Done well? Fuck right off Fergie you wanker. I hope you spend every year you remain at Manure being royally rogered up the ass by City. Tosser.

Yeah, my wanting United to win it over City has long gone. I hope City lose to QPR, then in a cruel, but amusing twist of fate Kieron Richardson crosses to John O'Shea to beat United too, handing City the title.

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.

The bloke is a complete embarrasment and a cancer to our great club. I'm hoping he knows he's off so is getting the excuses in, won't hold my breath though unfortunately.

I really hope he is digging his own grave with these comments but unfortunately I think Lerner and Faulkner will fall for it hook line and sinker.

[Irish villain]

McLeish is now officially worse than DO'L in my eyes.

Those comments are such an insult to Aston Villa and the talented youngsters the club has brought through the ranks. He is quite simply untenable as our manager now.

[VillaAlways]

"McLeish's views on his #AVFC future will be in Saturday's Mirror after today's presser. Heard and saw nothing to change my view he's doomed"

I have never bought the 'he is a nice guy' line. Why is he a nice guy? Its certainly not because he speaks highly of the employee that over pays him by numerous 0's. Its not because he emailed his last employees goodbye - a cowards way out of any situation. And it is not a nice guy that would say such positive things about the players he has inherited to please the media and his own ego in those early months at our club, and then contradict them all in later months, as his lack of ability becomes more obvious. And he is not a nice guy when he constantly blames (often young) players, along with bad luck and anything other than himself for defeat. And a nice guy would not put me through Spurs away when he plays a million defenders and says he is not defensive!

He is a terrible manager and (at least at pemiership level) I think he knows it. I think he wants everything he can get out of this and the latest interviews sound to me like 'I have a contract and a plan for the next two years- pay up or I stay; we all know I am shit- so its pay up time'. I am really started to dislike him on DOL levels. They are quite high levels of dislike!

Getting his excuses in and holding out for his compensation.  He knows he's as good as an ex-employee already so these are basically veiled digs he's making now.

“I’ve been in charge one season. Did anyone expect me to win the league? Come on – I think people have to be more understanding"

A few matches would have been nice. Please go.

And protecting his reputation for future employment, I'd suggest.

Winning the league would require winning 28 matches.

That's 21 more than he's managed this season.

In fact, based on his record with us and That Lot, it would take him 3/4 seasons to manage such a total. 

So no, we didn't expect that.  But maybe more than a tally low enough to result in relegation 9 times  out of 10, crazy dreamers that we are.

With every passing statement he is doing his utmost to be more and more disliked by an ever growing percentage of our support. The utter nonsense that has come out of his mouth of late beggars belief. It's like he looks in the mirror and keeps saying that stuff until it makes sense. Must take him an age to leave the house every morning. The last few weeks he has clearly lost the plot. He's like a severly wounded dog. The owner needs to put him out of his misery for his own good.

[Phil from the upper holte]

I've just got back from Vegas, I was hoping to come back to news of his sacking,

my mate said spur was shit,well done mcshit 7 wins lowest points total? Worst home record and he thinks he's done well? How can the owner think that this is ok? What happens next year? The man is a genius he must be how else could he get paid £2m a year? He must have thought all of his christmas's had come at once? Nice bloke my arse he must have walked from small heath on his hands and fucking knees. If villa is like a morgue next year I will not be surprised

[eastie]

Why are so many people panicking over mcleish saying hes staying? He may well think that but the manager is nearly always the last to know when he is going to be fired- the call to faulkners office will surely come for mcleish next week and our hell will be over.
