Birmingham City manager Alex McLeish linked with Aston Villa: what the fans say
6:31AM BST 14 Jun 2011[LNB]Comments[LNB] DANIEL IVORYBLUES FANZINE EDITOR"I liked McLeish and I didn't want him to get canned at the end of the season. Part of me thinks it will taint the memory of his taking Blues to Carling Cup success if he joins Villa. [LNB]"I am not the kind of person to call anyone names, but you only have to look at the message boards to see pictures of McLeish already in Judas shirts. [LNB]"I cannot honestly believe that the Villa board would be serious about taking him. So many Villa fans I know are apoplectic at the idea. There's talk of burning shirts. He will have no honeymoon period."[LNB]DAVE WOODHALLVILLA FANZINE EDITOR"It is pointless saying that supporters will just accept McLeish because they won't. One of the problems Houllier had was being the former manager of Liverpool. This would be the biggest gamble ever from Randy Lerner. [LNB]"Quite rightly, he has an enormous stock of goodwill, credit in the bank, call it what you like, but he would be gambling all of it on this. It would be a very brave appointment. And his style of football is another problem. [LNB]"Regardless of where he has come from, I don't think his record is such that Villa should be interested in appointing him."[LNB].at15t_email {display:none !important;}ul li.email span.at300bs {display:none !important;} X
