But what about missing out on Europe next season, because of a finish outside of the top 4? We've been on a poor run of form - and I think the board just couldn't see any signs of improvement - I think the loss to WBA was the final nail in his coffin... I also think the excellent start to the season - gave the Board unrealistic expectations - hence RDM made a rod for his own back - Going from 1st to 3rd (when he was sacked) seemed like a U-Turn in performances and form. I think 'everybody' was surprised he wasn't given until after Xmas - but the Board clearly thought a new manager before Xmas and January window would be a better option than retaining RDM's services. We won't ever know if this decision was correct - as even if we judge RB from now to the end of the season, that's not comparing Apples with Apples... So understand the frustration - but hopefully as a forum we can all move on and look forward to smashing Fulham...

Cheesy nope - but Tapas flavoured - sure He best give MARIN a start! - he deserves it

Hmm - but having a disruptive thread where people are drawing enemy lines is not conducive to a 'debate'? A debate can be broken to down into component parts - the problem is, that 99% of the posts are emotive and not judging RDM on his managerial skill... RDM = Club Legend RDM = Super Guy RDM = Average Manager Now that's my opinion - I'm trying to remove emotion. I went back and studied WBA form, the same thing was repeating itself at CFC - so for whatever reason, the board didn't feel comfortable that RDM would be able to turn it around. Now RA and the Board are being abused, for putting the club first, in their opinion and best interests... I just dont see how people can be claiming this is so bad and they don't want to support the Team because of 1 decision. None of us know if it will be the right decision until the end of the season, but my stance is, the decision has been made, let's back the Team. If people want to bash RA - then they should send emails to the Club, not protest in-game / at games etc - as this damages the player morale - which we shouldnt be doing. Hope that clarifies the situation...

So you're a leader because you slag off RA and the Board? Hmm - I would change Leader into spoilt, whiny, clueless, spineless numpty... What's done is done, you bleating on about (sheep reference) ain't gonna change anything. So either accept this is the way it is (reality) or go on living in your fantasy world where RDM was the best manager in the world.

Yaaaaawn - surely not another topic on the same thing... Hero gets fired, people get angry, life goes on...

Hmm think the conditions played a part, but we closed space down well and made them look ordinary. Apart from the lack of physical stuff from CFC, this reminded me of a more Mourinho esqe performance, except we didnt have Drog or Lamps to nick the win... City weren't great, because the conditions and our tactics stopped them playing... Defensively they were good though - which is a shame...

I agree and if you read my other posts I'm defending Lamps. 20 goals a season, even if he's half as good, is still 10!!! That's what we are lacking and some quality through balls...

No but his first touch means he's unlikely to be bullied as the ball is lost. He's WBA till Jan, but like I say hope he can do something for us as he is a beast - the guy looks like the Hulk... In 2 years he will be unplayable, just hope he has Didiers knack of scoring Final goals

Well to be fair, I'm sticking to my opinion, you and the others yours Not gonna argue tho - as agree with most things you say...

I would have Chris Sutton over Torres, defender turned striker - lol I would love a jimmy floyd or Flo... We've always had decent strikers, now.... January will see this fixed! #confident Lukaku could be a great sub post Jan, but he is a little lazy in the games I've seen him play at WBA. But if he scores sure we can forgive that...

Agree The problem is our movement, or lack of it, which means we have to try world class passes all the time, no surprise they don't always come off.. Ramires is great bursting forward, but he needs a decent clear run from our forwards to play too - when that doesn't happen it's all going to fast and he ends up losing it, or trying ambitious said ball. He's definitely better in the middle tho, please never on RW again

Lol already been bollocked once today for being rude... So nice try dude but I ain't biting... Utd are consistent 1st or 2nd place team over a number of years... Of course they are shit, what was I thinking... If you don't understand experience, I guess you've never been in a situation where it's been needed!!! Experience = invaluable, that's why it's called experience...

Hmm well I didn't hear that and I suspect many others watching SkySports didn't either? Could be a stitch up attempt - as honestly he didn't say that...

In the Sky interview he didn't say anything of the sort? He said he wouldn't mention individual players? Where's this interview from?

Hmm I still think its useful to keep experience around the dressing room, training pitch and the actual game. Utd have shown how it should be done with Giggs and Scholes, why shouldn't we do it too? As for AVB never wanted him...

Augero, Dzeko and Silva - then Tevez They're not rubbish, our fans wanted Dzeko I see that as a defensive victory, rather than City being shit But I would

Lol please do - I live by the sword and die by the sword That's just the way I am - tried changing so many times - but can't Should do the old reply and wait 5 minutes before hitting post I blame the new forum server, the old one used to crash so much, my replies never made it - LoL

I know my comment was stupid. That day will come soon and I will have to respect it - regardless of whether I like it. Lamps and Cole could be on their way out - for me that's shocking... But if that's the way the club want to play it then fine - whether it's a mistake or not, we will see...

Have done and apologised - just got angry over out of context comments...

Yup sorry But you took my comments out of context Apologies

The guys in Studio analysed it - Mata was forced out wide and the defence were being more Zonal Not bad for 3 sessions... Please just give him time. Nobody here is responsible for RDM sacking, so why are we against each other? Like I say feel free to prove me wrong in 5 games I hope for CFCs sake I'm right though...

Last 6 games you fucking idiot... Honestly just fucking get a life!

Try reading... LIKELY is the word I used... I didn't say we would have Definitely lost... FFS - read what you want to see, just to prove a useless insignificant point. RDM is fucking gone and good riddance... (Harsh but this RDM love is fucking annoying now)

How can you change anything with 3 training sessions? Benitez just met all of the players! RDM was different he already knew the players... Just give RB 5 games then slag the bloke off - if he is failing to perform!!!

Cock!!! 3 Training sessions - if this had been RDM we would have likely lost this...
