Dr T has pulled the trigger

[adrenachrome]

He'd not just spent an absolute fortune.

Nor had he replaced the entire team, apart from Westwood, who presumably he thinks is great shakes.

Let's be honest, the signs are far from auspicious.

I think Tony will pot him in the week. Good riddance.

Give Steve Round a job to find his replacement.

It's all relative.  I would say the mess RDM has had to clear up is far, far worse and more ingrained than that which SGT had to deal with.

7 games in and time to look at the table...

17th in the fucking 2nd Division.  1 win, 2 points above relegation, 5 from the play offs.

How can anybody defend the manager? Appalling.

They both took over the worse Villa side in history and Taylor was not a clueless buffoon, which helped.

I said in the summer he was shit and was told I was wrong. He's useless is RDM, get Bruce in right now

You also said we should appoint Pearson, so I'll take your opinion with a pinch of salt.

It's the middle of September.

You could be right Ads, but I I am mindful of an interview with RDM early on in his tenure when he said it would take two years to get us back up.

I do not have a problem with that unless it it results with performances like tonight's.

And?

We've played 8 games, been humped twice, against a 4th division side, lost late goals on 4 occasions, average a point a game and have played nobody of any quality yet. Our one win came against the league whipping boys. Our failures are repeated, aided and abetted by a manager who is so tactically naive he makes Sherwood look a genius.

So what's September got to do with it?

I have a massive problem with spending 46 games in the league never mind two years of this shite. The money spent suggests he's had this season, although he's clearly blown it.

Sweet Jesus.!

September is ineffably ghastly.

I am beginning to think that RDM is your man if the basics are in place and a little tinkering is required. Unfortunately, we lack the basics.

Clough or Rowett.On tonights evidence,Dean Smith might be worth a shot.

[ROBBO]

My problem with him is he appears tactically useless. Most times I can only follow the game on here by what posters are saying. the game before we went 2-1 in front and everyone on here was saying get another midfielder on, he didn't we drew, same again we were one nil up and defending as though we were playing Arsenal, this is the Championship we should not be struggling against these clubs with the money that's been spent.

who would have thought it? A champion's league winner being out thought by manager's most of us had never heard of a few weeks ago ! A total charlatan of Lambertesque proportions. We have a few talented players but not a competitive team. Time for someone with real experience of out foxing teams in this league. Send for Bruce!
