Nabby Posted April 4, 2012 Share Posted April 4, 2012 Faulkner might now have a clue employing a manager but he must have something about him to get decent sponsorship and kit deals given the fact the team have performed shit most of the season.Should we just about stay up I can not see how much longer they can keep employing someone so universial unliked by the fans and performing so badly and hope to attract investment. What horrifies me is how bad we are at defending I mean for FFS the third goal on Saturday why the hell wasn't Heskey on the near post ? Honestly the worst I throught we would be this year was grinding out boring 1-0 wins...how wrong I was Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
switters Posted April 4, 2012 Share Posted April 4, 2012 McLeish finally wins something: http://www.football365.com/topical-top-10/7647727/Top-Ten-Hated-By-Their-Own-Fans 1. Alex McLeish By far the most hated man on this list, McLeish has done little to placate the Villa fans who were outraged by his appointment in the summer. The football has been dire, his best signing has said it's the worst season of his career, Gabby Agbonlahor is begging for the campaign to end and the team are teetering just above the relegation pack. It's no wonder Villa supporters are protesting. Indeed, many are still scratching their heads over why McLeish was ever given the job in the first place. Not only was he manager of the club's arch rivals, he also wasn't a very good one, taking Birmingham down into the Championship. Twice. There's clearly no way forward under Big 'Eck and the torch and pitchfork brigade will only grow more vociferous unless he scarpers this summer. More of this please, media.

SeanO Posted April 4, 2012 Share Posted April 4, 2012 I keep looking every day on Newsnow hoping against hope that the McRegulator has gone but he's a stubborn ****, guess he isn't leaving until he has achieved what he set out to do :-( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sexbelowsound Posted April 4, 2012 Share Posted April 4, 2012 McLeish says "Criticism is fine, as long as it is deserved" is the headline Talksport news are going with. Slightly skewing of his words their by Talksport as you would expect but still, we all know at the moment it is more than deserved and in most cases I would say it has been slightly reserved. We deserve and expect much more than 15th in the league and dire football, even if the media and other teams fans don't agree. I really like this quote from the Cleveland Browns fan Mike Poljke jnr "This is the thing, we don't even expect you to be good, we just want you to be watch-able, do you realise how low our expectations are?!" We aren't expecting the League title, We aren't even expecting European football but what we do expect is for you to show us attractive, attacking football and a passion and desire to fight for this club and we will accept nothing less.

mjmooney Posted April 4, 2012 VT Supporter Share Posted April 4, 2012 There were plenty of better managers out-of-work at the time of Houllier's departure. Some were pretty unrealistic (e.g. Ancelotti) but some were very gettable, like Hughes. This is why I am still absolutely baffled as to why we went and tapped up McLeish.Hughes and all the others would have wanted transfer money. There is no money. McLeish was the only one willing to accept that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CI Posted April 4, 2012 Share Posted April 4, 2012 Hang on, there's been money, Given, Hutton, Jenas, Zog, Keane that's the best part of 40m when you factor in wages Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

McLeish was the only one willing to accept that. Hughton would've bee na good shout, I've said this all along. I'd rather the club have taken a gamble on an unknown than hire a known failure. I still understand why people keep saying he was the only one who would've taken the job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
