AVFC statement - McLeish sacked.

[ez]

Aston Villa boss Alex McLeish: "It was an absolutely shocking, woeful display. Maybe some of the boys were thinking about their holidays already.

"That team needs a change and there will be change. That wasn't an Alex McLeish team today. We need to bring more quality into the squad.

"I take (the fans' booing) on my shoulders for the sake of the players, I agree with the fans' frustration about our display.

"I'm expecting the board to back me. I have no reason to think I won't be (Villa manager next season). We've got through a really tough season. I've won lots of trophies as a player and manager and I haven't turned into a bad manager overnight."

So he thinks its not aimed at him in the first place?

[Ad@m]

Don't worry guys, I've spotted a couple of typos...

"I'm expecting the board to sack me. I think I won't be (Villa manager next season)."

[Toronto Villa]

It just makes you so angry reading that. He's been coming out with that horseshit for weeks now.

[PaulWinch again]

Fuck off now. Lerner if you don't act we are doomed, this has been fucking embarrassing.

[Irish villain]

No, you've been a shit manager for ages, you shit c***.

This. If Randy doesn't sack him, there will be war at Villa Park next season.

Delusional bollocks. There is absolutely no turning back now, there is no scenario that he can stay.

All attention shifts to Lerner.

[villa `cross the mersey]

He truly is a ****

If he is not sacked next week all those fans who have renewed their season tickets should ask for their money back and make Lerner think again.

[SoccerHQ]

Things will just get much worse next season, it's not even worth thinking about.

I don't "hate" the man as much as O'dreary but I "hate" his football philosophy much much more than any villa manager in my lifetime.

[Mazrim]

Get to fuck McLeish. You're just taking the piss now.

-Blames his players,Failing to take responsibility.

"That team needs a change and there will be change. That wasn't an Alex McLeish team today. We need to bring more quality into the squad.
- Oh yes it was very much an Alex Mcleish team. They played crap !

"I take (the fans' booing) on my shoulders for the sake of the players, I agree with the fans' frustration about our display.
- Oh how good of you. It was all aimed at you anyway, not the players! Idiot !

I'm expecting the board to back me. I have no reason to think I won't be (Villa manager next season)
-No reason ? Do you want a list !

We've got through a really tough season. I've won lots of trophies as a player and manager and I haven't turned into a bad manager overnight."
- No you haven't, you were a bad manager when you arrived !



 

[Moorski]

Mc Leish will not walk that is for sure.

[Mac]

One reason to sack McLeish....

Even if he gets his way, gets rid of all the players who don't want to play for him. Brings in quality players that fight for the cause, he will still send out the team to be boring and negative because that's all he knows.

[Michel Sibble]

BBC Final Score announced a decision will be made "before the end of next week". Seemed like an educated guess but do they know something we don't?

[Toronto Villa]

The board have only one decision to make of any significance in the next few days. If they fail they will not kiss millions of pounds away, but will piss on the collective hopes of thousands of fans. This, in my opinion is a decision that could break the camel's back for a lot of us.
