macandally Posted February 13, 2012 Share Posted February 13, 2012 NO. Crazy appointment from the start and has fulfilled his potential by turning us into a dour, defensive, ineffective shadow of what we could be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pacbuddies Posted February 13, 2012 Share Posted February 13, 2012 At the risk of sounding like a Moderator (which I am not) can people please just vote, leave a brief comment and move on or this thread is in danger of becoming another McLeish thread and being locked.

harris21 Posted February 13, 2012 Share Posted February 13, 2012 Said no as his interview after the man city game was shocking... but don't know who else would take over if i'm honest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CastleBromVilla Posted February 13, 2012 Share Posted February 13, 2012 Yes, he should be given a chance to sort the squad out in the summer, bring the wage bill down, and hopefully RL will give him some money. He's had his hands tied so far, but if things don't improve at the start of next season, then we may need a change. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeMcKenna Posted February 13, 2012 VT Supporter Share Posted February 13, 2012 I have voted no, but feel that Lerner also has to review the position of Paul Faulkner as CEO who IMO has been an unmitigated disaster. How about a Poll regarding the CEO? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaAndLoyal Posted February 13, 2012 Share Posted February 13, 2012 No, no and no. Never wanted him, never will want him, never will understand why Randolph Lerner made one of the most perplexing and illogical decisions I can remember in the modern game. This will only end one way, badly. And RL and his credit card manager sidekick can leave too, as they are the route of all the problems we are now seeing.

flamingsombrero Posted February 13, 2012 Share Posted February 13, 2012 Definitely not the only problem at Villa at the moment but certainly one of the most damaging. There has been nothing displayed in his time here to suggest he can improve the current situation and plenty to suggest (Post match Man City being the most recent example) that there is no potential for improvement long term.

doggystyle Posted February 13, 2012 Share Posted February 13, 2012 Voted no....because he's shite,and will eventually take us down! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DelboyVilla Posted February 13, 2012 Share Posted February 13, 2012 A resounding no from me! Bring in a Cheif Operating Officer with experience at a football club and bring in the likes of Curbishley! Most times bringing in a new manager who is a good man manager, tactically sound and a wheeler dealer will have a positive effect on a good quality but clearly disillusioned side.

MrDuck Posted February 13, 2012 Share Posted February 13, 2012 Much as I'm in favour of giving someone time to prove themselves, sometimes - as was the case with Houllier - you can just tell nothing good is going to come of it from the start. Stupid appointment, get rid now and bring someone in who can actually motivate the players for the remainder of the season. And for God's sake don't let Randy and Faulkner choose the next manager!

Condimentalist Posted February 13, 2012 Share Posted February 13, 2012 Certainly not. At the same time, I think we should wait until the end of the season to sack him - unless it really does look like we might go down. Not because he's going to turn things around (which he isn't) but because after two duff appointments it's vital we get the next one right. If we sack him now we'd be scraping the barrel for his replacement, and fast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dodgyknees Posted February 13, 2012 Share Posted February 13, 2012 No: - Does not the get the best of the team. - Has failed time and time again to fix defensive errors, even after making it a priority and bringing them in for extra training sessions after a defeat early in the season. - Has failed to fix the issue of players not passing the ball to other members of the team and has not stopped the hot potato play and long ball. - Has failed to get the best out of our strikers more consistently. - Continually picking Emile Heskey when he has offered nothing in defence, midfield or attack. He is used as a man to lump the ball forward to, we lose possession more often than not. - Corners. Worst record in the league. - Home form, worst record for a number of years and nearly no win in 3 months which is nearly one half of the season. - Play too deep and too narrow, when we do play with wide players they are usually playing too deep to cover defensive errors of full backs. - Players out of form still picked, when players to come into form they have been dropped. - No plan B, we sit and play, we are one dimensional, we are easy to work out, easy to break down but do not have any idea as to how to break down teams, even those lesser than us. I can keep going. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villadude Posted February 13, 2012 Share Posted February 13, 2012 I've voted no, he simply doesn't have the know how to take us forward, he has to go along with other board members. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ender4 Posted February 13, 2012 Share Posted February 13, 2012 Voted NO. he shouldn't have been hired in the first place, too negative, tactically inept, poor results, poor previous history as a manager, not sure he can build a better team this summer.

Rossco76 Posted February 13, 2012 Share Posted February 13, 2012 I voted no, looking quite overwhelming at the moment. I do not trust McLeish to spend what little money will be available in the summer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dale Posted February 13, 2012 Share Posted February 13, 2012 No. Team has been reduced to an ambition free disgrace. No good was ever likely to come bar some 20 minute spells here and there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
