Bit of a contradiction I'd say. The bloke talks utter shite'The last day at Norwich was brutal. I knew I needed to be out of the job'. Prior to that he says ‘I’ll prepare a dossier on what we need to do this summer as quickly as I can,’ said the club’s manager. But McLeish sensed immediately that a dossier wouldn’t be needed. It’s not going to happen, is it?’ McLeish said, taking a look at his boss’s face. ‘You don’t have to say it.'

Even in the season that Blues finished 9th, they struggled to score an average of one goal a game. He was the very epitome of a cautious, dull manager. What a deluded fool he is.
This bit I agree with:-McLeish adds: ‘Randy Lerner had asked me to work on a project. He said, ‘‘We want you to work with the club, rather than at the club. We must drive wages down while remaining competitive’’. But when you lose the likes of John Carew, Ashley Young, Stewart Downing, Gareth Barry, James Milner ... the quality Villa had out on the pitch was diminishing. It was going to be a tough ask. It was a rebuilding job.‘I understand, given what happened towards the end of last season, that it was difficult for me to stay. But no-one is able to complete a project of that size in 12 months. I was confident I knew what was needed. There were big changes in my mind ahead of this season. We needed players. An influx of quality. It’s no secret, if you bring in a better quality of player, you produce an improvement in results.He may have been the wrong man for the job, but the rebuilding he's talking about is true. Lambo has now brought in 8 players, including Holman, and we're all accepting he needs time.
Nothing here that wouldn't be expected from a very poor manager who would like another job in football.But where do they find these ignorant journalists? "In terms of size, the two cities are comparable."Population of Glasgow - 592,820Population of Birmingham - 1,016,800
