Aston Villa tap up Alex Mcleish as new coach
Let me come right out and say I hate this move….I hate it….I hate it….I hate it. It also has little do with Alex McLeish going from rivals Birmingham to Aston Villa. Making that move only proves what kind of man Alex McLeish is. I’d love to see the hypocrisie if Alex McLeish tries to convince the likes of Ashley Young to stay at the club when he himself left Birminham a club he took down not once but down in a cloud of dust.
Aston Villa fans still suffering from Martin O’Neill leaving deserved better than to hire a run of the mill manager who plays boring football who was also the coach of their local rivals. Do you really think top players are going to trip over themselves to play for Alex McLeish? Do you really think the likes of Stewart Downing are going to committ to Aston Villa with Alex McLeish? Aston Villa needed to make an impact when choosing their next coach, sadly they have done so for all the wrong reasons by tapping up Alex Mcleish from Birmingham.
