Alex McLeish
Should have Alex McLeish been sacked as Aston Villa manager?
I think that many people were thinking that is was a bad move for McLeish, who left Birmingham to join the hot seat at fierce rivals Aston Villa on 17th June 2011. This caused spark and unrest between Villa supporters and I think they found it hard to warm to him. But it was not just this traitor like action that made Villa fans unhappy, it was that the team performances and results were simply not good enough for Aston Villa.
During McLeish's reign at the Birmingham based club, they were only able to grab 9 wins in 42 games, drawing 17 and losing 16. Villa finished 2 points above the relegation zone in 16th place, picking up only 4 wins and scoring 20 goals at home in the process.
Many people feel that Aston Villa treated Alex McLeish very harshly, and me included. He needed time with this team, what with bringing in younger players such as Barry Bannan and Nathan Delfouneso. Even Robbie Keane couldn't get them out of a mess, in his short spell at his former club.
A serious shape up needs to be taken underway and they need to bring in a few new strikers as Heskey has left , but Darren Bent could propose a bit of freshness after coming back from injury.
The most likely people believed to take the managerial role are:
Mick McCarthy, Chris Hughton, Steve Bruce, Gus Poyet or even Roberto Martinez if the rumours are not true that he is due to take over Kenny Dalglish at Liverpool
