Genie Posted May 24, 2012 Share Posted May 24, 2012 Why is it that with randy picking our manager, I am relying on sheer luck for him to pick a good one? Not just you mate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fazilla Posted May 24, 2012 Share Posted May 24, 2012 RDM interested in job according to The Sun. I would be very disappointed if we appointed RDM. Yes he has done very well at Chelsea, but why do you think they do not want to keep him on or why did WBA sack him? I know a number of Albion season ticket holders who do not rate him.

irreverentad Posted May 24, 2012 Share Posted May 24, 2012 Ah the old classic, first in last out To his credit, he did somehow manage to smash Ulrikka So fair play But he wasn't the manager. How many people do you know put massive hours into their jobs and give away their wages to colleagues? Not something to mock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HolteEndRob Posted May 24, 2012 Share Posted May 24, 2012 Why is it that with randy picking our manager, I am relying on sheer luck for him to pick a good one? Maybe because his track record of good appointments at Villa currently stands at 0 out of 2 and we are worried that he's going for the hattrick!

Doesn't make sense does it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes he has done very well at Chelsea, but why do you think they do not want to keep him on or why did WBA sack him? I know a number of Albion season ticket holders who do not rate him. I also know quite a number of Baggies ST holders and they, to a man, were delighted to get rid of RDM - seen as a joke Manager and not just by the fans, the players didn't rate him either. RDM had success at Chelsea for who he wasn't, not for who he was. They hated AVB with a passion at Chelsea - that is evidenced by many of the comments made in subsequent interviews with players - where he is often referred to as "the other guy". Anybody who took that role on would have been more successful than AVB, especially someone who only a few years ago was playing with half the players and has such a history with the club. Cheslea rode their luck in both the Semi and the Final of the CL but, fair play to them, they won it. Now look at their league form........ But for a missed penalty they would not have even been playing CL football next season. RDM - not for me thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rodigan Posted May 24, 2012 Share Posted May 24, 2012 well, in his favour, RDM isn't Eck... that must be a bigger wave to ride, than not being AVB.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Willy_Evergo Posted May 24, 2012 Share Posted May 24, 2012 I can see RDM getting the job. When we are seen to be disappointed and as results inevitably go pearshaped the press will have another field day about fickle Villa fans. Imagine Villa fans complaining about having a Champions League winning manager. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jarpie Posted May 24, 2012 Share Posted May 24, 2012 I just want to get this over so we can all go back to complaining about how poor our manager is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JD Posted May 24, 2012 Share Posted May 24, 2012 I don't get why the club go silent leaving behind a shambles for us fans to be embarassed about in the media?! It looks amateur. Not keen on RDM, PL or RM would be ok. I say we might as well flip a coin on John Gregory and Paulo Di Canio, **** it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My fear is that RL and PF will be blinded by the success that RDM has had at Chelsea and not what he did at WBA. I have little faith in their ability to get the man we need after their last two appointments. RDM was just what Chelsea needed, but we need somebody to build the club up. Matinez, Lambert or Poyet would be able to do that much better tham RDM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Posted May 24, 2012 Share Posted May 24, 2012 My current top 3 are Lambert Adkins Martinez Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
b6bloke Posted May 24, 2012 Share Posted May 24, 2012 RDM can **** right off! Baggies mates have fingers crossed that's how good he is! He was caretaker of a team already built and used JM's park the bus tactics! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomzep Posted May 24, 2012 Share Posted May 24, 2012 I want a manager who has played the game been a success touched trophies Not some translator with a digital watch Mourinho, Wenger, Sven, AVB, Rafa and Sacchi all ruled out thenSven ha ha that's a joke yes The guy did ok at Lazio 10 years ago for sure But did you see how much money he spent to get that success Chequebook manager Im not saying I want Sven but putting setting the criteria of hiring someone who played at the highest level and won stuff rules out a lot of great candidates. I know my views arent the same as everyone on here, and id be happy enough with OGS, Lambert, Poyet Rodgers, etc but I think there are some other strong andidates out there I like Rangnick a lot and as Ive said in the past I would be interested to see how Platt would do.

Bane17 Posted May 24, 2012 Share Posted May 24, 2012 I DO NOT WANT ROBERTO DI MATTEO! Yes, he has achieved well at Chelsea but he inherited a very good squad. We don't have that here at Villa and we need someone who can come in and rebuild the team. he most definitely NOT the man. From what I hear, WBA fans and players did not like him and Chelsea players also weren't a fan of him but was an improvement on AVB who had the task of trying to get rid of the old guard. Now OGS has been ruled out I suppose I would settle for Lambert or Martinez. If we struggle to get those then Domingos Paciencia, AVB or Rafa Benitez (although I think he'd require a huge war chest!) So in order for me... * Lambert * Martinez * Domingos Paciencia * Rafa Benitez * Villa Boas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smetrov Posted May 24, 2012 Share Posted May 24, 2012 End this with what we should have done 2 years ago Alan Curbishley Proven ability to keep a team in the PL - on a shoestring. With Lerner and Paul F*ckally at the helm - can we hope for much better than that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mazrim Posted May 24, 2012 Share Posted May 24, 2012 AVB was taking a poisoned chalice with the Chelsea job. He tried to be what he was hired for: the boss, but there are too many egos in that dressing room that think they run the show and in fact, do. They made his job nigh on impossible. The notion anybody would have done better is bollocks. Now, with Villa he would have a blank canvas. He could build and direct the squad as he sees fit with 100% authority. Which I think is the type of job he is looking for. He may go to Liverpool (we might not be interested, who knows) but again, I don't think it's right for him at the moment. There would be instant pressure on to get into the top 4 which I dont think Liverpool will be capable of in the next year or two at least. So if he wants a big job in the PL where he can take his time and stamp his authority, we're ideal. Or, he'll get a decent job in Europe, but I reckon he will feel he has unfinished business in England. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
