has been told his job is safe.

So we missed 4 or 5 Darren Bent goals in 19 games. If Mcleish reckons that Bent's return in a season is 8 to 10 goals then it shows his expectations of a top finisher in one of his teams.  Utter drivel once again and I really don't want to hear much more of this man's bullshit.

Please just f*ck off now

Sounds like he's speculating for another job to me.

That's it he's more annoying than O'Leary for me now. His sheer inability to admit he's done a terrible job or any responsibility is infuriating.
