Your manager. Mcleash. I am amazed you went for this clown. Appauling appointment. Villa have a history of playing decent football. And you went for the guy who plays the worst football in england. And for a guy who doesnt even win. I wouldnt accept boring footie even if the manager got results. Your boss does niether. He is the worst manager in the world...never seen anyone sap all the support and life out of so many clubs as that clown. I like villa so wish you all the best. I hope you get rid of the clown and can get back to being a vibrant football club
There are no Villa fans here mate. Although I 100% agree with your article. ****ing hate Alex McLeish . The guy is destroying Villa.
McLeish sucks all the life out of clubs. I doubt there will be villa fans anywhere if he keeps it up. At least not those willing to put their hands in their pockets to buy the clubs tickets and merchandise.
birmingham were one of the most dour teams you will ever come across, it was great for PL football that they were relegated. as for his style of football, it is no coincidence that martin taylor broke eduardo's leg and this season players like warnock and hutton in particular must have caused injuries to other players getting into the double figures at least......
Warnock, Collins, Heskey....are just such terrible players. I dont think I could pay to watch them....
McLeish is doing wonders at villa. Whilst we were dour at least we defended well and rarely lost at home!
It sums McLeish up when he allegedly is thinking of buying Joe Lewis from Peterborough, and as a POSH fan I can honestly say Lewis is sh**e
Chelsea struggling to sell their initial allocation for the biggest game of their season. Massive club.
LOL. Took 3400 last night for an Cup game v a small club for a night game that was live on TV... You only took 3,000 for a Sat 3pm kick off not live on TV for a day out in the big smoke. And returned 3000 tickets. Villa brought double for their cup game.
We sold our allocation for an unimportant game. You didn't sell your allocation for the biggest game of your season so far. The big teams take the entire bottom tier. You had just over half. All the glory hunting plastics are already abandoning you for clubs that win things.
Leicester taken their full allocation 6k for a Sunday kick off. Birm barely managed 3k for a Sat 3pm ko.
Er, no. Birmingham have worse away support than Leicester though. No wonder McLeish left you. And seeing as you are in freefall after bending over for us in the Cup, maybe your fans will regret not making that trip to the Bridge. We won't be playing you - the Midlands' fifth biggest club - for a long time.
But judging by the numbers you posted, Chelsea also have worse away support than Leicester. For a team that used to win things, that is appalling. At least a few of you got to witness the mighty Chelsea scrape past a team that cost about 100th of what they cost. It's not us you need to worry about not playing again, it's the likes of Barcelona, Bayern Munich and AC Milan that you won't be seeing for a while. At least Spurs and Arsenal can keep the London flag flying in the CL.
No, but at least they'll be there next year. Fortunately we've still got promotion to play for; in fact, that was why we played our reserves in both matches against you. (massive congratulations on beating them, by the way) Good luck against Leicester; perhaps your season won't be a complete failure after all.
The whole project's only cost them half a billion and counting. I can't wait till the oligarch calls in the £732m "loan". Leveraged buyout anyone? They're too stupid and arrogant to see the sword dangling by a hair over their head while they stuff their faces. Chelsea.
