AVFC statement - McLeish sacked.

[Lee]

Can you imagine anyone employing him again? Maybe unlucky with the Blues but then to take us from 6th to where we ended up is not down to luck

He is a piss poor manager by any standard

He's finished, but I really hope that Jeremy Peace has a "Lerner" moment

[pr_N'villa]

Talksport said in the next hour!!!

[PeterWithesShin]

Evening everybody!

So... has he gone yet? Just got back from work and am refusing to detach myself from the radio!

What a coincidence, i'm going to the docs because I can't detach myself from the radio. I'm just hoping they believe that I fell on it.

[eastie]

Just back from work- any news on potential new manager?

[Chris_Jephcott]

Yeah, I'm refusing to detach the radio from me - it's grown to be a part of me this morning.

So... which radio station will be the best to hear the axe fall? Radio 5 or Talksport? Or WM?

Are you a DAB hand?

[Toronto Villa]

I'm no employment law expert. but surely if he's sacked for being crap we can appoint who we want whenever we want? And the same if he resigned?

As he's only been here for 11 months the only way he could claim unfair dismissal would be if he was pregnant or had blown the whislte on dodgy health and safety practises.  They could quite happily hand him his P45 and settlement cheque with Paul Lambert sat in he same room with no fear of anything legal coming back to bite them on the arse.  I hope they move quickly before the likes of Liverpool realise just how past it KKKenny is.

Unfair dismissal? Even a judge with no interest in football whatsoever could look at his record this season and claim that there is nothing unfair in dismissing him at all. In fact he might even come back and fine us for not firing him sooner.

Where have you been for Christ's sake?  We've missed your minute by minute SSN up dates today.  Of all days!
