The phrase 'hiding to nothing' springs to mind. A nonsensical appointment following hot on the heels of the Houllier folly. Not just taking a manager from the neighbours but one who had just masterminded a relegation and who played the most dour, utterly non Villa football, imaginable. That it didn't end well is no surprise. That the signings - far better than in recent and subsequent seasons - suffered such misfortune during the campaign just made matters worse. But McLeish couldn't be blamed for taking his big opportunity, he and Villla just should have known better.

Alex McLeish | 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 | 2011-2012

Manager #26 for Aston Villa, Alex McLeish. Villa had failed to prepare for the tempestuous nature and selfish denouement of Martin O’Neill only to then appoint the woefully unfit for purpose Gérard Houllier as first team manager for him to fail to either start or end the season in place. As Villa’s squad shrank and regressed so did the logic in the boardroom and a freshly relegated manager and purveyor of some of the most negative football the top flight of the English game had ever seen was appointed to a post he had no CV to deserve.

That the appointment of Alex McLeish also included a move from neighbours Birmingham City and required significant compensation payments simply compounded the embarrassment.

That said, McLeish was not a selfish, self centred man like Martin O’Neill, and was not a disrespectful and destructive influence like Gérard Houllier. McLeish was however hopelessly ill-suited to managing Villa and so it proved over one of the most torturous seasons Villa had seen to date.

Villa had considered the deeply flawed Roberto Martinez and Mark Hughes, both of whom would have been barely welcomed given their track records, as well as allegedly coming close to the managerial pariah that was the laughing stock of Steve McLaren. Yet amongst those less than inspiring candidates was also Frank Rijkaard, yet Villa pulled for McLeish, not the first, and certainly not the last of crazy appointments by Villa but certainly the one with the most inevitable conclusion.

Then owner Randy Lerner, whose understanding of football had always been tenuous, decreed from New York that McLeish was his chosen man and to this day the reasoning remains unclear however his instructions to his Villa deputy Faulkner was to get McLeish’s signature whatever the cost.

As Faulkner himself recalled “Ultimately it wasn’t a year to look back on fondly.”

The thing is though, McLeish had more dignity and commitment in his little toe than did his three predecessors O’Leary, O’Neill and Houllier combined.

McLeish also made some intelligent signings and with more luck the likes of Robbie Keane, Charles N’Zogbia, Jermaine Jenas would have been long term contributors to Villa’s success as proved his signings of Alan Hutton and to a lesser extent Shay Given, both of whose Villa careers were disrupted and in Given’s case ended by McLeish’s successor.

The whole campaign was however overshadowed by the news that Villa captain Stiliyan Petrov had been diagnosed with leukaemia and a club and fan base which had begun to fracture, combined to pray for Stan. McLeish of course throughout was dignity personified and although performances on the pitch were inevitably dour, as was his being relieved of his duties at the season end, Alex McLeish does not deserve to be spoken in the same breath of disdain as either his predecessor or successor.

On This Day

Of all the results Villa wouldn't have wanted under Alex McLeish as a cynical fan base looked on was a nil-nil draw at a team Villa should be easily beating.
Already the pressure on the new boss after just 90 minutes rises to rarely seen levels.
Alex McLeish makes his Premier League bow as Villa boss and records a score that appears to solidify negative expectation and reputation as a dull goalless draw is the order of the day.
Shay Given makes his Villa debut aged 35 after joining from Manchester City for a fee of £3,380,000 in July to become the 836th player to play for Villa in first team League or Cup football.
Charles N'Zogbia makes his Villa debut aged 25 after joining from Wigan Athletic for a fee of £9,720,000 in July to become the 837th player to play for Villa in first team League or Cup football.
James Collins makes his 75th appearance in a Villa shirt (70 Starts) to make it W30 D26 L19, 5 Goals and 12 Bookings so far in his Villa career.

On This Day

Alex McLeish confounds the doubters in his first home game in charge as his side scores three and wins to leave them with two unbeaten games at the start of the Premier League campaign.
Alex McLeish records his first Premier League win as Villa boss at the second attempt.
Darren Bent scores his 10th goal in a Villa shirt on his 17th appearance to make it W8 D5 L4, 10 Goals and 2 Assists so far in his Villa career.
Right back Luke Young plays his final game for Villa aged 32 after asking to leave the club for personal reasons. Young moved to Queens Park Rangers for £1,010,000 shortly after.

