Garde has been handed the poison pill in the chalice from the palace.
Garde has been handed the poison pill in the chalice from the palace. We should endeavour to keep him but the majority of the rest including Lerner need to go, and quick. Without the PL bonus we could be languishing in lower divions for a while. Lerner isn't prepared to spend shinola. It is hard to write never mind consider our projects. We have been cattle trucked since Lerner fecked Martin O'Neill off and that is a while now..back to the early 70's misery now.
When I believed that the board would not be so stupid as to stitch up Remi Garde in the transfer window, I expected him to stay for next season and we would come back immediately. Those bets are off. If Remi stays he will only do so if they honour the commitments made to him about money available. The January debacle now makes me suspect nowhere near adequate money will be provided and Remi will walk. Enter somebody like Pearson and the best we can hope for will be a play off place next year

We got to visit small clubs like - er - Bournemouth!
