Exactly.

How many times has he got Birmingham relegated from the Premier League? And people say Avram Grant's bad.

Never thought I'd say this, but suddenly McClaren doesn't look like such a bad option. I have a horrible feeling we may end up regretting that one.

Hoping the board still have an ace up their sleeve, but I can't say I'm hopeful of that.

Who - Dr. Jozef Vengloš?

Has Randy Lerner been to the 'Mike Ashleys Guide To Entertaining the Fans And Running A Football Club' seminars?

I hear Joe Kinnear wants a route back into football...

Why? Because he has decided to keep quiet through this whole procedure? He is nothing like Mike Ashley.

People seem to think we're doomed, but it's just the media trying to sell rubbish stories because there's hardly anything happening in football at the moment.

The media are losing the plot from our silence.

Here's a good one:

What a shambles at Villa. A total and utter disgrace. Lerner and Faulkner should hang their heads in shame.

Awww, diddums. Poor ickle journalist got nothing to report, so has thrown toys out of pram. Bless.

Bookies favorite

But not with many supporters


I don't want Moyes either

Who do you want then?

Annnnnd the circus opens for another day.

Villa have replied "No comment" to questions from journalists in regards to McLeish.

Managers who resign usually have a job to go to

Could Villa afford the compo

villa fans can hardly bellyache about the press,when the club appear intent on fueling speculation by issuing " no comment " statements

Can I suggest Avram Grant!

“They know me at Aston Villa and, given the opportunity, I would love to get in there and turn things around for the club."

It would be one of the greatest acts of football treachery ever if he joins Villa. I think loyalty in football is over-egged, but there has to be a point at which it becomes just downright despicable. As much as I hate Birmingham, he would be taking the piss with this one.

If he joines Villa it will firmly be Lerner and Co out.

More bad news flying around. I'm getting rather sick of this now.

Signs put up outside the Holte Pub and Villa Park "McLeish Not Welcome".

You sound like you think we should choose one of those two

TalkBollocks reporting McLeish is manager..

I'm not going to believe it until I hear it from a more reliable source than TalkShite.

It's been confirmed on Heroes & Villains by a trusted source.

How stupid are the board if this actually happens? This would be the worst appointment I've ever seen. It defines all logic.

TalkSport also broke McLeish resigning before BBC and Sky, and some bookies have stopped taking bets.

What a sad day for this club.

This has got to be up there with the most ridiculous decision ever made by a clubs board. I could understand it if he had been an amazing manager at Birmingham, he spent loads, took them to the brink of bankruptcy and got them relegated from a poor league.
