If they keep him after this season then we truly are screwed, not just potentially next season but for every season where they are making the major decisions.

There is no choice to make, he's gone absolutely 100% certainly.

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?

I think there was already a planned meeting between Lerner, Faulkner and McLeish this week. So I guess we'll have a good idea what to expect next season by the end of the week.

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."



The man is a grade A, deluded twat.  I'd love to be there when the useless fucking ****** is given the heave ho.

Not even 'another glorious draw' to go out with. Must have screwed his stats, somewhat?

Well I'm off to cut the lawn lads and lasses. I'll catch up with you lot in a bit. Hoping that the Villa bus leaves Norfolk without that prick on board.

The reporter involved was Mat Kendrick.  He's doing us proud at the tail end of the season.
