I keep saying this, said it when he was sacked and got told nonsense. Same as Rafa at Everton

Football insider now saying Ruud is to be sacked for Dyche. I call BS tbh

Would be just like us that

Pointless to get rid of ruud at this point, so either Ruud has agreed to take us for a promotion push, or he goes at the end of the season, no manager with any worth is coming here with our current squad

Are we wiping the canvas clean in preparation for a new manager in a new season perhaps?

yes, he needs to realise he he has very little footballing knowledge. he needs to have footballing people to advise him, and thats not Rudkin and Whelan

we all know it's the DoF we need first and foremost, someone with a 5 year plan to identify talent; make us an attractive prospect, reduce the wage structure, weed out the dross, increase the revenue, and then find us a coach for the long term and connect with the fans. We need a DoF that is ahead of the curve, cus Rudkin is an embarrasment

Then we should have thrown him.in the under 16's

I literally don’t know the answer to that question. I would have probably blamed the club over the player, Rodger’s said that youri needed to play every week to consistently perform, I suspect when his interest wains, so does his self discipline.

Mads woyo. Vestegaard. Okoli. Thomas Bilal. Ndidi daka. Mavididi Facundo Vardy

Well it’s all a game of opinions, and in mine, the games we’ve looked most confident, have been under RVN, and we lost.

I think he tried experience and discipline over flair and ill discipline, he tried to drill those players to just get something to build on in terms of confidence, organisation and consistency, but was let down and did get it wrong, but he did go 4-4-2 when we went behind, and it got worse, arsenals 1st goal was because he didn’t lay it off the VK, lost the ball and we got hit. I don’t think any of our squad would get us the results to survive, we needed signing in Jan. i bet RVN totally changes it against West Ham and we’ll still get ‘hammered’

Where do you think RVN has gone wrong?

I don’t have a great memory for eras, but remember sitting there freezing my ass off on many occasion thinking what am I doing here, those players don’t care.

We were doggo every game, none of the games we got points did we look the better team, that’s why Cooper got sacked, we lost key players to add to that, the players aren’t stupid, they’ll know they’re doggo, unless you’re Wout Faes.

When you see Youri Tielemens giving his all for Villa, and you remember him in our 22/23 season, overweight, lazy, blowing after 45, but getting picked every game, who do you blame?

Yes I saw all the pre season games, what was weird was when Golding played, I thought he looked decent, some fella on twitter reckons he’s not been turning up to training

Already put myself on a self ban due to ridiculous price rise for individual tickets

Do you think that there's any possibility we can stay up? Genuinely interested to see if anyone thinks we can. This is why I don't blame RVN, whilst i don't think he's the best manager, he was always on to a hiding, we needed players in January and RVN knows it.

One of the things they say in football is you can get the habit of losing, and it's tough to turn it around when confidence is low. So.dont you think RVN had a tougher task than Cooper, and it's not really fair to compare like 4 like, as when RVN took over, the players were already low on confidence.

I don't think he's a brilliant manager, but nevertheless a manager has to set up a certain way and keep drilling the players to that system and hope for the best but sometimes the situation is hopeless. We did the same with Cooper, the players did, we changed style because that's what everyone was calling for and we still lost. We played 3 at the back against Newcastle and still lost, I think RVN had a glimmer of hope after Arsenal, and now he realises there's nothing he can do, only Ruud will know if he's been promised next season, if he wants next season, because you'd think his next move will be to prepare for that

We cannot replace RVN till the end of the season, it's pointless. No manager will want relegation on his CV, not unless they're desperate or deluded they can turn things around with this squad. I'm pretty sure RVN will completely alter his tactics on Thursday, more towards what the fans want, and we'll still get beat.

I've seen this Peter Taylor thing a couple of times now and think it's really unfair. RVN has beem handed a legacy a fundemental errors when creating a squad, and has clearly decided a route physicality, experience and organisation to try and get points rather than youth, Flair and chaos, now many might not agree with his decision but nobody can say if we'd be better off with chaos. Peter Taylor inherited a decent hard working side and dismantled it to bring in lower league players that he though he could coach into world beaters, there's a clear difference. Do I think RVN as out of his depth? Yes, but he was probably promised signings and hasn't had them, and it would take a really special manager to get anything out of these, I remember how dreadful Bournemouth were under Howe the season they went down, there's a limit to what managers can do.

I think he changes it now, I'd be amazed if he stuck with the same 11
