AVFC statement - McLeish sacked.

Ah mr woodhall is the bearer of good news- usually when dave says it then you can put your house on it- he was spot on with the darren bent story.

[Steve67]

Let's hope that Dave is correct. The sooner the better.

As he'd say if he were here himself, that'll be nothing but his own opinion.

[eastie]

Lets pop the champagne corks now lads- our hell is almost over!

[The Situation]

Did Dave predict we were getting McLeish as manager? Maybe Dave is mysteryman...

[VILLA MOLE]

"I have not had the riches to spend on players that other managers would have liked

What does this mean?

it means he hasnt had the funds the likes of the mighty swansea norwich newcastle have had ...... no hang on , he is just a twat thinking of more excuses

[eastie]

True paulie but our dave is a very clever and wise man and not a man of wild stabs in the dark.

Did Dave predict we were getting McLeish as manager?

I doubt there's a mind on the planet sufficiently warped with superpowers to have predicted that.

I still can't really believe it, and he's been here a whole season.

Evening all,

Just got back from Norwich, in all my years 40 odd years of consistently following Villa I have never experienced the kind of atmosphere I did today.

Fancy dress, party time, people in a good mood - however the vitriol towards McLeish was unprecedented.

Don 't get me wrong, for the sake of our great club I want him out sharpish, however, the players were seemingly being spared the grief that they so greatly deserve. (though I did take great delight to hearing the immortal "If Heskey scores we're on the piss" & "We're shit but we're staying up")

Put simply, if there was just one more game to play this season we would be relegated such is the lack of anything positive within the whole set up.

Given aside, I don't care who of what I saw today goes.......but it needs to start with the manager.

[Chipsticks]

What does that signify, out of interest?

The supporters help evening being cancelled?

The way things have been the past 12 months, Randy doesn't want a load of fans turning up & causing a scene after the board back McLeish at their little meeting.  Pessimist head on.

Thank you for ruining that 'good news' for me.

How convenient it is for McLeish to suddenly have amnesia about the Hutton, N'Zogbia and Given monies, plus the Jenas and Keane salaries and loan fees.  Plus, the Enda Stevens money.  How much?  About twenty mill altogether?  Yet more delusion from the man.

Twitter (yes, I know) suggesting season ticket info is 'suspended from this evening until the summer'.

Suspended because no-one would turn up

True but mystery man did say our new manager would cause Bent-like meltdown...

Sorry!

How about, Randy wants to reschedule the event so the new man can be in place with a signing or 2 under his belt?

To be honest, I thought Mysteryman was all over the shop on the manager front last year. I think he gets snippets and releases them in good faith, but he's far from omniscient.
