I think debate is great. But regurgitating the same old shite is just plain boring... Fact: RDM is gone! Will bleating about it change anything? NO. It's just stupid to have such a polarising thread in the immediate aftermath... It's not going to change opinions and only leads to conflict. The subject is too emotive to be pragmatic... Edit: And people claiming they no longer support CFC is madness. Fine, if you're going to do it, do it - but don't then come back to a CFC forum and try to divide the forum...

It's done... End of story, move along, nothing to see here... You've made your point, those that agree will agree, those that don't wont. Mods AGAIN can we please close these threads? It's just cyclical and fractitious. Lets just concentrate on the matchday thread

Well of I was smashing that, I'd have a dip in form too! In fact, wouldn't get out of bed for a few weeks

Ok - FORGET the DOUBLE PIVOT!!! It's fucking shit and clearly hasn't worked! That was RDMs ONLY formation... If Lampard still has legs we can use him in a Scholes like position. If I never see the fucking double pivot again it won't be too soon, with our current crop of players... Fuck me RDMs ONE DIMENSIONAL approach has really rubbed off on you guys... Saddening....

For the love of God - PLEASE CLOSE THIS THREAD It's ridiculous, same old stuff, people saying they will no longer support CFC. We don't need this shit right now - main focus is WINNING AGAIN Get behind the TEAM FFS! If your pride is injured, deal with it like a man and move on....!!!

Good luck with the next team you 'support'... Big Overreaction - RDM wasn't that great a manager, almost out of Europe, down to 4th place, WBA above us (RDMs previous club) You think that's where we should be? No we should be miles ahead of the rest of the stuttering teams. Utd are poor, Mancini is trying to change a winning formula and failing - the rest ... That's what pissed off RA, so RDM had to go...

Lmao saying Lampard has chipped in with a few important goals is the understatement of the century!!! 20 goals a season for 6 years was it? Dude I normally agree with everything you say, but gotta pull that one up :)

Agree he needs to keep building up. Maybe Championship or even a newly promoted EPL team?

Couldnt score in a brothel

Wow - that graph is shocking Also who expected WBA to be above us? I bet Lukaku is pissing himself

Yeah for a thread Entitled Respect the Fans... Shouldn't we Respect each other first?

20 mins Came on as Sub...

Yeah Lukaku looks a diiferent player from the Pre-Season Donkey Delighted for him - he will be unplayable in a few years

Reminds me of Flo

Huge difference, this is a professional league. So the players aren't quite Premiership standard, but they work hard and tackle hard... Watch some games, it's mostly physical stuff which is great for him, will develop his strength and balance...

THIS!!!! Honestly you guys think RDM was some managerial GOD He was out of his depth in the training ground car park puddle... It's not his fault, all happened a bit to quick for him. He needs to manage a team where he can try a Plan B. I think the pressure got to him and in the end he was scared of making changes, that is not a good thing, your manager should have confidence in their ability - just didn't get that vibe from RDM Always Rabbit in Headlights. No denying he's a nice bloke, and legend - but just not think he has the 'mustard' at this level...

Really! You thought we were playing well? And we conceded because of JTs absence? When the rot starts, best cut it out, before it takes the whole ship down. The guy had no Plan B, couldn't rotate to save his life... Go see how that worked out at WBA... Fact is RDM was a gamble, as soon as the odds looked shit RA cashed out... Don't forget the humiliation of us likely going out in a group we should have qualified from in CL... I'm just reporting what RA saw and didn't like... Don't shoot the messenger

No Plan B No defence Beaten by any decent European Team Enough? Or should I go on...? That's the reality RA saw... didn't like and decided to change....

Agreed - they seem like reasonable guys - just enjoying the success they have craved for so many years - must have been tough in Utd's shadow - fair play to em I say...

LOL - I think we have a good chance of getting something out of the game, especially if we can nick an early goal and keep the pressure on... City seem to concede easily, but then other teams never finish them off... e.g. Real Madrid... Then they get some belief back and end up scoring... Time to expose their lack of chemistry this season and get Rambo to mark SILVA out of the game! I think RB will definitely have man-to-man on SILVA and Aguero - like he did in the old days with Sammi Hyypia (sp?)... Always tight on his man...

@rmpr - There's DEFINITELY rumours of Torres wanting out to Atletico (but that was prior to El Spanio joining, so who knows ) - but I'd prefer to have 3 strikers - so Falcao + Cavani would be cool... Maybe Studge will go - likely QPR if Arry has his way... Shame... but having Falcao+Cavani+Torres (backup - knee surgery lol!) would be cool... Be interesting to see what RAFA thinks our best formation is - I still think 3-5-2 BUT very risky in EPL... without a disciplined defensive team mentality... Actually, it would be 3-5-1-1 with 1 in the hole - queue pics of Mick McCarthy ...

Probably been drinking

@rmpr - yup but we are lacking firepower - I dont think thats gone unnoticed at Board level - and RAFA's assesment of the squad will definitely show how light we are up front. So I could see us trying to sign both - seriously, we are European Champions and unlikely to qualify, so something RADICAL needs to be done, this is not the time to sit back and say, we won the CL - end of story, we want to get back and Win it again and again, along with the EPL and other cups... So if he has the money and can meet the release clauses - then Expect to see them here, well at least 2 out of the 3

Yup Helen Flanagans boobs look great now - but in 10 years will look like Spaniels Ears... In Salzburg - you can find 1000's of hotter women - without EXPERT make-up... all with nice bodies and a good level of education... Same in Munich too - not really been elsewhere in Germany, but assume the same

Did it get results? Yes... Then there is your answer.... Stop confusing sentiment with desire to win AT ALL COSTS... That's why Schumacher raped Damon Hill - Damon Hill wasn't prepared to risk everything to win... like Wenger @ Arsenal... So RA decisions are not liked by all, but at least the guy stands by his decisions and if it doesn't work out he changes it - not bumbles on for 7+ years without a trophy... Football is about results - RDM couldn't produce, so we got lucky in the first few games - but since then we have been COMPREHENSIVELY beaten and outclassed tactically by ANY GOOD opponents and especially in Europe where we were traditonally strong... If you can't understand that, then your RDM bias is dialled on 'Overdrive'.... please reduce.
