Blame Eck..not the board

I partly blame Eck for relegation.. but to be fair to him we had a lot of injuries which can't have helped.

McLeish constantly tried the 4-5-1 formation with Jerome chasing shadows which was just plain stupid, he should have realised from the start that our best formation is 4-4-2, hence why we did so well last season with Chucho. He should also have played the players the board did so well to secure... if he had played Hleb,Bentley,Beausejour in their natural positions we would have scored more goals, which would have meant more points, which would have meant safety.

Now I see him as a traitor, sends us down twice and when the going is tough he does a runner, I always stuck up for him as did many fans but now I really hope to see him at Villa so they can have a taste at his boring,negative tactics.

Rant over

Irrespective of how the board may have been AM should have let know what the scoop was before hand.
He held on for his deal last year so got what he wanted when it was all said and done.
I can only imagine the loaners and players bought were his decision last season too, so he cannot level any blame elsewhere.
As for the new guys, he has left them in the lurch as much as the fans.
It will take a lot for AM to win over whoever his next team's fans are, especially if they're villa, they're a strange breed...
