Has either been taken out of context in this article, or he has genuine information - He says he's looking forward to working with McLeish.

I think Sky have just taken his answer and thought it was nailed on Mcleish was becoming our new manager.
Personally Hoons, I can't stand him as a manager. Living off his reputation with Rangers, such a negative manager, and I will certainly not be going down to watch them. I don't think he won the League Cup, just Arsenal lost it.
I remember the day Birmingham were relegated, they were away at Tottenham and I think needed to draw to stay up (Might have been a win). They were 2-1 down. He had one striker on the pitch till the last 5 minutes. Certainly not a manager to I'd like at the City Ground.
I have a couple of friends who are Villa fans, and they despise him as a manager.

Don't get me wrong i'd rather have SOD back than any name that's been mentioned ... I've just seen so many managers branded the wrong way ... just look at SOD, everyone said he tried to impress attractive passing football, but he himself came out and said that was boll0x (more or less), and that he never even does passing sessions in training. To come out and say a manager will play 'negative boring unattractive football' is rubbish ... I don't believe for a second that any half decent manager, for example, would tell a pacey exciting winger to drop deep and play more defensively .. it just doesn't happen !!

Easy to say I dislike him, but if he came in and got us promoted this season we would all be singing his praises.
Football is a fickle sport!

Owen Coyle looks favourite at the moment from what I'm hearing. Better than mcleish but it does seem odd to sack SoD to bring him in.

Coyle would be a good choice

Of the responses to the above Sky article 95.45% are unequivocally and unambiguously against The Big Eck being appointed - that's serious anti-matter...
