That was over 2 years ago.
Everyone dislikes McLeish for doing shit. Suddenly he picks up a rare scrappy league win and people with low ambition are shocked by an alien result. Now people dislike him again.
That's things changing very quickly.
Why should people have big ambition's though? We are not a top 6 club anymore. The days of teams like Man united and Chelsea fearing us because we could easily beat them on our day are gone. Those people getting happy over a scrappy win know every win is important right now.
We've been in the league since it's birth. Why should we be thankful of survival?
That means nothing right now. Do you think if we got relegated people will feel sorry for us because we have been here forever? Some people are just thinking realistically. Relegation is a possibility now. Those thinking we have any right to be in the top 10 are very hopeful. I've come to the reality that we are no longer the same side under Martin O'neill and are miles from it.
We're still a capable top 10 outfit. You don't have players like Given, Bent, Gabby etc and think relegation is a possiblity. But McLeish has made that happen because he has no place in the Premier League and it showed again today..
Agreed.
A decent manager would have us easily in right part of the table and not in the dunces half.
6 wins in 24 games is embarrasingly bad.:oops:
I know Lerner and co. has succesfully managed to regress some fans expectations to very low levels but any sensible person can see this is shit and unacceptable for Aston Villa as a club.
