When will the bullet come?

[Phil from the upper holte]

How can Lerner do nothing, surely you have to protect your investment?

[MonsXI]

I'm not even sure Lerner would sack him if we went down.

It is very possible I'm paranoid but does anyone else think Lerner went for McLeish to pay us back for the uproar when we were linked with McLaren? Basically a show of strength by an owner who has had enough of the criticism he has faced since the end of MON's days and the fans questioning his judgement?

No. You're the only one.

A more pertinent question than when he might get  the bullet, which when all is said and done is beyond our control,  is when he will feel the wrath from the faithful. I predict this will be quite soon.   

Having seen the venom thrust in the direction of Houllier last season, it amazes me how lightly Mcleish has got off this season. At the end of most home games most of the people in the Lower Trinity have already left and there are too few remaining to abuse him. He deserves much worse than Houllier got and my concern is that when the fans' emotions are finally unleashed it will be rather ugly.

Ok I thought that would be the case, so why did he go for Eck?

He acts in the manner of a man who know's he's as safe as Fort Knox.

I think the fuckwits would keep him if we got relegated for his 'excellent Championship record.'

"Unquestionably, Alex meets the criteria we set out at the beginning of our search which was based on proven Championship experience, leadership, a hard-working ethic and, most importantly, a shared vision for Aston Villa

It's the 'championship experience' that worries me...

No doubt all the teams in the mix with us will be hopng we don't sack McLeish.

I might have to wait a couple of year's between wind ups but I always catch someone in the net......

[JJ-AV]

I'd like us to go back for Martinez. It'd be expensive (as I imagine part of the reason he signed a new deal was to safe-guard Wigan for any compensation), and I doubt sacking McLeish would come cheap - but we've a few players here who you'd imagine Martinez could work well with.

Ouch 

[Risso]

You don't really to need to create a wind up to laugh at Faulkner, the truth is funnier than fiction:

"With our strong squad combining the necessary virtues of experience and the exciting potential of our young players, our objective is to compete as strongly as we possibly can.

"Alex's vast experience and proven abilities demonstrate clearly that he is a strong leader and an ambitious man and we are looking forward very much to the exciting new season about to start," Faulkner added.

[Holte L2]

I just want him to go now.  I've actually started to get mouth ulcers that it's getting me down.
