Our Aston Villa blog 7500 to Holte has reacted to the news that newly departed and now former Birmingham City manager Alex McLeish might be the next manager at Villa Park. You'll be stunned to learn that they're not terribly happy about it. Citing McLeish's poor results and negative style, 7500 to Holte argues that he's nowhere near the right man for the job.
Alex McLeish Is An Undesirable Hire For Aston Villa - 7500 To Holte
There is nothing -- nothing -- about the freckled, pockmarked ginger that says he could be Villa’s man for the foreseeable future, someone to build a club around rather than simply take us into seventh place next season. I think it’s safe to say that most of us hated watching the Bluenoses this season, and not just because we’re Villans and that’s what we’re meant to do. They played dirty. They hacked. They were overly defensive.
Honestly, it’s tough to disagree. Birmingham City have been a negative team in their time in the Premier League and the majority of neutrals weren’t crushed to see them go down to the Championship. If Villa want to play an entertaining style of football and challenge for Europa League places, McLeish would be a curious hire.
