AVFC statement - McLeish sacked.

[ormskirkvillan]

I don't feel moved to post often, but today feels like we have got our club back.  The statement from the club sounds like Randy has woken up and is going to ensure things change.  Now please just make sure you pick the right man Randy (3rd time lucky?)

Shay Given has tweeted, saying sorry to see McLeish go, he's a good man, but the fans wishes have been granted and they are the soul of the club

He didn't mention he was a good coach or manager, interestingly.

Don't quite like how that sounds. 

[Can Gana Be Bettered!?!?]

Yesssssssss!!!!!!!

[ktvillan]

Thank Fuck for that.

I was genuinely concerned Randy would keep him, but clearly appointing him was the limit of his blind spot/mental breakdown, and he's been able to finally see the painfully obvious truth that this manager wasn't, isn't and was never going to be good enough for Aston Villa.

I just hope we now get someone who can combine decent, creative, attacking football with some positive results.

There is no doubt in my mind that the numbers of season ticket holders saying they were very disappointed with this season and were not renewing/were seriously doubting it had an effect here

Money talks

Conjecture. The club were/are well on course for the same amount of season tickets sold as last year.

Agree.  Its our fault.  How dare we expect not to be almost relegated and more entertaining football.

How many is that?

[Risso]

I'd reunite the Little/Gregory dream team.  Would probably be an utter disaster mind, but I'd love to see them both back in the dugout.

[danlanza]

been having a kip, what time did they sack him?

[WALTERS WARRIORS]

Greatest. Picture. Ever.

Stolen as a Facebook status with the caption "Christmas has come seven months early".

If Carlsberg produced pictures, this would be the best picture in the world !!!!!!!!!!!

Wonder who'll be the first player to come out and say ' such a relief that he's gone,most miserable season for all the players...'



Step forward Stephen Warnock.

yes, there's an undertone to that which stinks, unless he's just chosen his words clumsily

[Andy_Lochhead_in_the_air]

9 wins in 42 competitive games.

At just 21.43%, that is the lowest win ratio of any manager in our entire history.
