The only thing that could give the club a lift would be to sack him now. I think it would galvanise the support and get everybody behind the club. Enough is enough.

I can remember us debating who would be best for us, Ancelotti or Benitez and being mortified at the thought of Mark Hughes.
I wasn't mortified at Hughes. He got Fulham to 7th.

Not mortified as such but he seemed a boring, safe option at the timeBelieve me I wish he was our manager now

Hughes was my number one choice. Safe bet, you would have thought the deal would have concluded quickly. Now im open to an untried Laursen and fantasising about a Laursen & Mellberg dream team (desperate).

Can we have another poll to gauge opinion ?
Earlier polls have shown that some people still had faith or some belief in Mcleish. It would be interesting to see just how much support he has now because it seems to me that he has virtually nobody sticking up for him now.

I'm getting confused.  This bullet that's coming, is it the one in the post from Percy to Villa Bobby?

sack him now K mac and sid they would doubt play the kids in positions they are comfortable in i.e Gardner central with Herd who then would not look shit as somebody suggested he was shit against chelsea as Ireland let players run past him  leaving to be overun maybe Albrighton may get a game on the right and Bannan on the left they could switch on occasions. when that amount of kids are included surely it's best to put where they are comfortable my idea of a protest is this support the players regardless but everybopdy stay until the final whistle and sing "f**k off Mcleish the villa is ours" until he disappears down the tunnel .

You have to hand it to Mcleish though - who else could unite Villa and Blose fans over anything? Fans of both persuations hate what he's done to football in this city.

I just really, really want him to go away.

Listened to the team talk podcast today and they hate McLeish as much as us.

Well Randy, Paul Faulkener and McLeish were all in London today visiting Petrov. Surely an opportunity to discuss the season so far, would ariseat some stage during the day, after all Randy doesn't get to many games, so maybe the bullet is being loaded?

Look nobody likes McLeish. My Arsenal supporting boss said last week 'That footballing genius that's ruining your club was on tv after the match saying you had been unlucky, I don't know what game he was watching because I've never seen such a poor villa side come to the Emirates.'

I think the worst thing about this season has been the sinking realisation that we are exactly the kind of side the rest of the league is glad to see get relegated.

That's exactly what he turned Bliues into, as well.

That might be ok for a piss pot club like Small Heath, but it's nowhere near acceptable for Aston Villa.

If I didn't support us, I would want us to go down.


also nobody in the media is really that  interested in us in we just make up the numbers and I imagine other fans sigh when they see us as one of the tv games so dull that we are

Collymore made a point tonight that he hopes we dont 'sleepwalk' into relegation this season like the noses did last season. Its true, if it were to happen. Most would say..so fucking what.

He will be here next season for sure. Why? christ knows.

Two empty Villa Parks would suffice.

I quite like Stan - which is weird, considering how inept he was in C&B.

But he can get facked too on this issue.  He, like Merson and a few others, were championing McLeish earlier this season.

As to when our very own redheaded Jonah will be moved on, logic   (Villa logic)  dictates that it will probably be next Oct, Nov.  After he's pissed away what bit of money we have on more duffers.  But I've had a feeling for a while that he won't be in the dug out for the Sunderland game.  Reversals (even heavy ones)  against Liverpool and Man U won't do it.  But poor results against Stoke and Bolton just might.
