I'm seriously disapointed the way the season has gone but I blame the owners rather than rafa for our future being so dependant on CL football.

I'd get right behind him if he was appointed as our next boss Sheiky (i hope most would), even if i do think as of right now he would be a shite replacement.
Would you be happy with McLeish as our next manager?

I just wiki'd McLeish because I thought maybe I was being snobbish and unfair. Perhaps there was something in his record as manager that I was missing. But... I don't see it. He won the Scottish league twice in five seasons with Rangers (which effectively means he lost to Celtic 3-2), was relegated in his first seasons with Hibs and Birmingham, and got them back up straight away; he had a sort of near-glorious failure with the national side, and has now established Birmingham (for ONE season) as a decent midtable side. As far as I can see, he's never handled any star players, nor does he have any real experience in Europe. How does any of that make him better than, say, Curbishley or Allardyce or Redknapp or any other average British manager?

maybe we are after mcleish because he is used to working with no marks so will be ideally placed to handle a squad that has had to sell all the star players to feed the debt.

I'd support him. Would I be happy? I'd probably be indifferent rather than happy or sad. Who knows, he might turn out alright. Then again, he might turn out shit but then that's where we are now. Nothing ventured nothing gained, he who dares Rodney and all that.

If McLeish walked into town and picked 2 strikers and some attacking midfielders I would be more than happy with his appointment.

It's possible to feel disappointed whilst wishing the best to a new appointment and lending your support (I'd imagine that'd be my most likely scenario). It's likely most people would have some sort of opinion on appointing any new manager without being senseless.
