It's all over. Alex McLeish is gone, and not one tweet, post, facebook update by a Villa fan expresses sorrow. Mainly relief. So what sealed his fate? The lack of wins?? 9 in 42, including one games against Hereford United who got relegated from the football league (even though we didn't score until 80mins) and one against Bristol Rovers, also of League Two. Was it the dyer performances?? Well negative ...

The message boards have been going crazy. Dreadful manager, relegated twice with Blues, finished third with Rangers...

of them together are not mobile enough to deal with most premiership strike forces. Maybe giving
the boy Clarke a run or buying in January is the best option. They are two slow for a partnership. ...

At a time when many people are giving out about Villa's lacklustre performances and disappointment with the board for what is seen as a lack of ambition, maybe we should take a step back and look at how the most successful manager in the history of English football (or probably any club in world), and maybe dream that a similar journey may be beginning at Villa Park.
