Donniewyer Posted October 2, 2016 Share Posted October 2, 2016 1 thing that stuck out for me about RDM, where were his connections in the game with regards to transfers? Rumour after rumour about Chelsea players coming in on loan but not a single 1. Now I know people will dismiss that but just think about it.....not a single player in on loan from any prem league club. A New owner, with money to burn and RDM couldn't attract a single up and coming player form Chelsea or any club? Why wouldn't they want to play with the great RDM in a team look Villa side with a reported chance to go up and really make a name for themselves? Problem we have if he does get sacked, who will want the job yet again? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly this. I hate the idea of moving a manager on so quickly (even one I didn't want from the start as I thought he was a bad fit) but if it's glaringly obvious he isn't up to scratch then I see no reason at all to keep him in the forlorn hope that he turns things around. RDM has indeed 'made it SO SOON' himself. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AntrimBlack Posted October 2, 2016 Share Posted October 2, 2016 I was lukewarm about RDM from the start, but happy to give him a chance. I will be happy to see him go, he is not up to the job, but I am also worried about who will be appointed in his place. Hopefully Xia will be getting sound advice from the right people.

Xela Posted October 2, 2016 Share Posted October 2, 2016 I was hoping it would work out but since the Forest game we have got worse. We look even more disjointed. The Brentford, Ipswich, Newcastle (aside from last 20 mins or so), Barnsley and Preston games are some of the worst performances we have dished up. Noting the calibre of the opposition I would have to say they are more spineless than anything Garde, Sherwood or even Lambert served up. Least then we were playing better teams. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dn1982 Posted October 2, 2016 Share Posted October 2, 2016 Tishbola is our best CM and he played about 90 min over 2 games so RDM drops him for the fresher legs of Westwood. Jedinak has played every minute and looked awful at. Times yet still gets picked? RDM is clueless get rid ASAP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RDM is clueless get rid ASAP In his defence, Tshibola had just returned from injury and so many games in such a short time may have been a bit too much, but you'd like to think he could have started and maybe played for 60 minutes at least.

DevonIsAPlaceOnEarth Posted October 2, 2016 Share Posted October 2, 2016 I'm glad to see the club have moved him on. I reserve no hatred or dislike for the man though. Seems a decent guy, who couldn't do the job. Probably the end of his management career - how many times has that proven to be true with our managers.

Michael118 Posted October 2, 2016 Share Posted October 2, 2016 (edited) I predicted after the Rotterham victory in the General Predictions thread he would be sacked "before the end of the season" and it looks like it's happening.

The Champions League win just suggested that he was capable of adapting to the highest level too. It's a mystery what's happened here, his selection yesterday and then the half time subs just screamed 'sack me'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Villarocker Posted October 2, 2016 Share Posted October 2, 2016 I'm not sure how I feel about him now. I kept saying we need to stick with him and have some continuity but after yesterday's performance I'm not so sure. Clearly, individual errors are costing us, especially yesterday against Preston but, who picked those players? He could have gotten rid of Westwood in the summer but kept him. He also bought Jedinak. He put that team out yesterday too. You can only defend so far and I am now not sure what the answer is. We certainly don't seem to be improving, which is a huge worry. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All the money we've spunked on attacking players and the top scorer in the Championship is a loanee from Chelsea.
