macandally Posted May 2, 2012 Share Posted May 2, 2012 Its funny how the same people who said "protests achieve nothing" and have been proved wrong, are now saying that "no further protests are necessary". Wrong again, a few on here have never been right!!!! The only reason that McLeish is on the rocky ground he currently finds himself is due to the thoughts, actions and protests of a few who actually stepped beyond your apathy to let the board and the owner know exactly what they thought of Alex Bloody McLeish. Churchills speech springs to mind here "Never have so many, owed so much, to so few". Bloody right! For the rest of you who advocated the "Do nothing" approach, I suggest you do one as your stance achieved nothing then and to do it now would only suggest a tolerance of McLeish. It aint over till the fat lady sings, keep protesting till its confirmed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaGoMarching Posted May 2, 2012 Share Posted May 2, 2012 What sort of manager doesn't know the injury progress of his star striker? this sounds like he bumped into the bloke down the bullring. **** off Mcleish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MMFy Posted May 2, 2012 Share Posted May 2, 2012 The Bent comments are preparation for an excuse for not scoring on the next two games. If Bent was available, we would score hatfulls of goals, of course. It's not McLeish's NEVER ATTACK tactics that is bad for us, it is the injuries. McLeish is a word removed.

Wrong again, a few on here have never been right!!!!. Did I miss something? Is McLeish no longer the manager? Or were the 'protests' about something entirely different? I'm still against protests. I haven't been proven wrong. McLeish is still here. I think the results & league finish will be enough for Randy to make up his mind. No amount of poorly written letters or incorrectly spelt banners will change his mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AshVilla Posted May 2, 2012 Share Posted May 2, 2012 smacks of a desperate man these latest comments are More blaming more excuses why cant he just put up shut up and admit he's a useless football manager The whole world can see it other than McLeish and his lovers in the media Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paddywhack Posted May 2, 2012 Share Posted May 2, 2012 I would have to suggest the reason McLeish is on 'rocky ground' at the monent is because he's taken us into a relegation battle and is a terrible manager, not because he got booed. Good effort though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coda Posted May 2, 2012 Share Posted May 2, 2012 He has to go in the summer. He was forced to stay in the dugout against West Brom for fear of fans having a go at him. Has this happened at other clubs? You can't have a manager who's hiding from his own club's fans, it's a ridiculous situation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

villabromsgrove Posted May 2, 2012 Share Posted May 2, 2012 The decision to replace AM in two weeks time has already been taken in my opinion. This season has seriously damaged both Randy and the Villa. The potential for further catastrophic damage if AM is left in charge next season is massive, and RL will not take that chance.

pacbuddies Posted May 2, 2012 Share Posted May 2, 2012 I would have to suggest the reason McLeish is on 'rocky ground' at the monent is because he's taken us into a relegation battle and is a terrible manager, not because he got booed. Good effort though. Did our relegation battle only start just immediately after Bolton scored their second goal? Do you believe that Lerner and Faulkner were going to release their statement regardless of the Bolton result and create a knock on effect that has some fans on here believing that McLeish will be gone at the end of the season (although they have no evidence)?

romavillan Posted May 2, 2012 VT Supporter Share Posted May 2, 2012 Why the Fook is AM asking Bent to be on the bench when he knows he's not kicking the ball yet? That could be a silly question .... he only needs to head the ball really! Alex McLeish insists Villa won't rush Darren Bent back before the end of the season - but the record signing is making good progress. McLeish revealed he explored the possibility of calling on Bent for Villa's Barclays Premier League survival push. But, although the 28-year-old striker is progressing well with his recovery from ankle surgery, it was decided not to risk him for the games against Tottenham or Norwich. "I said 'are you ready to go on the bench at the weekend or something," said the Villa boss. "He said: 'No, not quite, but I'm making good progress, so boss it might be too soon'. "I don't believe there is a chance of him playing again for Villa this season. "The doc thinks he's got a chance for the Euros though, so if he's talking he's talking about four or five weeks. "He's running and he's working individually with the physios. "I'm not sure if he's at the level of striking a ball yet, but he can't be far away from that now. "The physios will still be working on him to get him back to his peak fitness again. "We have to make sure he gets back good and proper." i didn't read it that way to be honest. i don't think he was going to put him on the bench if he couldn't kick a ball. the thing i didn't like about that is how vaguely he seemed aware of bent's progress. if your best striker was out you'd be well on top of every second of progress he was making towards being fully fit. no "not sure" about it!

It'll be a disaster if the club persists with McLeish. They must think fans have short memories if they hope McLeish is going to be supported come August.

Randy must be aware that there would be McLeish out protests from the first match of the season until AM is sacked. He simply cannot afford to start next season on that basis. That's why I'm sure AMs' fate has been sealed by the events of recent weeks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
