Can i just say, we're doing the same thing as did to tim sherwood, so unless there's a great manager out there looking for work, what do we do, go foreign again or put steve round in charge, i'm just saying be careful what you wish for, unless we want history repeating itself again?



02 oct 2016 00:20:44
it can't get any worse he can't win games we are going down! don't talk rubbish.



02 Oct 2016 09:50:44
"We are going down" - people should not allow themselves to come on here after a bad game if it makes them sound like a 7 year old melodramatic little girl, it's embarrassing.



02 Oct 2016 10:39:04
We're going down you say and i'm talking rubbish?

i would say the only thing missing here is those behind the scenes letting rdm down. he's the manager so yes, i can see your point. so what to do, sack him and bring in who? not big sam, he's facing a ban.

Pearson?, i can the headline now in the bluenose mail, 'pearson beat up by upper holte end ticket holder', police looking for a man who uses the handle "flackie" online, seen being driven away by his comrade in arms, "mendax"!

no no, the simple solution is keep rdm and bring in warnock as a consultant or whatever job title he likes. rdm learns the dark arts, warnock grabs some sheckles for his farm in cornwall and we scoot up the table.

As easy as 'Stupefy Mobilicorpus', everyones a winner!



02 Oct 2016 11:14:40
Blimey Flackie, we sound like Bonnie and Clyde!



02 Oct 2016 15:30:59
Who is who?



02 Oct 2016 22:01:02
Haha just read this! Quality!



01 Oct 2016 21:25:56
So with RDM's exit looking inevitable, who does everyone want to take charge? Big Sam looks like too much of a gamble as he could be banned and the only other manager out there isn't Steve Bruce who would be my choice. I'd never heard of Dean Smith before he was linked with the job, so he'd be a big step in the wrong direction.



01 Oct 2016 23:35:13
Give Ryan giggs a chance, won't know how good he could be until he has a chance.



02 Oct 2016 09:53:38
Xia isn't foolish enough to give someone a job who has no relative experience in it or evidence to support that they could do the job, so in other words Giggs will never happen. I'd try an get rowett, all the experience needed, does well with a rubbish team, the noses love him and I'm bored of them having a laugh at us every weekend.



02 Oct 2016 15:54:12
Errm, so use Aston Villa as a test piece to see how good or bad Ryan Highs might be as a manager?
Yeah, great idea.



{Ed025's Note - i agree mendax, why would you want that excuse for a man to lead you?..

02 Oct 2016 17:48:53
I wouldn't ED (I mean Giggs of course)
On top of the fact that he has no pedigree as a manager, his talking about the Swansea job while Guidolin is still in place shows a distinct lack of class.



{Ed025's Note - i agree mendax mate..

01 Oct 2016 21:19:51
RDM has to go. Anyone's thoughts on Ryan Giggs as a replacement.



01 Oct 2016 22:16:10
Hahaha.



01 Oct 2016 20:17:42
Maybe we should try changing the canteen lady gods knows we have gone trough enough managers,
Rdm looks lost and clueless (pitty)
I want o neill back we played good football under him yeah maybe he isiant everybodys cup of tea bit he gets the best out of average players just look at what he is doing with the irish team
I don't rate Bruce at all he has been jumping around clubs to much for 1 reason or another
Big Sam won't work either it just wouldn't make sense we spent to much on stickers to only play 1 up front
Maybe sherwood back seems to know how to get players on his side but not great with his tactics
This is where we are as a club if rdm goes the squad might not suit new manager as hard as it would be to get in a new gaffer this will make it that bit harder it's still 3 months before next window opens and would a new gaffer come in now I don't think so, maybe around December
Id love to see rdm clarke and Co showing a bit of interest on line
We are at a cross roads now
Put up with rdm until December pick up the odd pint and be cut adrift from play offs
Get in man in now let him figger out squad before next window results might not change
Or wait and see when this curse of a run will end
Taughts please.



01 Oct 2016 19:56:40
So every post in here seems to agree, RDM will most probably be sacked in the week. Him and Clark sounded like a good match but it's difficult to defend RDM anymore unfortunately shame we have to sack another manager but he hasn't found his best 11 and with one of the best squads (not team, squad) in the league you have to be able to get results and turn them into a team, and after 10+ games he hasnt. I guess Clark will take over but that doesn't fill me with optimism as he's there now and we haven't found form. So who do we want in charge? We need someone whose going to tackle the squad head on, motivate them, have a clear plan each game and a style of play and install some organisation to the play/ defence. A name doesn't spring to mind, who do we reckon?



02 Oct 2016 00:23:06
Neil warnock.



01 Oct 2016 19:29:59
Interesting quote from rdm in his post match briefing when he says " they'll be up there at the end of the season" that tells me he knows his time is up. Sacked by Wednesday.



