Great post by PB.... I like many others am aghast that we have gone with Mcleish because of the style of football he seems to encourage his teams to play. However, as I work in football down here in the smoke, I would say to everyone DO NOT believe the figures that the papers are quoting on compensation and the like. Are we seriously to believe that a gentleman as ill as GH could not be dismissed under an ill health clause? And yet the papers would have you believe that he has been "bought" out of his contract.
Let's see what the current season brings, and being honest, I don't think there will be much of a transfer kitty for Mcleish... hey ho, the joys of being a Villa fan !
