McGregor1888 Posted April 6, 2012 Share Posted April 6, 2012 From a somewhat new US fan: Realistically (although from lurking here, idk if that exists on this forum) what will it take for McLeish to be sacked? If we finish 16-17, will Randy feel that our premiere league safety will be in jeopardy next season and be forced to make a change? Or will he feel that injuries, lack of own players, etc. are reason enough to give McLeish another full season to prove himself? As a billionaire, I doubt Randy will want to be proven wrong after making such a controversial decision. If McLeish is sacked, what faith should we have that Randy will find someone better than McLeish? I do admit it would be impossible for him to find someone worse, so I guess there is that positive. Sorry that my country has given you such a shit owner. Hopefully Randy will learn from these lessons pretty quickly. He's still a relatively young chairman after all. (Congratulations on choosing to follow the greatest club in the world, by the way!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thetrees Posted April 6, 2012 Share Posted April 6, 2012 karen brady? i think the suggestion was actually a piss take and not a serious suggestion Quite correct, it was very much tongue in cheek. The point that I have made on a number of occasions is that this mythical list of experienced "football" chief executives doesn't really exist. If it did, Ms Brady would be right up there and, although she may (or may not) be a decent businesswoman, I believe that her "football" credentials are tiny. Paul Faulkner is often put forward as Mr.Lerner's yes man. This is something that I doubt, mainly because I don't think that Mr.Lerner can afford to have a yes man running a remote business. It would not be in his interests. Steve Stride, the mention of whom began this sequence, was a yes man to an omnipresent dictator. Having stuck with the old git for so many years, his tolerant personality ensured that he enjoyed a decent reward. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was also here when we signed GTmk2, not exactly evidence of a great footballing mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CI Posted April 6, 2012 Share Posted April 6, 2012 Stride is now working for FIFA, I'm not sure if that's a good or bad thing for the CV Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tayls Posted April 6, 2012 Share Posted April 6, 2012 What would happen if..... We lose to Liverpool and then Stoke, AND THEN lose to Manu and Sunderland? Can you imagine what the Bolton game would be like!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AshVilla Posted April 6, 2012 Share Posted April 6, 2012 I expect us to get a point at best out of those 4 games which would make Bolton a six pointer for sure Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can you imagine what the Bolton game would be like!!!!! Well ....we play Liverpool at Anfield, nuff said Stoke have Peter Crouch, and we can't defend corners ?! Man U ...say no more And Sunderland will have a point to prove with MON in charge :!: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daweii Posted April 6, 2012 Share Posted April 6, 2012 I actually think the only game we can take a point or all three from is Liverpool.. Their form just isn't great right now it could very easily be like when we faced Chelsea earlier in the season, their form was shocking we all expected them to break their drought and we won 3-1. If we can do that again against another out of form team we'll be in a much better situation.. The rest though are relatively in form and will probably batter us.

PussEKatt Posted April 6, 2012 Share Posted April 6, 2012 It was only 4 games ago that we could'ent beat Blackburn and Wigan ? I doubt if Liverpool will be easier than either of them at Anfield ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevo985 Posted April 6, 2012 VT Supporter Share Posted April 6, 2012 The form guide and their home record, especially, shows that they might well be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
romavillan Posted April 6, 2012 VT Supporter Share Posted April 6, 2012 if we turn up against liverpool we can get something there. i knwo our home form has been atrocious but you'd think a point against the mighty stoke at villa park should be doable!

pacbuddies Posted April 6, 2012 Share Posted April 6, 2012 Nothing less than 3 points from the next 2 games is acceptable. We should be looking for at least a draw at Anfield against a side that is way off form and who lost to QPR and Wigan in recent times and we should be looking for a win at home to Stoke who are also off form. However, I suspect we will play our usual negative shit at Liverpool in an attempt to not lose and then gift them the 3 points to spare Dalglish's blushes for another week but I cannot find any reason or excuse for us not to win at home to Stoke.