Stiliyan Petrov contributes his 10th assist on his 80th win in a Villa shirt on his 191st appearance (179 Starts) to make it W80 D60 L51, 8 Goals, 10 Assists and 34 Bookings so far in his Villa career.

Match Timeline

On This Day

A second string Villa side toils to an uninspired victory at home to League Two Hereford in the second round of the League Cup as Alex McLeish already faces loud demands to up the attacking tempo of his teams.
Eric Lichaj scores his first goal in a Villa shirt on his 9th appearance (7 Starts) to make it W5 D2 L2, 1 Goal and 2 Bookings so far in his Villa career.
Andreas Weimann makes his first appearance for a year due to injury to make it 3 substitute appearances, W2 D1 L0 and 1 Booking so far in his Villa career.
Chris Herd makes his first appearance for five months and first under Alex McLeish to make it 8 appearances in a Villa shirt (3 Starts), W3 D1 L4 so far in his Villa career.
Midfielder Jean Makoun plays first game in 4 months and first under Alex McLeish in what is his 8th and final appearance for Villa aged 28 before moving on to Stade Rennais for a fee of £2,700,000 in July 2013. Former manager Gérard Houllier had brought Makoun to the club just 7 months before his final game spending £5,580,000 on the player who frankly looked completely out of his depth in English football regardless of the standard of opposition, and whose sole contribution was the regularity with which he accumulated cards. Makoun would leave with a record of W3 D3 L2, 3 Bookings and 1 Red Card.
Right back Habib Bèye, makes his first appearance in 13 months, his first under Alex McLeish and his final in a Villa shirt. Bèye, who was an eyebrow raising signing under Martin O'Neill had looked well below the necessary standard before being placed on Gérard Houllier's infamous 'bomb squad' of first team players not to be considered for duty during 2010-11. Bèye, 34, was released by Villa before subsequently joining Doncaster Rovers with whom he had spent a loan spell. Bèye had been bought by Martin O’Neill for £2,610,000 in 2009. Bèye left with a record of W8 D3 L7, 1 Assist, 3 Bookings and 1 Red Card across his 3 seasons with the club and, despite having spent previous seasons in English football with Newcastle, never looked of sufficient standard to play in the top flight.
Marc Albrighton contributes his 15th goal involvement in a Villa shirt on his 26th start (44 Appearances) to make it W17 D11 L16, 6 Goals, 9 Assists, 4 Bookings and 1 Red Card so far in his Villa career.
Stephen Ireland makes his 15th appearance in a Villa shirt (10 Starts) and first under Alex McLeish having failed in his loan spell at Newcastle (where he was shipped just 6 months after his regretted arrival at the club) and even against League Two Hereford contributed precisely nothing, just as he had done throughout his 12 months with Villa. Ireland's record stands at W3 D4 L8, 0 Goals, 0 Assists and 1 Booking so far in his Villa career.

Villa suffer a second goalless draw in three Premier League games under Alex McLeish and although it extends Villa's unbeaten run to four in all competitions under the new manager few are in the mood to celebrate a solid, if underwhelming, start to the season.

On This Day

Villa draw for the seventh time under Alex McLeish to leave them with three wins in thirteen Premier League games but another disappointing result is overshadowed by the tragic passing of Gary Speed and his close connection with man of the match Shay Given.
James Collins collects his 15th booking in a Villa shirt on his 87th appearance (82 Starts) to make it W33 D32 L22, 5 Goals and 15 Bookings so far in his Villa career.
Richard Dunne collects his 15th booking in a Villa shirt on his 94th appearance to make it W35 D34 L25, 4 Goals, 1 Assist and 15 Bookings so far in his Villa career.
Meanwhile, off the pitch Barry Bannan is banned from driving for 18 months but avoids a custodial sentence for a drunken crash on the M1 as further signs of a lack of professionalism has infected the club from top to bottom.

