McLeish has left

[Sussex Nomad]

Indeed, I'm loving all these twists and turns in the Championship, could play a massive role into how we do

I find it quite staggering that the Championship is rated the fifth best league in Europe... exciting times indeed, oh and bye bye Birmingham.

Saying that i would have thought McLaren would fit the Birmingham City post to a tee,remember they are in Europe.

According to Sky Sports sources...one of favourites to be next Villa manager

Why is this so funny?

Fifth ? So Prem,La Liga,Serie 'A' and ? Germany ?

In terms of attendance figures it is.

According to BBC, Billy Davies has been sacked by Forest and McLaren is going there..... the merry-go-round continues.

 

[Lord Bamber]

are these managerial movements counted as this season or next?

 

[Sussex Nomad]

Not sure why they rate the Championship fifth best, whether because of attendances or whatever... but it is. Google it, I'm watching the Grand Prix!

 

[Philzo-93]

Reckon you are very close in your summing-up. Simply Villa were and never will be able to compete,they think they are 'big' but facts say different.

I think it's O'Neill that was the competitiveness within the club.

 

[Sussex Nomad]

They won the European Cup, I think that gives them a claim to fame.

 

[Philzo-93]

Why is this so funny?

Football gold from a neutral aspect. Both set of fans don't want this to happen. Exciting times all round.

SSN just read out a letter asking for Poyet to sign for Birmingham now that's funny!!!

 

[Falkor]

Billy Davies been sacked from forset aswell.

Brum are in freefall

 

[Falkor]

Why is this so funny?

Brum being villa biggest rivals maybe

 

[El Turi]

McLeish quit by email apparently.

Regarding his departure from B'ham.

I think the cause was an unsupportive Board and Pannu, a naff chief exec, letting it be known that Scott Dann and Roger Johnson were to be sold.
Despite PL parachute money.

I don't blame him, after the lack of respect by the B'ham Board.

 

[Durlston]

So Alex McLeish signs a three-year deal a few months ago, takes Birmingham down, the board stick with him to get the club back in the Premier League, he drops them an email to say he's resigned whilst on holiday and may take over at their bitterest rivals.

Has he been taking lessons from Martin Allen on how to act like a complete ****?

 

[Peever]

Relegated and now their manager has jumped ship! Happy Days!

 

[GT49er]

Surprised McLeish has gone - I thought he would have been the right man to give Birmingham a very good chance of bouncing back up again. Now he's gone...........is this yet another team we can reckon on finishing above next season?

Might happen to us one day, who knows?
