I would say it was a bit of self reflection...

It's odd that Lerner's wealth has increased £300,000,000 in the past year yet he's not doling out any cash! Now's not the time to be a tight wad Randy... http://www.birminghammail.co.uk/news/local-news/aston-villa-chairman-randy-lerner-1240157

For that to be relevant in any way would depend on each manager having the same players at the same time with the same teams in the same league. I found this "manager ranking" link on a supporter's twitter feed... I really don't want to defend McLeish because I'm not sold on him whatsoever; though I do think we're stuck with him for a while. Regarding your comment Johnee, McLeish pretty much does have the same squad in the same league as Houllier minus some key offensive components. (Young, Downing) Looking at this season compared to last year at this point, we've conceded fewer goals and lost fewer games. That surprises me since our defense looks really poor...

Not a fan of McLeish's tactics, but I found this interesting. https://p.twimg.com/AlALBN2CQAAZovG.png We could be worse off I suppose... UTV!!!

Those are both solid designs lmarsha!!!

The past two seasons have been a roller coaster for us. I'm still hopeful that we can move up the table and I'm trying to look at the few positives we've seen this season under McLeish. Hopefully we can reach 42 pts sooner than later! At that point, I'd love to see our reserves in the starting formations. We've got a lot of young talent and they would give us something to cheer about regardless of the score lines! UTV!!!

This template in Claret/Blue wouldn't be bad... http://farm7.static.flickr.com/6174/6244699652_8a7b66dde2_b.jpg

Class. Especially the Le Coq kits!!!

Great match today at Chelsea. Well done McLeish! Since the Arsenal match we've looked like a team with a backbone! UTV!

Talksport/Quinn just announced that Villa will appoint McLeish within 24hrs. Big surprise...

I hope it's not Holloway.

Unfortunately, this may not be an option... Just saw this- http://www.people.co.uk/sport/football/football-hotline/2011/04/03/aston-villa-willing-to-sell-ashley-young-102039-23034142/ and this- http://www.mirrorfootball.co.uk/news/Transfer-News-Aston-Villa-s-Nigel-Reo-Coker-will-be-able-to-leave-on-free-in-summer-with-Valencia-Seville-Roma-Juventus-and-Napoli-article719929.html Not sure how reliable these sources are though...