Match Timeline

On This Day

Villa lose for the fourth time in seven games under Alex McLeish to make it just three wins in fourteen Premier League games but Villa remain ninth in the table six points clear of the drop zone as the safety net of seven draws keeps them afloat.
Jermaine Jenas makes his final appearance for Villa aged 28 having appeared just 3 times, 2 as a substitute, in his time with Villa to leave with a record of W1 D1 L1, 0 Goals and 0 Assists.
Brad Guzan makes his second league appearance in a Villa shirt on his 23rd appearance overall (21 Starts) after coming on as a 38' substitute for the injured Shay Given. Guzan's only previous League appearance had come 15 appearances earlier in March 2009 as a substitute following the dismissal of Brad Friedel. Unlike that appearance however, Guzan would not concede a goal and in so doing would add to his clean sheet tally to make it W12 D3 L8, 26 Goals Conceded, 7 Clean Sheets and 2 Bookings so far in his Villa career.
Shay Given concedes his 20th goal in a Villa shirt before leaving the field with injury on 38' on his 15th appearance to make it W3 D7 L5, 20 Goals Conceded, 4 Clean Sheets and 1 Booking so far in his Villa career.
Meanwhile Charles N'Zogbia misses the game as he is suspended and find for a breach of club discipline.

On This Day

Villa deliver a stunning performance and result to end a difficult 2011 with Alex McLeish's fifth win in nineteen games as hopes grow for a more positive 2012.
Alex McLeish, having taken Villa into the top 10, had clearly brought progress to the club yet was a figure of far greater ire than even Houllier had been, despite the latter having Villa in 15th place at the same stage the previous season. His football wasn’t likely to win plaudits but objectively Villa, however distasteful for a lot of the support, were in a better place twelve months on. The question now was whether a foundation was there for a top ten finish and more football.
Villa have 5 Wins, 8 Draws and 6 Defeats under Alex McLeish with 19 games played to sit 9th in the table.
12 months previously Gérard Houllier had sat 15th and had tumbled to 18th by the first weekend of January.
Darren Bent scores his 15th goal in a Villa shirt on his 31st appearance (30 Starts) to make it W13 D10 L8, 15 Goals and 2 Assists so far in his Villa career.
Carlos Cuéllar makes his 100th start in a Villa shirt (107 Appearances) to make it W52 D27 L28, 3 Goals, 4 Assists, 15 Bookings and 1 Red Card so far in his Villa career. Cuéllar had made his 100th appearance back in February 2011.
Richard Dunne makes his 100th appearance in a Villa shirt to make it W37 D35 L28, 4 Goals, 1 Assist and 15 Bookings so far in his Villa career.
After 16 months on Villa's books, a loan away and several periods in ostracism from first team selection, Stephen Ireland finally puts in a performance and helps Alex McLeish's Villa to their best win of the season on the final day of 2011. Stephen Ireland makes his 16th start in a Villa shirt (24 Appearances) and finally contributes something to make it W6 D7 L11, 1 Goal, 1 Assist and 1 Booking so far in his Villa career.
Gary Gardner makes his Villa debut as a substitute to become the 840th player to play for Villa in first team League or Cup football.
Off the pitch Stephen Ireland is sanctioned for an online image apparently showing him smoking from a hookah pipe - the latest player indiscretion of plenty this season.
Less than 12 months after facing their first ever £200m opposition (Chelsea - £200.39m), the Blues line up at Stamford Bridge having taken spending to yet new heights and field a side that had cost an astonishing £244.76m. Over a 20% increase in spending in just a year as the influx of new money continued to distort the League.

On This Day

Alex McLeish's Villa record their ninth draw of the season to remain 13th in the table.
Robbie Keane, 31, makes his Villa debut 13 years after he should have done. Keane joined on a 3 month loan from LA Galaxy to become the 841st player to play for Villa in first team League or Cup football. In 1999 hesitation lost Villa bound Keane to Coventry City and a genuine talent was lost to Villa Park until a short cameo in his twilight years.
Stephen Ireland contributes his 2nd assist in 4 games having failed to contribute anything in his first 23 appearances in a Villa shirt to make it 27 Appearances, 19 Starts, W7 D8 L12, 1 Goal, 2 Assists and 1 Booking so far in his Villa career.

