A lot of criticism of RDM, but on paper he ticked all the boxes for what a new owner would want, can't really blame Xia for appointing him, I hadn't even considered him and was all for Pearson, but I warmed to the idea and was genuinely excited about the appointment of RDM in the end as I bought into it, as I'm sure xia did.
I was so ready for RDM to become a Villa managerial hero, gutting it didn't work out anywhere near that, now just hope the next guy is.... just hope it's not Bruce.
