I'm prepared to be a friend of Dorothy for this too.

Tim Abraham is more reserved with his information..

Alex McLeish still locked in talks with #AVFC as things stand. Should be 100% clear in next couple of hours.

Don't like that.

He's wrangling his compensation package! He should be paying us after his performance this season...

My earlier confirmation comes from a guy who works various security roles for Villa - normally Bodymoor. He's told me a few snippets before that were all right, so I'm assuming he's gone and they're hashing out comp and stuff.

This all becoming from inside sources, so it's possible that this is just an hour or so behind the Times guy.

The special air raid / tsunami / earthquake / McLeish Sacked / hurricane / fireball siren went off at work today. We had to spend five minutes kneeling/quivering/cowering under the tables with our hands protecting our heads. Then a second special siren announced the end of the danger and we all went out into the sunshine to enjoy a prolonged break.

I KNEW it wasn't just a drill (And I envy the Year 10 class who had to quiver under the table with Miss [name withheld but you would definitely take her "up the Prince Hal"] who had decided to come in wearing a plunging blouse and seasonly short skirt, no tights...).

This is becoming like a match thread!

I get the feeling we're into our last hour of having McLeish as manager...
