Ingram85 Posted June 16, 2011 Share Posted June 16, 2011 Welcome to AVFC McLeish and good luck If the protest was about his ability rather than the fact he managed at birmingham than why was there no protest against Martinez? why was there no protest against McClaren? Exactly. Give the man a chance, if he doesnt prove up to it then he will be replaced. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maradona10 Posted June 16, 2011 Share Posted June 16, 2011 Pat Murphy- 3 Year deal and it will be announced this afternoon, basically to allow everyone at Villa to go home if protests start again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly. Give the man a chance, if he doesnt prove up to it then he will be replaced.Because McLaren is a better manager than McLeish and Martinez is also a better manager with lots of potential. Both managers also don't play ridiculously boring football either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maradona10 Posted June 16, 2011 Share Posted June 16, 2011 Because last time i checked Martinez never got his side relegated or nor did McLaren so whats your point. Welcome McLeish but hope your tenure is not long. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shillzz Posted June 16, 2011 Share Posted June 16, 2011 Welcome McLeish. You are now manager of Aston Villa FC, and no longer associated with BCFC, that's in the past and needs to be left there. All the best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
P3te Posted June 16, 2011 Share Posted June 16, 2011 if he doesnt prove up to it then he will be replaced. my fear is another farce like this summer again in 12 months time if that happens the club is screwed on all fronts we desperately need mcleish to surprise everyone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

villaboyjay Posted June 16, 2011 Share Posted June 16, 2011 Its happening this afternoon. philmcnulty Pat Murphy reports on @bbc5live that McLeish should be confirmed as Aston Villa manager "in the next couple of hours." Three-year deal. #fb At least 'someone' apparently knows what is happening.. Apparently being the 'key' word.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ingram85 Posted June 16, 2011 Share Posted June 16, 2011 I dont buy it, wigan only just stayed up and many on here were in uproar that we dared approach him, with schteve people were begging the general, moaning and cursing, threatening to not renew their ST etc..... the protest was because he is coming from the blue's, would people have protested against big sam? His style is perceived as just as negative as mcleish's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Willy_Evergo Posted June 16, 2011 Share Posted June 16, 2011 We obviously have to lower our expectations but I still can't understand why we couldn't go for an up and coming name like Poyet or Greyson rather than plumping for someone we know will be mediocre and divisive. You saw the reactions when Martinez and McClaren were bin the frame. Gus Poyet or Grayson would probably blow the VT servers up, not to mention the lynch mob that would have gone down VP. Basically, if it werent Ancelotti or Moyes...people were always going to moan Poyet would have been a great appointment. No sense at all in appointing McLeish. All-time low for me I agree...Poyet would have been a great appointment. But were you saying that three weeks ago?? I doubt it. Hindsights a wonderfull thing aint it.
