Lerner needs to show some cojones and do something, especially given the appalling state of the clubs finances.  Do nothing will damage the club both in the eyes of fans and financially.
Judging by his piss poor handling of that shitty American football team, I don't think we'll be seeing any affirmative action anytime soon.

Sounds like all is not rosy at the DW. Martinez might be free to come now. <wink>

"OK lads you were brilliant first half but that isn't my reputation so second half I want you to go out and play like Solihull School for the Blind."

I imagine the words from the 'manager' at half time were some variation of 'try and make sure we keep it to 1-1 boys'. Following that someone probably corrected Mcleish with the correct scoreline and so he then said 'Oh ok, well like I said try and keep it to 1-1 boys'.
His whole ethos is 'Get a draw, anything else is an unexpected bonus.'

Sickeningly negative.

Did anybody else see McLeish jumping for joy when Blackburn scored?

Yep and it is unbearable to watch as well, enough is enough but many of us have been saying that for weeks. We gave him a chance and he has failed to deliver, that is the bottom line.

Well we did beat chelsea (away). Interesting strategy that - challenge them to resign or otherwise they will be sacked with a massive payout when we are skint ...l

But NO Paul, we only want him out because he managed the Dog Shit.

Well draw number 12 it is which is 100% what I expected, why are we so shocked that we tried to hold on and failed, we have been very poor the whole season and most of last and as I said earlier this week we will stumble to safety, we are 15th for a reason and that is because we are very average team but with just enough to stop up this season, as Kippaxvilla said forget Mcleish getting sacked before the end of this term because it will not happen, his sacking will be the end of next season when he takes us to the championship and what the fuck the future holds then I dread to think.Dark days ahead, pass me the bottle!

Think about it.. if you're Alex McLeish and you have no pressure to succeed who cares what the results are. If Randy isn't going to tell him that getting points is a priority, and if you fail to get points there will be consequences than there's no reason for him to change his approach.

At What point do we as Supporters need to take action?
The action by supporters will be taken in the Summer with chronic season ticket sales.

I'm really not sure it will make a difference though, even if we got relegated.

RANDY LERNER DOES NOT CARE.

The worst of it - 3 weeks ago the argument was that he was at least beating the really shit teams like Wigan and Blackburn so we would be.......... well that has gone then.
