AVFC statement - McLeish sacked.

[Percy McCarthy]

1311 pages on my BlackBerry now, plus countless other threads of well-reasoned, justified criticism, and I can't recall anybody saying it's because he's from da blooze.

Never before have the media got it so wrong, so often, for so long.

[Matt Collins]

I agree, although I wonder whether the reasoned folk (ahem) of H&V are representative of all Villa fans?

For example, not many on here backed the chants about Eduardo, while opinions of the My Old Man song on here don't seem to be reflected by the crowd!

I have been saying it all season the man is a bullshitter,and not a very good one.Nice man do me a favour.

[Percy McCarthy]

You may have a point. We are cleverer than the average fan. *wink*

I have no idea what those thickos on Villatalk are saying.

His pleas for financial support to rebuild after Sunday’s draw with Spurs secured safety, have so far gone ­unanswered.

“We have never spoken since that. We’ll sit down and talk next week,” added McLeish.

“I am sure the chairman will be over as well. I need to find out what budgets are at the club next season.”

He hasn`t a clue what is going on has he? - Is that his fault or the owner`s?

From the outside looking in the place seems a feckin shambles.

It's just an article made up of quotes, garbage

He should have been sacked straight after the Bolton game Yet again the club have handled this really badly unless the outcome on Monday is that he gets the boot there's going to be one hell of a shitstorm If they're going to back him next season they should have said so ages ago All this speculation is going to make it a million times worse for them if  they end up keeping him.

When decisive action has been called for, our board have consistently made the wrong decision in the wrong manner. What makes anyone think they're going to get it right this time around? As has been stated previously on here, there need to be changes at board level before we can really move forward.

The obvious standpoint now is "they couldn't possibly keep him now, it would be insane'.

That's all well and good, but how many of us thought they'd be anything like stupid enough to appoint him in the first place?

Rule nothing out with this lot.

That's my worry.  That and the cost of paying off his contract.

The sheer stupidity of giving a man with 2 relegations in 3 seasons a 3 year contract without a performance related get out clause for the club is sheer madness.

I can't believe he genuinely thinks he has done a good job this season. I reckon every other manager in the league, with our players, would have got more points this season.

The main worry is the Board was crazy enough to employ him, so I am thinking they are crazy enough not to see how bad it has been and to keep him on for a while longer.

Apparantly Martinez meeting with Whelan next week to discuss his future at Wigan .

That is exactly how I see it.
I wouldn't put anything beyond the board after appointing McLeish.
