Martin out?

    0.9%
  4. Stick with him, he'll turn it round

    The guy is deluded, just listened to his interview with Adam Blackmore, who in fairness actually pushed back this time, and RM didn’t like it.
    Well mate, tough **** because we don’t like your football and losing week on week. It’s beyond embarrassing now.

    Tessem summed it up really by saying that under RM, nothing is really changing and we’re not winning matches and we’d be better getting in a manager who isn’t liked and winning matches.

    As I said on other thread:

    RM’s comments are that of a man who either knows he’s about to be sacked, or of a man who knows he never will be.

    Probably 2k fans who were at villa today just lumping on after hearing that rather than blaming his style of football or THB, it was actually their fault we conceded today and had no shots at goal

    Wasn’t going to say this here, but if it makes you feel better, at least two members of the board are certainly aware (from about three days back) of our feelings, and also are aware that Danny Rohl might be a good choice. Whether they pay attention to that is another question.

    And, I really don’t get these fans who say, well we’re down already so what’s the point of getting rid of RM? Really? Give your heads a bloody serious wobble

    Yup, I thought they were the words of someone so arrogant he knows he will never be sacked.

    Yeah we’ve never pulled off an escape before? People forget the 90’s

    I said it half in jest a few weeks ago.

    But I absolutely cannot stand the bloke or his awful football. He has to go, we literally can’t get worse than 0 shots on goal.

    Exactly. With worse teams.
    If we had got shot of him after the Leicester game and got in a competent manager who can adapt and is tactically aware, we wouldn’t be in the bottom 3 imho.
    And I still feel it’s not to late now. Ditch him tonight then a new man has a few games before January window to wheel and deal and you never know. Would rather die trying that just keep putting up with the same bullshit and excuses week on week.

    Best thing that we could do it sack him now (I mean tonight), bring in Lallana as caretaker until we pay the compo and get Danny Rohl in.

    The first bit I never thought I’d say about that Judas twatbeard, but he has redeemed himself and seems to give a ****.

    And to those fans who still love him.
    We go to wolves who were conceding goals for fun and score zero.Hadn’t won at home for several months.
    Today, that was Villas first clean sheet at home since March and we didn’t register one shot on target.
    Couldn’t score against 10 men Newcastle for over an hour of the match.
    Bournemouth away was one of the most inept performances I think I’ve ever seen.
    And we have 5 points from 45 available. Minus 20 goals and are on course to be the worst team EVER in the premier leagues history.

    I hope that the 2 board members are 2 of the more influential ones and will put this comedy to bed, tonight?
