My protest on a personal note is aimed at Faulkner. He interviewed McLeish, he told Lerner to appoint him. Faulkner has been a disaster from the start and I sooner see him go and proven exec with knowledge of the game can hand Mcleish is P45 and get in the right man
Interesting to see some of the earlier posts on this thread dismissing attacks on the manager because we were 10th at the time, and never mind the dire, negative football being dished up. Others, including me, were expressing concern even back then that, not only was the football shite, but that, despite the league position, we weren't picking up enough wins to cover our arses when we hit our difficult looking final third of the season. But we were told "the table doesn't lie". I suppose this amounts to a "told you so", but you didn't have to be Nostradamus to see where it was heading, and it's by no means pleasant to see such predictions coming to fruition. Frankly the manager should have been sacked based on Spurs away alone, which was an absolute disgrace.
The trouble is now, that with all the best intentions in the world, if we go behind in any game this season the crowd are going to go for McLeish big time. It's just human nature.
Was just thinking of the joyous day at Villa Park when the Dog Shit got relegated last season. Now one year on there is the possibility of them being in the Premiership and ourselves in the Championship and the entire events being down to one certain Alex MCleish. If this were to happen I'm sure we will all be saying we should have acted a whole lot sooner. Get the idiot out of Villa Park ASAP.