Match Timeline

On This Day

Villa lose a two goal lead as they are defeated in the fourth round of the FA Cup.
In total contrast to the disrespect that Gérard Houllier had showed Villa and the FA Cup in 2010-11 and which had caused such a furore, Alex McLeish named his strongest possible line up for the tie at Arsenal. And yet Alex McLeish was not rewarded by fortune on the pitch or favour from the stands as a two goal lead was overturned and short memories of 2011 were in full effect.
McLeish was everything Houllier wasn’t, but he also wasn’t the manager Villa craved, even 11th place and a right good old go in the FA Cup couldn’t or more accurately wouldn’t win over the legion of doubters.
Stiliyan Petrov makes his 200th start in a Villa shirt (213 Appearances) to make it W86 D67 L60, 12 Goals, 12 Assists and 36 Bookings so far in his Villa career.
Robbie Keane contributes his first assist in a Villa shirt on his third appearance (2 Starts) to make it W1 D1 L1, 2 Goals and 2 Assists so far in his Villa career.
Darren Bent contributes his 20th goal involvement in a Villa shirt on his 36th appearance (35 Starts) to make it W15 D11 L10, 18 Goals and 2 Assists so far in his Villa career.
Richard Dunne scores his 5th goal in a Villa shirt on his 105th appearance to make it W39 D36 L30, 5 Goals, 1 Assist and 17 Bookings so far in his Villa career.

On This Day

Villa lose for the first time in four to leave them with seven wins in twenty nine Premier League games under Alex McLeish but the result, the season and the struggles under the manager are rendered completely irrelevant with news that Villa's beloved captain Stiliyan Petrov is suffering from leukaemia.
By the time Villa lined up the following Saturday for their match vs. 5th placed Chelsea Petrov’s diagnosis had been confirmed. Saturday, 24 March 2012 however was the date that marked legendary Villa midfielder Petrov’ final appearance for Villa. Thankfully Petrov would ultimately recover from his illness but his football career was ended at the age of 32. Petrov had made 219 appearances (206 Starts) over his 6 seasons with Villa and beyond just his playing achievements represented everything good about football. Petrov left a record behind of W87 D69 L63, 12 Goals, 13 Assists and 39 Bookings.
Gabriel Agbonlahor suffers his 75th defeat in a Villa shirt on his 245th appearance (222 Starts) to make it W95 D75 L75, 62 Goals, 31 Assists and 25 Bookings so far in his Villa career.
Stephen Ireland makes his 25th start in a Villa shirt (35 Appearances) and has now gone 8 games without a goal involvement, and 31st in total to record W8 D11 L16, 1 Goal, 2 Assists and 2 Bookings so far in his Villa career.
Off the pitch Charles N'Zogbia and Alex McLeish kiss and make up after an unseemly and unecessary spat add further woe to Villa's season.

Match Timeline

On This Day

Villa suffer consecutive defeats to make it seven wins in thirty Premier League games under Alex McLeish but the out-pouring of love for Stiliyan Petrov eclipses any on pitch troubles.

On This Day

With relegation just a disappointing mathematical possibility the game before, Alex McLeish contrives to lose to Bolton at Villa Park to leave Villa just three points above the drop with three to play and in the worst form in the League - without a win in seven - and with only seven wins in thirty five this season.
Even under Houllier in 2010-11 Villa were 6 points clear with 35 games played and in 13th place with 41 points.
Charles N'Zogbia contributes his 5th goal involvement in a Villa shirt on his 30th appearance (23 Starts) to make it W7 D13 L10, 1 Goal, 4 Assists and 4 Bookings so far in his Villa career.

Match Timeline

On This Day

Villa record a seventh goalless game under Alex McLeish to make it seven wins in thirty six Premier League games.
Villa are now winless in the last 8 games under Alex McLeish.
Villa record their 16th draw in 36 matches under Alex McLeish.
Villa remain 15th, three points clear of the drop zone but with a vastly superior goal difference to the clubs around them. Relegation therefore looks unlikely but at least another point is needed to make certain.
Samir Carruthers makes his final appearance for Villa aged 19 before moving on to MK Dons in August 2014 for a fee of £225,000. Carruthers had made a total of 3 substitute appearances for Villa all of which came in March and April 2012 leaving with a record of W0 D2 L1 and 1 Booking so far in his Villa career.
Chris Herd makes his 25th appearance in a Villa shirt (20 Starts) to make it W6 D9 L10, 1 Goal, 2 Bookings and 1 Red Card so far in his Villa career.

