Excuse me? So you pay to go see the villa and you can slag off a very good chairman whenever you want? By that token Randy can tell you to jam it up your arse as he has put far more money into the club than you ever will. Villa fans acting like children all over the place at the moment. Did i say i was going to? My point is you cannot say to anyone else what they should and shouldn't do, what makes you special, you haven't put in as much as Randy either. Randy has to take the good with the bad, it's that **** simple, I'm not talking about me, but some fans struggle to buy ST's, they should be allowed to cheer, boo or whatever in my opinion. Randy has had the fans backing for 5 years, he would have continued to have had it had he listened to the majority support as its a minority supporting McLeish.

Stu, fans who pay their way can do whatever the hell they like. Don't try and be all PC Plod.

Surprised he's left thought he was in line to be best man to Faulkner.

I'd like him honestly to come out and actually say what his reasoning is for employing McLeish because it seems from this side of things Randy, Paul and General think they don't deserve criticism and keep using the same line moving the club forward considering the manager has taken down a club twice in three seasons.

Not really interested anymore, he's done the damage and disappeared, simple.

Do you think he'll fit into Tin Tin's style.

Expect the announcement to be post 5pm. Due to offices being closed etc so no one can complain when it happens.

On a side note can you wish Faulkner all the best for his wedding day, no wonder he's rushed this appointment so he can actually get married. Totally out of his depth at this level, as for customer experience level, 6 e-mails sent and not one response.

General, question why have ticket prices been increased when we're selling our best player and got the most negative manager in football, obviously your ambition has changed so shouldn't the prices reflect this.

The Premier League experience is a myth the fact he's been relegated twice in his 3 seasons.

There won't be anyone singing that mate. I wonder how they'll play his introduction as i'm pretty sure Villa fans will turn up when he's paraded. Its funny remember MON arriving, fans come out in support and we get McLeish and they'll be protests.

He's got this one totally wrong in my opinion and if Sid is removed from his backroom staff i will be completely dismayed at what is going on.

Can't believe the amount of fans turning with this, it's a disgraceful decision and clearly shows no vision, planning of our football club. No doubt the Americans will put on that we're moving forwards, how's that Randy you sell our best player then bring in the most negative manager in football? We are going BACKWARDS! As for this balls bollocks, sorry disagree, McLeish should put a pound on the lottery with his luck, get a team relegated twice in three years, he's getting paid two million a year and you think he has balls do me a **** favour. All I'm saying guys keep your necks ready for long ball. Another thing if Gordon Cowans is sacked from the club I will not step foot in that club.

Aston Villa are set to make an announcement on Thursday regarding the vacant manager's post after holding talks with Alex McLeish, the BBC has learnt. "It won't take long before Villa owner Randy Lerner and McLeish accept they are a good fit," said BBC Radio 5 live's Pat Murphy.

can someone get on twitter, the rumour has been made up by blues fans!!!

Broken down due to fan pressure.

Lerner will not bow down to fan pressure i'm sure of it, it all boils down now due to a potential wrangle with Birmingham.

It's my opinion he's had some input, just he's not left on bad terms, no doubt they've asked GH about Tin Tin!

Sky are loving this in a time when they're quiet!

You have to remember Mantis McLeish and Houllier go way back, McLeish stayed went to Lyon to learn from GED!

I honestly can't see Randy backing down on this, I also think GH has had some input.

Though they did say Shearer was going to Cardiff.

Talks have gone well according to Sky.

I think they'll be shocked at that protest.

DVIN, this is a done deal, you really think there only just meeting for an interview now, no chance. That interview comment was not for the benefit of the FANS, it was a reaction to the shite down the road with their threats.
