[SaleWolf]

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahahahahahahahahahahahaha!

 

[WasStefan]

Pmsllll

 

[Rocky_Balllboa]

Apocolypse for the Vile!!

 

[sedgwolf1980]

Truly unbelievable.

 

[Bankswolf II]

He'll win a game and they will be talking europe again, good news for us I dont rate him whatsoever

 

[Jungleee]

Love it.

 

[kennyB]

And now he wants to take Scott Dann from Blues!

 

[Shergar]

there is nothing more suicide inducing than the sound of the whinging brumay twang.... talksport is like classic radio this morning

 

[haden-wolf]

Danns now being talked about with 12m bids! should have got him in when Cov did

 

[haden-wolf]

DENIS MORTIMER - hero of VP now getting it in the neck for suggesting those opposing this are not villa fans! lmfao

 

[Sedgley Gold N Black]

Villa seem to be selling their best stars and will now sign half a team that got their local rivals relegated to replace them.

The Villa fans are after his blood now, imagine if he signs a few players from blues,they turn out to be duds and Villa go through a bad patch.

A bemusing appointment to say the least.

I think this will all go pear shaped for Villa, particulary given that they will lose some good players. Personally, I expect them to struggle next year. What are the odds on Mcleish taking two different teams down in successive years?

 

[Wednesbury Wolf]

Why all the anti-Mcleish posts he is a decent manager and for the sake of 5 mins we would be down and Birmingham in the premier league.

The next Avram Grant?

 

[woop woop barmy army]

There second home game in is against us, could really work in our favour if he dont win his first two games, could be the final nail in the villa coffin if we go and beat them on there patch again.

I agree he is quite a decent manager, but if Villa start badly, the crowd will get on him much quicker than any other manager they might appoint. I am also not sure that some of the players will necessarily take to him. It actually wouldn't surprise me if he didn't last the whole season. Some things are not meant to be in football, meaning some managers don't seem right for certain teams and this is what I see here.

This. Football's such a fickle game. A few decent results & it will quickly be forgotten. Same was said about Pardew when he was appointed. Granted McLeish's current brand of football isn't great - but at the bottom of the PL managers use fair means or foul to stay up. His football is certainly no worse than Stoke's when they first came up & as mentioned he was one goal/5 minutes away from keeping Blues up at our expense.

 

[Bostin]

I can see the banner over Villa park now..... 'Alex McLeish, Black Country legend'

Liking the fact that we play them 3rd game of the season too. Could put some real pressure on if we have a repeat of last years result!

 

[W01ves]

What are the odds for McLeish to be the next PL manager sacked this season?

 

[Westport Wolf]

Hilarious!

 

[leedswolf]

Brilliant.

 

[Hoganstolemywife]

I reckon he'll do well tbh - just to $$$$ off Blouses

 

[wolf of sedgley]

He didn't do too well considering he spend loads of money the past two seasons.

 

[Mugwump]

Shades of Hodgson to Liverpool and Wilson to Sheff Utd imo. A manager none of the fans want. Its not going to end well for big eck.

 

[Shergar]

Birmingham Mail has reported there are 100 Villa fans outside the Holte End protesting. Police have confirmed it is the best atmosphere they have had down there for 4 years!

 

[Jungleee]

At least the Aston Villa fans have made their views on the appointment felt nationally. Shows their form of protest is/was effective - despite the fact it didn't actually work.

 

[Mr Wolf]

They're 3 threads on this already

If it didn't work, how was it effective?

I think it's an ubelieveable naivety from the board to appoint him, the first sign and dip in form the fans will be baying for his head.

But that's what you get from a foreign owner who knows nothing about local rivalry.

"Looks like the Ginge is in" must've been too confusing for him

 

[BeardyWolf]

Pretty sure Lerners aware of local rivalry... He's just a pro troll and a attention seeker.

 

[manc_wolf]

hilarious...
