As for slating McAsswipe, I think he's got off pretty lightly so far on match days.

RVB - Are you serious you can't remember Downing being criticised. Go back a few hundred pages and he was being called all manner of names related to how spineless he was, and for that matter, what a silly fool MON was for buying such a crock.I am genuinely interested whether other fans are as critical of their staff as we are of ours.

Houllier got hounded though because he openly had more feelings for Liverpool than he did us. McLeish may have not produced the kind of football most would want to see, but he has never had a bad word to say about Aston Villa, quite the opposite. Despite his limitaitons, McLeish is clearly aware of how big a club we are and our tradition.

There's plenty of anti McLeish feeling at the ground but it has hardly ever resulted in mass displays of dissatisfaction.Houllier, who had a far more modern outlook and has forgotten more than McLose has ever known about management, got the banner treatment far earlier.

I think the better question is are we critical enough?
