I think everyone, fans and press alike, are concious of where Mcleish came from. It is affecting their judgement upon how they should react to this situation.
Two points:For every sensible villa fan that declared that they did not care where he came from it was his managerial record that mattered - they only seem to interview ones that open with "He was ex blues ............" which enforces the mind set that we are all just obsessed with themSecondlyLast night i had an hour + drive from work to the game and on talk shite once they got over the wankfest with the Chelsea / Barca game Durham advertised at least 3 times that they wanted to hear from Villa fans over what is going on - by the time i got to the game there had been only one caller and then he did not really put the point over as it should have been.Does the radio vet all the calls so only the mundane caller gets through - or as fans have we actually lost the passion for our club due to the incompetence of those in charge of it and simply gave up?In the medias eyes have we really become that inconsequential?
