And there is more trouble brewing for the former Birmingham boss ... Aston Villa fans are being urged to attend a protest against McLeish before Sunday's game with Manchester City.
It takes a brave chairman to appoint the manager of your most hated rivals ... especially as he had just taken Brum down to the Championship.
It has to be the most bizarre appointment in recent history ... and the Villa fans are NOT happy!
As for N'Zogbia ... the lad has been trouble - with a capital "T" - wherever he has been.
At Newcastle, Scott Parker pinned him up against the dressing room wall because 'Charlie Boy' sat texting during a team meeting.
Alex McLeish: "I've said it before, that Twitter and the social networks is not a world familiar to me.
"Years ago, players would have hammered down the manager's door when they were frustrated rather than letting their feelings known on the internet.
"But it amounts to the same thing in that you just can't tell people you are frustrated, you have to do something about it by consistently playing well.
"If Charles is not enjoying his football, then he needs to do something about it on the pitch - and that applies to everyone and not just Charles N'Zogbia.
"It is not a coincidence the best moment Charles has had in a Villa shirt have come when he has been working hard - and that's when you get the best rewards in anything."
