Please let this be true.

I hope it's true.

too many people are now reporting him as gone for it not to be true I think, I've seen 4-5 different reports that he's leaving any minute now.

[Concrete John]

It's now lunchtime.  I'm actually eating my lunch at my desk in case I miss anything.

Why hasn't he gone yet???

Please let this be true.

Maybe it's all the players who are leaving.

[Lambert and Payne]

I want a 3 man team of DiCanio, Vialli and Hoddle...all doing stuff

The drugs don't work.

They just make you worse

Why is the meeting taking so long
How long can it take to say "you're fired"

Probably telling them he could have been Villa's greatest ever manager and it's all their fault he's got the tin tack!

I've got a horrible feeling he's going to come out grinning saying they've agreed on their transfer targets.

don't be daft!

I bet karl Henry and Lenny Henry are gutted ....

[Archbishop Herbert Cockthrottle]

Let's hope this is an end to the whole sorry chapter.

Martinez & Lambert both 5/2

You know things are moving in the right direction when this 'Future of McLeish' thread is slowly but surely becoming a carbon copy of the 'Who do you want for the new manager' thread.

[dave.woodhall]

"Within the hour" is the latest semi-official story.

[PeterWithesShin]

Get into him, fuck him off. Come you Villa boys!!

Ooops, thought this was a match thread for a minute.
