Dr T has pulled the trigger

[Damo70]

I think he deserves a bit more time. Having voted in the poll I seem to be somewhat in the minority to say the least. I feel like I have voted in a poll asking if I wanted Hitler and the Germans to win World War 2 and me being one of the few saying "Hey, you never know maybe we should have give him a chance to rule us for a while and see how it goes"!

[mr underhill]

seriously, why? There is not one scintilla of evidence to suggest he has any ability to select, motivate and lead a team of players who can win.

a bit more time?

fuck me next week at bh he will probably have them training with a rugby ball or playing rounders

The only evidence any one needs to justify sacking RDM is by looking at the table...11 games played, 10 pts, 1 win, 7 draws, 3 defeats makes for grim reading even if you are generous with the time required to gel players after spending £50-60m in the summer. If you want more justification then look at the starting lineups, formations, tactics and subs...RDM and the backroom staff are clearly fuckin useless.

Absolute sack of shit devoid of any ideas how to make these players he bought for tens of millions in to a team. We look a first division rabble. If he's still here in a week then we've wrote the season off and have another 35 games of him trying to guess where his arsehole is. Useless man.

I've been all for giving managers time in the past but this guy is an absolute chancer. Where is the philosophy? A system and a style of play? At least some signs that we've actually got a plan but no, he's offering absolutely nothing and we're getting worse. For someone who played central midfield you would think he might be able to sort that area out but the midfield we've got currently is nothing short of a disgrace. Get rid.

Clearly there was a reason why Schalke binned RDM after 7 months; followed by a year or so of him rattling around his gaff in Leamington. The man's a fecking chancer - and trust Villa to give him the managerial gig & a pot of cash to blow. Deary me.

It would be much easier if we just had a 'Like' button for posts like this.

Yes. Sorry Dr Xia you may be a Billionaire but you fucked up big time appointing this muppet as out Manager.

I have now joined the get rid brigade even though I thought before he should be given more time. Thing is, it seems a complete lottery-I no longer have any idea what makes a good manager.

Agree with this, but where the fuck is Steve Clarke in all of this? He has been totally anonymous: I thought we were getting a 2+2=5 deal with these guys.

Steve Clarke hasn't moved since he joined us, he looks like a guy Fawkes dummy we've made of him and plonked on the bench, a real air of couldntgiveafuckness from his direction.

See also Ray Wilkins. There is something inexplicably rotten at the Villa. It's like  people think they can come here and get away with doing jack shit. It's incredibly depressing and worrying and I just don't see how we are going to arrest this spiral of decline

[OzVilla]

Depends wat the Dr finds acceptable?

If its staying the division after a flirt with relegation then fine, he should just about manage that. If it's any prospect of squeaking into the play offs then now is the time for a change.

Bruce or Rowett.

Same shit different week. Just give the guy the bullet before we stare down the league 1 barrel
