HanoiVillan Posted September 28, 2016 Share Posted September 28, 2016 He's been 'anonymously' reported in several papers to have given RDM two matches to get a win, one of which was last night, so I don't expect a sacking until after the Preston game. If we don't win that, I will reluctantly back the owner's choice as well. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Where is the next Gregory or Little? Mellberg, Laursen and Petrov are the only past leaders of the club knocking around the management scene. No chance Tony risks that. Gary Neville anyone?

A world famous former player and ex-Valencia manager will turn his head before anyone of the Villa old boys you mentioned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roadoftrinity Posted September 28, 2016 Share Posted September 28, 2016 If you wanted a famous ex player then he'd go for Ryan Giggs surely? However if he doesn't get the England job it would have to be Bruce for me, need a safe pair of hands to try and get us up. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Posted September 28, 2016 Share Posted September 28, 2016 Hope he is true to his word. I'm thinking of that tweet about making the same mistake 2 3 or 4 times. What about 8 9 or 10 times? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hippo Posted September 28, 2016 Share Posted September 28, 2016 Defining moment for XIA - does he be a tiny bit ruthless and Axe RDM in the next few days - a bring in either Bruce or Big Sam - Or does repeat the Lerner mistakes and dither - and ending up sacking RDM - at a time when the decent candidates have gone.

Rodders Posted September 28, 2016 Share Posted September 28, 2016 the pickings of candidates are slim, the timing isn't a huge issue although you can see him waiting until after the Preston game as that provides an obvious opportunity to make changes.

Rodders Posted September 28, 2016 Share Posted September 28, 2016 Bruce isn't a stand out candidate for me, he's maybe mildly preferable to somewhere else. We'll have to go for a left field candidate. Also, to be honest, between now and Preston is only 3 days, if SB felt there was a chance that RDM would go then, he'd wait around a couple of days to give himself options. In this particular scenario at least. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

First of all, Preston is only three days away, I don't think Bruce is going to be in such a desperate hurry that he'll be installed in 72 hours. Secondly I don't think he's so amazing as a candidate that we have to change plans to accommodate him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
