Running scared again, I think he'd sack him via text / fax / email anyway He doesn't seem the type to do it in the boardroom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lmarsha_926 Posted April 4, 2012 Share Posted April 4, 2012 I bet Lerner told McLeish at the interview, keep us up, don't spend any money and reduce wages. In that was he has 2 out of 3 so far. Why do you think he has not been sacked yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mantis Posted April 4, 2012 Share Posted April 4, 2012 Despite it looking increasingly likely that he's here for the long term, I still have high hopes that McLeish won't be Villa manager come August. It just doesn't make any sense to keep him, both from a financial and a football perspective. Then again, I remember that the people who could rid us of this monster are the same people who were stupid enough to employ him in the first place.

MR_Black_AVFC Posted April 4, 2012 Share Posted April 4, 2012 Whatever way you look at it, McLeish was rewarded for failing at his previous club with a bumper contract and the opportunity to stay in the PL. Only at Aston Villa this could happen. It is also laughable to remark that McLeish is this nice man, full of integrity. I hate Small Heath as much as the next Villa fan, but there is no integrity in the way he treated them - taking them down, knowing full well that relegation would put the club in a precarious position financially, and then resigning by e-mail. The man is a coward. If he takes us down this season and is offered another PL job (which is unlikely, but still) he'd do exactly the same to us. Here is another one for you. McCretin.

foreveryoung Posted April 4, 2012 Share Posted April 4, 2012 I wanted to start a "what kind of celebration would you perform, if he got sacked" thread, but did'nt know weather it would get locked. Or shall we just start it on here. I would have to have an all dayer down the local, it would be like Christmas come early! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

villaajax Posted April 4, 2012 Share Posted April 4, 2012 Since I don't go to games or watch matches on TV and can only occasionally bare to watch a stream, I haven't heard McLeish get a load of abuse at games in the way that Houllier did, or am I just missing it?

Just out of interest... There have been a few games where the supporters have got restless but the game that stands out is the Wigan away game where the atmosphere turned extremely nasty during the second half and pretty much the whole of the away end sang anti-McLeish songs. Obviously the Fulham home game was another, although the last minute goal took the sting out of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think everyone has just accepted we're shit and we're boring to watch this season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CI Posted April 4, 2012 Share Posted April 4, 2012 I'm starting to think sacking him may create the biggest lift and adrenalin buzz weve had all season If we lose the next 2 he has to go Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
