AVFC statement - McLeish sacked.

[Ian.]

I still like the fella and good luck to him. I really wanted it to work out for him for our sakes and his. It would have also been good to piss off the Noses too.

I wasn't to be and come the end his ramblings were getting a bit odd which makes me believe he has known for a few weeks now and he was just talking crap to the press just to give them something.

Good luck to him in the future.

From now on I think as Villa Fans we should collectively blank out all memories of last season. It should be deleted from our history books. Have you ever heard how actors refer to the Shakespeare play MacBeth as the Scottish play? (Bad luck to call it by it's real name apparently). Then I think we should adopt the same mentality with Mcleish. From now on he should just be referred to as "The Scottish Manager" or "TSM" for short. Actually, thinking about it, I don't think we should ever appoint another manager whose second name starts with Mc. Remember Bingo Billy McNeil? "The Scottish Manager Mark I". Never again please!

[Rip Van We Go Again]

Smashing bloke Mc£eish.

I wish him all the best, with his fucking £4m pay off.

A sad indictment of modern day football, a massive pay out for somebody who has been truly apalling in his job.

[Ian.]

Quite true and he is made for life after failing at his job. Surely these contracts should be written very differently from the beginning though?

That first press conference sticks in my mind, especially "I am the right man for the job".

I'm sure he felt that way, it was a win-win situation.
Bags of cash however it panned out.

Mcleish has got a job with Sky.

he fits his first dish on monday.

If he falls off the roof of a house, he'll have a nice soft landing on his oversized, bulging wallet.
The ******.

[VillaAlways]

Do we actually know the amount of comp. Not sure how true it is but I heard it was only 2 million between him and Grant

[Legion]

£4 million.

[VillaAlways]

£4 million.

What a joke

[Mazrim]

I'd heard it was less than half of that.

[Rip Van We Go Again]

I'd heard it was less than half of that.

If it was £2m, then it's £2m too much.
What other walk of life would you get paid that in 'compensation' for doing a piss poor job?

[Mazrim]

I agree. He should have been sent packing with his BFH a good while ago.

[Risso]

I'd heard it was less than half of that.

Who have you heard that from?
