Something doesn't make sense here...
Why would Villa approach McLaren, then decline to talk to him, then approach McLeish instead ?
Personally I think McLaren would have been a far better proposition given his breadth of experience.
It can't be fans opinions, as McLeish wouldn't be in the driving seat if it was.
I'm sure Lerner knows what he's doing and I'm sure he can be very ruthless if he wants to be - you don't get to be a billionaire without it!
I would just like to understand the logic...
