Richard Posted September 17, 2016 Share Posted September 17, 2016 I'm perfectly willing to accept that as I didn't want him to begin with I'm looking for the first opportunity for that feeling to be justified and for me to say RDM out but the opportunity has presented itself very early especially considering the investment. It was never a guarantee that he would not do so well so early Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mjvilla Posted September 17, 2016 Share Posted September 17, 2016 The thing that strikes me the most is the lack of reaction to things. Look at Wolves, stuffed at home in the week... Win away the following weekend. Just one example... We draw, then draw, then draw. Suggests to me that the players aren't right behind what the manager is doing.

chrisvilla4 Posted September 17, 2016 Share Posted September 17, 2016 We should be careful of what we wish for as the Villa managers job could be seen as a poisoned chalice. Need to be more patient IMO. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cliffy Biro Posted September 17, 2016 Share Posted September 17, 2016 1 win in 8 is diabolical and i think if he doesnt get a few wins in the next 3-4 games hes gone but i dont think necessarily sacking him will suddenly change our fortunes. How many times do we have to change manager and players and have nothing change before we realise it isnt that simple? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Posted September 17, 2016 Share Posted September 17, 2016 I don't think we need to change players this time . I think any new manager would be pretty happy with the squad we have . 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Has any Villa manager had such a short honeymoon period before?! Has any Villa manager had such spending power before? Would United or City be settling for this in the PL? I don't ever recall us being significantly the highest spenders in our league before. We're normally praying the manager can make something of the mediocre players he has bought with our meager budget. RDM is different because he has been handed funds to destroy the opposition and he is below Burton Albion and not looking like he knows how to get above them. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Fun Factory Posted September 17, 2016 Share Posted September 17, 2016 (edited) I think some people are feeling a bit trigger happy on the grounds that we kept Lambert on for far too long with a majority of fans backing for the first 2 god awful seasons under him. However this is a different club and different era etc. I think RDM still needs some time and we just need to calm down a bit.

dn1982 Posted September 17, 2016 Share Posted September 17, 2016 Most fans quote the amount spent as a reason to get rid of RDM but surely isn't the fact we've not had a settled side because we've recruited loads part of the problem?? The team and players need time to settle. We've not had our 1st 11 out yet. I'm far from happy with our results to date but apart from 30 min at Bristol and 60 min against Brentford we've not been out played. Today was one of those dour games which if we'd have won the last 2 we'd write off. This league is mad. Anybody can beat anybody. Form means nothing. Which also means you need to get wins where you can. You have to attack all the time. My only reservation with RDM is that under pressure he reverts to a defensive manager. I can see him getting the sack in 5/6 games and is only having lost 2 games all because he won't go for it. Hopefully he doesn't as the first 5 games were very promising. We have a week now before a massive game. We have to win. Go for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm still behind Matteo and I don't think today was a bad result, but............ He's not really Villa, he's Chelsea, Birmingham .....bet his house is rented and his family live in London. There's no connection and no heart when it comes to us, were just a wage. He has no comprehension on what Villa means to the Midlands , love us or hate us. 2 wins in the next 3 games and all will be forgotten but for me its about building Villa from the roots, having us in their hearts means more than short term success. If the managers got no emotional attachment to us then why should the players have any? D Matteo shows no emotion at all, no passion nothing, hes like a robot. I bet Clark is doing most of the "football thinking" Dr get the feelers out and start looking at our options nice and early "Be prepared" UTV 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
