Risso that is very, very worrying indeed.

My only hope is our players can muster something from within themselves to dig us out of this hole.

I have lost faith in the manager but saying that I still like him and I think he is trying his best but it is not working out. It might change next season but I think I would rather not find out anymore.

It has to be time for some unity all round in the summer.

His 'likeability' is irrelevant. If we finish below Stoke, West Brom, Swansea, Norwich, Sunderland and Fulham (all above us as the table stands) that is not even close to being good enough.

As long as we finish above 3 of the 5 teams below us, I don't really care at the moment.

I have always said he has to be given time.
 
I do feel it was the wrong move by Randy, an unpopular choice with very little chance of success given the constraints he'd have to work under.
But, he still came, despite all the constraints, that took some balls. And I feel that is the reason why he must be given time, not endless, but he must have the chance to build his team and not be expected to be using MO'Ns players 5 years on.
Personally I'd say until Christmas next season. By then his team should be in place and if we're struggling then maybe that will be the time for Randy to decide.



This.
?

He agrees with you.

I had no faith in him to start with so it is a tautology to ask if I have any left.

In the entire history of the club I doubt that a worse decision in terms of potential damage to the club has ever been made.

Same for me.  Avoid relegation and reassess the situation.

If by reassess you mean sack then I agree.

Whatever needs to be done.  I honestly don't think, regardless of whether we stay up or go down, that McLeish is going anywhere.  He'll still be a Villa Park next season.

I cannot think of one positive thing he has done to take us forward. It is negativity piled on top of negativity, I just want him gone.  In fact if I win the Euro millions lotto I will offer to pay him off if Randy cant afford to.

7 wins all season and we are all hoping that the teams below us don't pick up enough points to overtake us.  I really don't see where a win will come from for the rest of the season.
