Aston Villa have sacked manager Alex McLeish after 11 months in charge.

The 53-year-old former Scotland manager said his farewells to the club's staff on Monday morning.

Villa have endured a poor Premier League campaign, finishing just above the relegation zone after winning only four of 19 games at home.

Gary Neville appointed England coach for Euro 2012.

Quote:

Former Manchester United defender Gary Neville has joined Roy Hodgson's coaching staff as England finalise preparations for Euro 2012.

The 37-year-old has signed a four-year-contract with the Football Association and will begin work immediately.

"Roy asking me to be a part of his staff and to work with the national team is not only an honour but a very special moment for me," Neville said.

I don't know if anybody has seen the jimmycorkhill blog (Dean Sullivan from brookside) Open letter to Joey barton.

I won't post a link here as it contains very strong language, but I guess you'll find it somehow.

I agree he was a good player and I think has alot of experience behind him which will help the England squad.

On another note I am soo glad McLeish has gone for good and now we can concerate on getting a good manager and rebuilding the squad and become the best Midlands team again.

Mcleish was always on a sticky wicket...best for all that he left

well done to City overall they were the better side.

I know this is something we have profited from in the past but did anyone watch the City game and were there really 5 mins of extra time ? We got 3 against Sunderland and I didn't even think there was 3 mins there either.

Not sure why the FA \ UEFA \ FIFA feel the need to drag the game out by a few more minutes all the time

Yes mostly due to Barton

Erm because its in the laws of the game...

sherer · 14-05-2012, 20:17

there's never any consistency in it, it's as if now they have board they feel they have to use it all the time.

There were 4 substitutions in the second half at 30 seconds each that is 2 minutes time they should add on. There was one goal during normal time and according to the rules they have to add on one minute so we are already up to 3 minutes and it took about 2 mins and maybe longer to send Barton off. That means the ref is saying if there were no subs and no sending off etc the game would have ended at 90 mins

We all know we still would see the standard 3 mins they always put up.

A lot of the time when goals are scored during injury time they don't add on the extra one minute that is in the rules although this time I think they did.

gazzae · 14-05-2012, 20:29

Firstly they are Laws not rules

Secondly, there is no mention of how much time is required to be added on for subs.
Thirdly, Law 7 does not specifically say time should be added for goals.

Quote:

Allowance for time lost
Allowance is made in either period for all time lost through:
• substitutions
• assessment of injury to players
• removal of injured players from the fi eld of play for treatment
• wasting time
• any other cause
The allowance for time lost is at the discretion of the referee.