Match Timeline

On This Day

Villa end a most difficult season with just seven wins in thirty eight Premier League games as Alex McLeish's tenure ends exactly as many predicted but no one wanted.
Villa end the campaign without a win in ten games under Alex McLeish.
Villa end the season on their lowest points tally since another unpopular Scot, Billy McNeill, took Villa down in 1986-87.
McLeish had masterminded 14 losses and 18 draws in a 38 game season.
The irony however was that up until April 2012 McLeish’s record was actually better than that of his predecessor however the last eight games of the campaign - having lost skipper Stiliyan Petrov - were simply torrid and a respectable 15th, in a more competitive League than 2010-11 and with the same points gained as under Gérard Houllier, became 16th, no win in eight and once again an escape from relegation on the penultimate game of the season.
Nobody would chose to be in a second successive relegation fight of course, however, from an objective point of view up until April the campaign had been an improvement. A manager who, in total contrast to his predecessor, wanted to be there - however much a huge swathe of fans understandably didn’t, oversaw a partial rebuild and galvanisation of a squad recovering from the destruction of the previous manager. That Villa had to deal with a huge injury list not only in numbers but also in influence and quality was just another reason to have cut some slack.
But equally the football was often poor and overtly negative even in the better days and the manager’s provenance was never forgiven. It was right to part ways of course but the season itself deserves an objective re-evaluation away from the knee-jerk reaction to an unpopular appointment.
The final eight games were inexcusably bad, and a season of standing still became a season of unwanted broken records of failure. However, taken as a whole, what had come immediately before and what would soon be upon Villa was immeasurably worse.
Off the field an increasing culture of disconnection grew between the leadership of the club and the fan base and had led to two successive appointments of the wrong managers, at the wrong time, for the wrong club. The Villa hierarchy then simply couldn’t get a third successive managerial appointment wrong and a significant chunk of Villa fans had already made clear their favoured candidate sat in the opposition dug-out.
Centre back Richard Dunne makes his final appearance for Villa aged 32 before moving on to Queens Park Rangers on a free transfer in July 2013. Dunne would miss the entire 2012-13 season through injury having made 111 appearances and leaving with a record of W39 D39 L33, 5 Goals, 1 Assist and 19 Bookings.
Centre back James Collins makes his final appearance for Villa aged 28 before returning to West Ham United for £2,880,000 in August 2012. Collins made 108 appearances (102 Starts) during his 3 seasons with Villa but would be sold by Paul Lambert on his arrival as Villa’s new boss despite a record of W38 D40 L30, 6 Goals and 18 Bookings and without a suitable replacement coming in.
Centre back Carlos Cuéllar makes his final appearance for Villa aged 30 before moving on to Sunderland on a free transfer in July 2012. Cuéllar made 121 appearances (114 Starts) during his 4 seasons with Villa but would be sold by Paul Lambert on his arrival as Villa’s new boss despite a record of W53 D33 L35, 3 Goals, 5 Assists, 16 Bookings and 1 Red Card and without a suitable replacement coming in.
Centre forward Emile Heskey makes his final appearance for Villa aged 34 before retiring from football. Heskey made 110 appearances but only 71 starts during his 4 seasons with Villa but would be sold by Paul Lambert on his arrival as Villa’s new boss. Heskey had contributed 19 goal involvements across his first 54 starts (83 Appearances) up to August 2011 but thereafter things dried up and Heskey was left without a goal in 27 games and without an assist in 47 to leave with a record of W37 D38 L35, 14 Goals, 5 Assists, 10 Bookings and 1 Red Card.
Right back Stephen Warnock makes 100th start and his 101st and final appearance for Villa aged 30 before moving on to Leeds United on a free transfer in January 2013. Warnock was a solid player who served Villa well over his 3 seasons and 101 appearances, however he was treated abominably by Gérard Houllier and later by Paul Lambert both of whom ostracised Warnock from first team consideration and considerably weakened the defensive options of the team. Warnock would depart with a record of W35 D33 L33, 3 Goals, 8 Assists and 17 Bookings.
Shay Given concedes his 50th goal in a Villa shirt on his 34th appearance at a rate of 1.41 League Goals per Game to make it W5 D16 L13, 50 Goals Conceded, 8 Clean Sheets and 1 Booking so far in his Villa career.
