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?

Basically, If he's still at the end of next week then he's staying.

That post match interview posted here sounded like an ultimatum to the board to me.
"You either give me cash so I can buy my way out of trouble or you sack me as I’m not going to go through that again.”

In his defence, he is right in a way.  The players have not responded to his ideas (whatever they are) so something needs to change.

Poor season from McLeish
Even poorer season from the players who have disgraced the shirt
Enjoy your holidays wankers

It's because he has no ideas.

I wouldn't be surprised if we wait a while to see what season ticket sales are like.

We need to be decisive and show the wider football world as well as ourselves that we are not putting up with that kind of level of performance. I imagine their hands will be forced by the ticket sales though. Football is very much second rank to finances in the clubs priorities I fear.

Lerner is now so disinterested I can see him keeping McLeish on

Assuming his ideas were to play for 0-0 and/or not to score any goals, they seem to be doing ok....except the defense, where there is plenty of room for improvement.

Who gives a fuck what Birmingham City supporters think?  They can barely string a proper sentence together!  Just get this idiot sacked, away from our club, take his club car back and burn it. He has no future at Villa.  Don't bottle it Lerner, sack him.

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.
Heskey and Ireland went off in a car after shaking hands with a few of us.
