And in unrelated news, it looks like Alex McLeish has been sacked (according to Goal.com). Thoughts?


Great! I can't stand him and Villa have been appalling this season from what I've seen. You must be thrilled.

I really have tried to support him this season, when people had a go at him I tried to counter them with some positives. But after a while I just couldn't defend him any more because there was very little left to defend.

I'm probably happier that he has gone, but Aston Villa's problems run far deeper than McLeish.

Yeah I know there were injuries, financial problems etc. but God, the negativity of the man. Lambert seems to be an early favourite to take over, how would you feel about that?

To be honest, outside of the couple of Norwich games I've seen this season, I don't know much about him. Right now, he strikes me as similar to Chris Hughton, in that he would be an unknown quantity for a premier league club. He's guided Norwich to 12th and that's good, but is there any indication he could do the same at a club like Villa? I don't know.

I would go for Tony Pulis or Roberto Martinez, maybe even Mark Hughes or Stuart Pearce.

And who knows, maybe Andre Villas-Boas might see the humour in managing a team that shares his name and come to manage us (why do you think Arsene Wenger is at Arsenal?). I doubt that will happen though.
