Ingram85 Posted April 4, 2012 Share Posted April 4, 2012 Well thats me done with the villa for now, they truly have no idea and its obvious mcleish is here to stay. As for the interview? Old boys club looking after one of their own. Kean, wenger, mancini, AVB, McCarthy have all had the screw turned by the media yet mcleish gets **** all. Bollocks to it all, wake me up when mcleish or faulkner or lerner have pissed off, preferably all three. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villa4europe Posted April 4, 2012 Share Posted April 4, 2012 agree, how come nobody ever mentions the 7 defenders vs spurs? i think (hope) if we play badly against liverpool, set ourselves up for a draw or even a low scoring defeat (again) after what wigan did there and how shit they have been lately, then another section of the media will turn on him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

djamfisher Posted April 4, 2012 Share Posted April 4, 2012 Let's be honest nobody was going to be satisfied with that interview unless he resigned live on air. Yeah suppose, but why do the media continue to give him an easy ride, and ignore the blatantly obvious facts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jon_c Posted April 4, 2012 Share Posted April 4, 2012 I deludedly thought he may do a good job here when he came from Birmingham (sort out the defence etc..) But I now think he is a cancer on the history of Aston Villa, and if he stays much longer, he will go down as being statiscally our worst manager ever.

Big_John_10 Posted April 4, 2012 Share Posted April 4, 2012 The media seem to believe that just surviving is acceptable for our club. It's ridiculous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Posted April 4, 2012 Author Share Posted April 4, 2012 To be fair the tame nature of the questions was to be expected, especially from Andy Gray who gives this impression of being a Villa fan but is anything but. Mcleish had an easy ride but still made a mess of it though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Morley_crosses_to_Withe Posted April 4, 2012 Share Posted April 4, 2012 Lol! One of the, if not THE, most unpopular manager in our history thinks that it's only the minority that dislike him! WRONG! The majority think you're an inept word removed, so f*ck off you deluded t*sser! This is why I believe we need a protest - to show McDeluded how most fans really feel.

BOF Posted April 4, 2012 Moderator Share Posted April 4, 2012 In hindsight, the protest before the hiring has been very counter-productive to the Villa fans' cause moving forward. From day one it gave the media the convenient and somewhat false justification that our only problem with McLeish, no matter what he has done or continues to do during his tenure, is the fact that he came from where he came from. After all, by the media's reasoning, that was 'our' problem from day one and nothing has changed. It's a convenient brush to tar us all with. Remember that the media have also never really shared our grander image of our own club. We've long complained about the less than fair representation we get compared to the usual lot on TV - even going back to our league winning days. So if anything, this recent slump only puts us closer to where the media expect us to be. They're hardly going to emphasise a 'plight' when they don't see it as a plight so much as where they think we probably should be. Consequently they will give McLeish an easy time of it and he won't get the pressure placed on him that he might otherwise get from questions and conferences with the various meeja peeps.

But then the fear of who Lerner would get in next would kick in I have no faith in Lerner's appointment abilities but surely he couldn't mess it up as badly again. The timing is crucial. We could've had Hodgson who isn't great but is a big step up from McLeish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
