Morpheus Posted May 1, 2012 Share Posted May 1, 2012 Should this be the case then we'll definately be relegated next season. However, I tend to believe, more in hope than anything else, that Lerner will recognize we are in dire need of major funding in the summer and will certainly make enough available to attract a good manager including the revenue from player sales.

villabromsgrove Posted May 1, 2012 Share Posted May 1, 2012 McLeishs' position is now totally untenable, the fans and the media both agree for a change. Our usually reclusive owner will have to inhabit the real world of Premiership football for a few weeks, while he employs a sane and sensible replacement. This time Randy please take on board Villa fans opinions. Their collective experience and current football knowledge may stop you making a balls up of the next appointment!

Jimzk5 Posted May 1, 2012 Share Posted May 1, 2012 mcleish is the master of his own downfall at villa. i agree a minority of fans have stupid expectations, all clubs have these types, but most villa fans i meet, speak to at the game are all in agreement that the emergance of man city curtailed our ambitions and think around the top 10 is our level, such as everton. after last seasons turmoil we needed a manager who could install confidence in players after houllier destroyed it within a month of joining the club, the players had gone from having MON telling them everyday how good they were and to believe in themselves. to houllier telling them they were unfit and not good enough, end then onto mcleish he blames the players for his shortcomings. it is so **** obvious that we cant defend and we buckle under any sort of sustained pressure, so he sets us up to defend and then hit the long ball. then when we inevitably concede his standing on the touch line flailing his arms around like a coke head at a rave going tits at the players. not once this season has he stood infront of the camera and said "i take the blame, i got the tactics wrong on this one" its always "how can you win games when we defend as bad as that?" i dunno alex, you were the defender that, as you so smugly say won the cup winners cup with aberdeen so you have some pedigree as a centre half, yet cant teach ours how to clear a **** corner or even attack one at the opposite end. our players look scared to go past the half way line, the only players in our team that have any sort of self confidence are ireland and zog, the 2 players his fallen out with because they dont defend for 90 minutes like he asks. we the fans have to take some blame, the atmosphere at villa park over the last 18 months has been poisonous. every pass that goes astray, wrong decision is greeted with groans and boos, hardly a conductive atmos that only seems to scare the players even more. is lambert the answer? id say he has a better chance of succeding than mcleish, because he is like MON, makes ok players look good. wheres as mcleish makes ok players shocking.

steve_avfc Posted May 1, 2012 Share Posted May 1, 2012 ALEX McLeish will definitely be in charge for Sunday’s survival showdown against Spurs at Villa Park and the last match of the season at Norwich A full inquest into the club’s worrying slide to the lower reaches of the table will be held after the season ends in mid-May, when McLeish’s position will be reviewed. The manager refused to look beyond Villa’s run-in when questioned about his future last week but could be relieved of his duties even if the claret and blues avoid the drop.

steve_avfc Posted May 1, 2012 Share Posted May 1, 2012 Sack him now, then have the inquest. Managerial merry go round ? Hughton to West Brom, Mcleish returns to SHA ? Or Mcleish to West Brom ? I don't care where he goes as long as he's not at Villa. If Mcleish had any shred of decency, he would resign now. He should send a resignation email to Randy. If Randy had respect for us fans who pay his money, he would sack him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AshVilla Posted May 1, 2012 Share Posted May 1, 2012 I'm sure the board will be reminded how much the fans do not want McLeish at McLeish Out day against spurs It should be the last nail in the coffin for McLeish Latest i heard 20k flyers and 4 banners have been ordered thanks to donations from Villa fans including myself I have always said i will not put another penny into the club while the clown is in charge but i wont hesitate to put money into a cause getting the tool removed or the pedal for petrov appeal Roll on next season new start new ideas new manager different style of football!

foreveryoung Posted May 1, 2012 Share Posted May 1, 2012 The Tottenham protest 100% needs to go ahead. It will be confirmation McLeish had better not be here next season. The little protest at the Bolton game, has finally got us noticed in the media and the Tottenham game i believe will be the demise of Mcleish and a reason he personally will not want to be here next season weather Lerner wants him here or not.
