McLeish odds-on to be given boot by Villa

ALEX MCLEISH is odds-on to leave the Aston Villa hotseat before the start of nextseason after Tuesday’s 2-1 home defeat to Bolton left them further embroiled in the relegation scrap.

It’s just 2-5 with bet365 that the Scot is no longer in charge at
Villa Park at the start of the 2012-13 campaign.

With Wolves already down and Blackburn 1-6 to join them in the
Championship, Bolton have been eased for the drop as victory brought them to within a point of Wigan and QPR in the safety zone with a game in hand.

Villa, meanwhile,are three points off the relegation places and their final three matches are away to West Brom, at home to Tottenham and then away to Norwich on the final day. They are 6-1 to go down.
