Looking back to when Hodgson was appointed as our manager, I couldn't figure out whether the scariest thing would be that there'd be no money to spend, or that there was and Hodgson would be the man to spend it. Similar feelings to that Godcubed?
Haha. Something like that.
It's a big mystery, and a big big risk. Choosing McLeish is
the most controversial thing Lerner could've done. The fans are ******, PROPERLY ******, to the point of returning their season tickets and not buying shirts. Lerner's done amazing things for our club and only a fool would want him out, but there have already been whispers of that, stupidly.
McLeish has truly huge balls to take on this job (Huge, ginger balls). He knows he has to hit the ground running and AT LEAST equal 9th place, otherwise his Villa career will be over right away. He'll only be a couple of games away from the sack at all times one imagines.
Dunno how he'll set up, but after Houllier's pleasing aesthetics (disregarding the results, because thats what fans do) it'll seem like a step down. A big, big job for McLeish. I hope he does well, but I remain ambivalent for the time being. He's obviously a decent manager, and he knows how to organise a defence. Hopefully he adapts.
This is why I don't get McLeish signing. 'Fan power' urged Lerner to not meet McLaren, yet he goes for McLeish, manager of their biggest rivals..
Does not make sense.
Turned out to be a lie, Randy just didn't want McClaren after all that.
