AVFC statement - McLeish sacked.

[danlanza]

But will he go ? That is the 4 MILLION £ question.We all know he has to go, but will he?

[Louzie0]

Tune in on Sunday for the next exciting instalment...

I think it's 50 50. I think the board are happy with his performance but probably realise the opposition of a vast majority of the fans make his position untenable. If they do sack him, I think they will always put it down to him not being accepted because of his last job.

[Des Little]

I'd say it's more six and two threes myself

[mike]

Either way, it's Alex's favourite result!

............Of the greatest Villa draw ever!!!!!!

Don't feel sorry for him, anyone who has attended a consultation meeting at work where there are 20 of you having it explained to you that there are only 10 jobs in the new business model ,so half of you are out, will know how that compares to someone on £2 million a year who will walk away with a fat compensation cheque.
He will stop worrying about the Villa within 5 minutes as he drives off in his expensive car.
We on the other hand will worry and care about Villa till we die.
The last twelve months have been absolutely fuckin' awful, the thought of the same next season is unbearable.

Well said

Too fucking right.

I have spent this week doing one thing at work - making people redundant - and then coming home and hearing about one thing, my Mrs's fight to not get made redundant.

McLeish going won't cause me to lose a nanosecond's sleep - he is part of that circus of deeply underwhelming "faces" who waltz into £3m pa jobs at the top level of the game purely because they're a known face.

And Ferguson can go and shit his bed, too, the ******. Who gives a fucking shit what he thinks about our manager (except, obviously, our chairman who was sufficiently clueless to admit to a national newspaper that a supportive letter from him is something he stores under lock and key, so precious is it).

[Richard]

Lets just all hope and pray that this nightmare is ended next week. Am unfortunately not convinced either way but imagine how happy this site will be if that piss poor excuse for a manager is no longer in our employment.

Hope not expect.

[Bottom Right 89]

Sorry to be the grim reaper but from the interviews AM has given this week unless we lose 17 nil at Norwich I think he's staying put.

[Dave Cooper please]

The only manager to have a proper ruck with Guardiola and show no fear. Just what we need at Villa don't you think? The never say die attitude is what we need.

Yes, just what we need. A manager to fight with the other managers and still get us relegated. Marvellous.

[PeterWithesShin]

I think i'd have a little cry if we started next season with him still here.

Me too.

'I spoke to my ex-boss last night and he thought some of the squads below us were stronger than us,' said McLeish, 'that's a measure of where we are at the moment and the number of young kids we have.

DOL made us appear worse than mid table sides with his comments. McLeish is now making out we are worse than sides being relegated. I have not felt abusive just wanted him out so far. Tonight, he can fuck off. What a pile of fucking twaddle. You have Englands number 9, a french left winger who was brilliant for Wigan last season, a central midfield player with form and flair you haven't a clue how to utilise, 4 international centre halves, one of the top 3-4 keepers in the league, international full backs etc. Some of the "kids" he refers too are also full international players. He is completely fucking clueless. Had enough. It is a shame a full 40k didn't protest properly last week.

[not3bad]

He's properly cutting himself off from reality now.  I think he's drinking from the same bottle Paul Merson was when he said Villa would have had the same kind of season had Wenger, Ferguson or Mourinho been in charge.
