AVFC statement - McLeish sacked.

[OzVilla]

Atleast some of the Aussie pundits seem to have a better grasp on reality than the MOTD ones do.

Both Mark Bosnich and Robbie Slater said that AML should go and that his was a terrible appointment in the first place.  Bozzie also said we should go back in for Martinez.

Nice to see some paid pundits aren't just looking out for their mates and actually seeing things for what they are.

Feck off now. Feck off while you're winning! Feck off now the both of ye's..feck off the lot of ya!

He's gone, right? He's got to be..

The comparison between McLeish and Audley Harrison has already been made by others. The one thing I would disagree with is that AM doesn't even talk a good fight pre-match. But his fighting talk and determination to '"sort things out" after the 38 round fight had finished today did remind me of Harrison trying to convince people to give him another shot. I don't plan to watch a Harrison 'fight' in future and I hope being a Villa fan doesn't mean I have to watch a McLeish 'fight' again.

Randy and his team should be sitting down tomorrow to have a simple discussion - how do we make sure we never, ever have a repeat of that season? There should be a few actions as a result, removing the current manager clearly being one of them but there are other things that need to change too including a change in mindset. We need to start acting like a big club again. Lets be winners not looking like we're happy to make up the numbers as we have so often done in the last 12 months and lets recruit a manager who thinks like that too rather than one who seems to regard a 0-0 as some sort of moral victory.

You can talk about injuries, players under performing, bad luck, finances or whatever you like. The fact is in two consecutive Premier League seasons with two different clubs he has failed to reach what most people agree is the bare minimum target for any club in this league of 40 points.

Pretty much everything he has said since the Bolton game could be subtitled 'bollocks to the lot of you'. He's had a pop at the players and he has had a pop at the fans.

Whatever way it breaks, he must already know which way it will go.

I can't see why he would say half the things he has said if he genuinely thought were staying.

Then again I can't see what he gains from 'I will be here next season' if he knows otherwise.
