This I agree with totally.

The small (ish) chant of Sack McLeish after the game was picked up on SSN today and yesterday, as were the "Eck out" banners.  They have their claws in now, hopefully they won't let go.

Wasn't it "We don't want McLeish"? It was hardly small (ish).

I saw them approaching people handing out leaflets so I chose to buy my H&V mag from Greg - sorry Legion.

I wholeheartedly support any protest geared to remind the board that we are the paying customer, and we're being sold an absolutely bum deal by their bloody-minded incompetence.

The second the final whistle went there was a 'Sack McLeish M'lord' chant.

So most seem to agree that their aims are pretty much shared but it was the 'wrong' people doing the protesting?

Fair play to them, my appetite for protest has well passed, my appetite for a pint saw me depart pretty speedily.

Any protest get my backing.


Seriously - what's your opinion of the abuse the Mcleishout mob are giving to anyone who disagrees with them on Twitter & elsewhere?
I don't regard Twitter etc as a real protest. 

I didn't say it was. What is your opinion of the abuse given out on Twitter to those who didn't take part/agree with them?

Don't follow twitter.   But abusing fellow villa fans if that's what they did, is wrong.  We need a united front to force the required change.

The main agenda that Dazzy G or Warley Wobbler (whatever his name is) brought with him when he joined this site was to lay into everyone who did'nt agree with him to the point where he got offensive. It did'nt help his argument in the slightest.
This is my main problem.

I'm very keen to see somebody else in charge next season, but then I assume that if such complete dimwits share that opinion I assume that I must have got something wrong.

It's quite disconcerting.

Agreed. Even if I'm sympathetic to a cause, once someone tells me I must agree with them, my natural inclination is to disagree on principle.

Another way to look at it is that if the average dimwit with his bedsheet can see that McLeish has been a disaster, then the fact that Lerner can't must make Randy very, very, very, very stupid indeed.

Yup, I'd say that's perfectly valid. But then the average dimwit with his bedsheet can be seen to protest about all sorts of shit just to make an unnecessary scene.

But I definitely take your point.

Round of applause for the author of the banner "It's not where you came from, it is where you are taking us" yesterday.
