    Pass me by, but it seems Alex McLeish could soon be out of a job. Looking at this football betting article it seems he's made a right balls of it down in Birmingham. Some truly dreadful signings. Needs to take them to Wembley if he's to hang on, it seems... Fair few West Ham fans north of the border this week, I expect.

    Took them straight back into the Premiership and looked a really solid side last year.

    Was always going to be difficult this time round but he is one step away from a cup final and has assembled a decent group of players.

    Would be a terrible decision to sack him.

    They have one foot in a cup final. Strange decision if true

    Be really surprised if he gets the boot. Got them promoted, had a brilliant season last season, not so good this year but still a chance to reach the carling cup final...

    He's done well wheeling & dealing in the British market but every big/foreign signing he makes is a turkey, maybe the boss is ambitious and wants someone who can get some proper big-name players in

    Not been the best season for them so far but still very harsh if he was to get the bump. He's got them back in the big time.

    would be harsh to sack him especially if he can keep them up