01 Oct 2016 18:25:34
It's really interesting, all the fuss about " banter" from the die hard optimists last week and how the so called negative brigade were castigsted. We were actually realists and those who wanted banter have joined us tonite making the same comments as we made previously
RDM out of ideas out of here or division 1 will be our destiny.



01 Oct 2016 18:56:02
The fuss about banter last week, was not about last week, but about the last 24 months.

However, it pains me to say, but the time is up rdm.



01 Oct 2016 19:48:32
Bet you was praying on us not to get a result today so you could tweet about people not being negative last week, sorry for not being resigned to the fact we're going to be in league 1 next season like you mate but whether we're in champions league or conference or playing over the park I'll still support them, still be optimistic and not try and drag them down.



01 Oct 2016 20:31:22
Chris it's not dragging down, we all want the best, however unless we get the message out there that we won't or can't accept the abject failure nothing will change. Get behind and be positive is commendable and if we hadn't been subject to five years of abject failure culminating in us being relegation candidates. DR Tony will have got the message. Let's regroup and move forward. Please don't suggest any of us are happy though.



01 Oct 2016 20:35:38
What was your previous username on this "hopeful"?



01 Oct 2016 17:55:43
Sorry guys it's time to really question our managers ability to manage!
We are seriously close to div 1 rather than the prem and someone has to carry the can.
In the past we have hammered the manager incumbent but pussy footing around DiM is proving futile.
PL at least had an excuse but this guy has none.
Time is running out.
Our patience has run out.
Come on Dr Tony get us a winner.



01 Oct 2016 17:15:32
A serious question has to be asked here, how can a team that possesses three of the divisions best strikers struggle to score as much as we do.
The answer is obvious to most if not all Villa fans, our midfield is shocking, we have no bite, no direction and no creativity.
How come managers like RDM are paid huge wages and can`t see the wood for the trees, all of us Villa fans can see it, good grief it`s been bloody obvious for years.
We need a stronger character in charge, so for that reason He has to go, out of depth, players in wrong positions, and void of ideas.



01 Oct 2016 16:54:26
Ed, any reason why my post not showing?



{Ed001's Note - whoever dealt with it put it on the others page.}

01 Oct 2016 17:03:55
Lol oh! Never mind!



{Ed007's Note - You lot wanted all the moaning posts put on there! (facepalm) You can't win with some people ;-(

01 Oct 2016 17:12:18
Ha ha ha I walked into that one! ;)



{Ed007's Note - :=D

01 Oct 2016 15:56:35
Simply lost for words.



01 Oct 2016 15:51:19
if he does not turn this around RDM has surely had his last chance,

im not one for rush sackings up he just seems to be completely out of his depth here,



01 Oct 2016 15:46:11
Can we sack RDM at half time, total rubbish 14 shots to 2 and 2-0 down after 38 minutes, manager has no idea.

I really think if we keep RDM we will be relegated again.



01 Oct 2016 15:45:10
Time for RDM to go. Absolutely shocking. We won't go up and we're an embarrassment. Our back four and goalkeeping options are beyond poor.



01 Oct 2016 15:54:11
Did RDM say they would finish top 6 in the week, surely he meant bottom 6.



01 Oct 2016 14:36:23
I don't believe that team he has put out today, Westwood and jedinak your having a laugh, westwood is so negative and jedinak is slower than a cart horse . the only thing I can say is RDM you will not be available for work Monday . Goodbye and good riddance .



01 Oct 2016 15:00:36
I have to say the team choice again leaves a lot to be desired.
We will see later, but for me RDM is showing his limited ability in management.
You have to go and get three points be it home or away, not hope they just come your way, dear me.



01 Oct 2016 16:04:29
I was alarmed when I heard he was playing Westwood ahead of Tshibola
Difficult to defend the guy if we lose, as looks likely, this one.



01 Oct 2016 20:37:51
RDM has relied on chequebook football expecting that paying big fees guarantees success. Wrong! You need to have a plan to fit these players into a team. We do not have a team. He has assembled a group of expensive individuals with no plan or tactic. In some cases we've paid 2 to 3 times what these players are worth.



01 Oct 2016 10:16:20
Squad for today? Our only win this season came with gustede ayew McCormack up top, but that was before kodja came. thought getting all our best players into one squad whilst still having enough in the midfield not to get overrun! For me I'd go for McCormack kodja
Grealish Tshibola Jedinak ayew
Amavi Chester elphic bacuna
Steer

Not benching Gollini for anything other than if a player played poorly anywhere else on the pitch this many times he'd have been benched so although I like the boy we need to remind him of the competition for places.
Kodja and McCormack seem to have a decent understanding from what we've seen of them (vs Forrest) .
Elphic and Jedinak have had a few shakey performances so need a good display and even though grealish has two goals and an assist (not sure about the assist) we need somert from him today, needs to be getting shots in like he gets the balloons in on a Saturday night🙈.



01 Oct 2016 13:57:25
Bacuna suspended Chris.
