imavillan Posted April 27, 2012 Share Posted April 27, 2012 Here we go then the race is on.... 30 pages to the magical 1000 will it be before or after the Albion game? regardless of the results in the next three games and regardless of whether we stay up or go down.... his position is untenable, he has lost virtually all of the fans and he is most definitely a dead man walking.....its just a matter of time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smetrov Posted April 27, 2012 Share Posted April 27, 2012 'I couldn't even begin to think about next season,' says McLeish This is either the most elaborate bluff in footballing history - or Mcleish saying he won't be here next season......(i wouldn't bank on next week now) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Voinjama Posted April 27, 2012 Share Posted April 27, 2012 When will this reach 1000 pages. I predict 29th of April. On the 17th of April I predicted 1000 pages on 29th of April. Well the 29th of April is Sunday. What an incredible guess. Yes I am amzing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mykeyb Posted April 27, 2012 Share Posted April 27, 2012 Well my source thought he was going to quit tuesday night. Spent ages in the dressing room and then asked for all the media to assemble as he wanted to do one interview. Apparently he was forced to do one for Sky on their own afterwards All this was after the Lerner & Faulkner meeting. Th does seem to have been a huge shift from the media since tuesday Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really believe PF/RL/AM have come to an agreement that he goes at the end of the season. But I am sensing now that perhaps Alex doesn't want the stress - I reckon he will be gone by Monday morning - Barring an emphatic villa victory at the Hawthorns.

Philosopher Posted April 27, 2012 Share Posted April 27, 2012 I wish he and al the journo's would stop trying to blame the kids! The young players have been some of our best performers. Herd and Clark have been decent in defensive midfield. Baker didn't put a foot wrong against Bolton, it is was cuellar that made the mistakes. Weimann has delivered 4 points that we wouldn't have had overwise with his last minute goal against Fulham and his wonder strike against Stoke. Its been players like Hutton, N'Zogbia, Warnock, Dunne and Heskey that have been letting us down this season. Even Albrighton whose delivery has been rather shocking (surprising as up until this season that was considered one of his strengths) has been very positive and tried his heart out, which is more than we can say for some of our experienced players. The reality is from the first game of the season we have looked like a team scared to lose and that stems from the manager and his appointment.

Guest av1 Posted April 27, 2012 Share Posted April 27, 2012 Dead man walking now whilst the majority now realise Alex must go, got to admit Richard important still in what seems to be a minority in that i still (unfortunately) don't think he will leave/by sacked.

CI Posted April 27, 2012 Share Posted April 27, 2012 No agreements will have been made, to his face McLeish will have been backed to the hilt by Lerner The absolute priority is sticking together at this stage and getting the 3 or 4 points we will need to survive Anything else is just wild speculation Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VillaChris Posted April 27, 2012 Share Posted April 27, 2012 The Birmingham Mail has a photo and editorial of the one, yes that's right one, Villa fan who came forward after their appeal to find Villa fans in support of McLeish. I don't know how he had the nerve to let his photo and name be published so widely. He either has balls of steel or is on some strange medication! I read that. He said at the end Newcastle fans would never turn on their manager like we do. I think Sam Allayrdyce would have something to say about that.

dont_do_it_doug. Posted April 27, 2012 Share Posted April 27, 2012 But would changing it now have an adverse effect on the team? Sorry to chime in late on this one, but if you can explain how we could possibly perform any worse than we have been then it becomes a point worth discussing. It's clear he has been given some kind of ultimatum. What that is we don't know but I agree with my learned friend a few pages ago. Lose to the Baggies and the atmosphere against Spurs would be absolutely horrendous, I believe this has been taken into account. Truthfully, I don't think we have done enough as fans up until this point to make our feelings clear. I certainly haven't, I haven't been ONCE this season, for the first time in 22 years. So perhaps I have no right to moan about it but I do think had been more vocal a couple of months ago then this saga would have already have come to an end. As it stands we're staring down the barrel of a gun and so is McLeish. These are his last 3 games regardless so maybe it's too late for vocals? Lose to the Baggies and they don't sack him? We really have no choice but to get behind the team. UTV. As Ian Taylor tweeted today, squeaky bum time.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
