Sir Graham has his say

[gerags]

I agree with most of SGT's comments anyway apart from the slant that we don't like or accept him because of his Blose connections, rather than for being shite.

It's plain to all of us, but when (if) he finally departs, the media and Ferguson will forever bleat that we just couldn't get over the Dog Shit connection.

As long as he's out of here and we then have a manager that sends out a team to put up a fight at ManUre or wherever we play I really couldn't give a damn what that old soak thinks about us !

Agreed.  It's a small price to pay for having shot of McLeish.  At least WE know the truth, that's all that matters.

Who is this 'WE' that you claim to represent?

[Steve67]

"We" being the fans of Aston Villa.

[Tom Sawyer]

"We" being the fans of Aston Villa.

As in "We, the people"?

[Rip Van We Go Again]

Who is this 'WE' that you claim to represent?

The majority of Villa supporters who know that Honest Alex is doing a very, very poor job.

[Mister E]

I read into that article as much criticism of McL as a man of GT's integrity would make in public.
- he criticised the team's set-up;
- he implied that McL was looking for draws / damage limitation;
- he implicitly criticised his man-management;
- he effectively attacked his 'starman signing', N'Zog; criticism by proxy.

He softened his comments with the lead about the players and the Blues connections, but essentially this is a critical article about the manager.

I would like to think it might have some traction with more influential people around B6, but maybe it's too subtle for them.

Those 4 points virtually sum up most Villa fans opinions of the team.

Which makes him? - a Villa fan, I suppose!

Precisely I can't understand how any Villa fan would think he's doing a good job, in any sense of the word. We're terrible to watch with awful results.

Seemingly everybody apart from you.

[danlanza]

Do i detect a McLeish supporter?

[damon loves JT]

I support McLeish.
