Big_John_10 Posted March 25, 2012 Share Posted March 25, 2012 Randy only looks good because of who he replaced and the period in our history when he took over. He has been a complete and utter failure and our future under this idiot looks just as bad as the dark days of doug and DOL. There really isn't much hope when you look how shocking he has been at the browns. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaAndLoyal Posted March 25, 2012 Share Posted March 25, 2012 Completely true. And what people fail to understand is that Lerner has actually been a failure from the very start, not just the last 18 months. It was him who sanctioned MON's crazy transfers and wages which we clearly couldn't sustain. Our wage bill was higher than Spurs, despite their squad being far superior both in terms of quality and size - yet Lerner gave the go ahead to all these deals. Only now (or for the last 18 months or so) are we seeing the true fall out from this. He is a complete and utter liability, who knows nothing about football or running a successful sports business.

Taxahunter Posted March 25, 2012 VT Supporter Share Posted March 25, 2012 Anyone else notice how McLeish always talks about the defence and conceding "soft goals" and never about creating more chances? It's always about that or "frustrating" the opposition. So he is basically against us, because the way he plays he is frustrating us as supporters and not the teams we are playing against Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cule4life Posted March 25, 2012 Share Posted March 25, 2012 I did laugh though as i kept looking over at the score. Villa made Walcott look like Messi !! Villa are finished along with the mediocre football we get served. Lerner should go and so should MCleish. Its actually embarrassing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cule4life Posted March 25, 2012 Share Posted March 25, 2012 the only reason Lerner looks good is because of who he took over. In all honesty Lerner will take Villa down the same road once Bent is sold and its inevitable until Villa are relegated and rightly so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oaks Posted March 25, 2012 Share Posted March 25, 2012 Randy has now appointed two managers who seem to accept defeat to easily and on a few occasions before a ball is even kicked. This is a very worrying trend that seemed to have developed in Cleveland. Now I remember when McLeish got the job, I though well at least he seems an ok guy unlike the clueless clearing in the woods Houllier. How wrong was I? He dosent ever seem to take any responsibility for anything wrong with the team. Corners for instance, we are yet to score a goal from a corner this season, yet have conceded the most. A truly shocking stat that any manager should hang there head in shame, these are the **** basics for christ sake. I still say this. An Aston Villa manager who gets less than 40 points in a season should leave with no compensation with his **** head in the sand and never get another job in football. Yes this is not McLeishs team **** me I hope I never get to see that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigcomputerguy Posted March 25, 2012 Share Posted March 25, 2012 well well well look at this sound familiar http://www.petitiononline.com/eckout06/petition.html We, the undersigned, demand that the board of Rangers Football Club either obtains the immediate resignation or alternatively, immediately cancels the contract of Alex McLeish (manager). We strongly believe that Mr McLeish, has neither the tactical nor the man management skills essential to a club of Rangers calibre. We hereby state that Alex Mcleish no longers has the support of the Rangers Fans named below. We believe that the fact that Mr McLeish is still in charge of our club is nothing less than a disgrace, we as fans demand that this situation is resolved without further delay.

Keyblade Posted March 25, 2012 Share Posted March 25, 2012 Where is the media who like to jump on managers' backs at any given opportunity ultimately leading to their sacking? We **** need you right about now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Morpheus Posted March 25, 2012 Share Posted March 25, 2012 The media have noticed. Merse on Sky Sports has been saying from the start of the season how poor we are and he tipped us as possible relegation fodder. Le Tiss yesterday, again on Sky Sports, stated that we were very poor and alluded to us needing more points to be safe. Its just that since O'Neill left our present financial state has been widely reported in the media and this excuse is used whenever AM is mentioned.

VillaRoy Posted March 25, 2012 Share Posted March 25, 2012 Shocking season, we are 15 points behind Newcastle, 7 behind Everton and 6 behind Norwich and Swansea. Terrible season, transitional or not. We've been in a transition for 2 years. With the games we got coming up, those teams above us are gonna pull further away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Houlston Posted March 25, 2012 Share Posted March 25, 2012 I still cant get my head round some of McLeishs comments after the game. He said something like "people expected us to win here but they need to be realistic" and then he followed it up with "the players need to believe they can come places like this and win."

Hanky Posted March 25, 2012 Share Posted March 25, 2012 We still need 3 points to be safe IMO. We'll probably stuble over the line but I can't see us getting above 40 points at the moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lexicon Posted March 25, 2012 Share Posted March 25, 2012 It's clear that we need a mass clear out of the current crop if McLeish is going to stay - the players we've got seemingly don't work well with him or vice versa ; he's always getting frustrated when we're playing shit but he can't seem to get them to do anything about it.

daz316 Posted March 25, 2012 Share Posted March 25, 2012 Genuinely would anyone be up for a protest at vp on a non match day? I can't believe this is happening and it looks like it is just being accepted. If a date is named soon on a Sunday or something who would come down? It needs to be done Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why are you trying to have a go at him for having some hope? Yes i did mention green shoots because at least in recent weeks the players looked committed and battled for a few points. Yesterday they looked a beaten team before kick off and from what I've read from people who actually went to the game (that's not you Trent) it was pretty woeful in terms of effort and application Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
