Alot of pleasure could be gained by keeping Garde just to make a point that player power has no place at Villa park, but it is never going to happen, like it or not the biggest asset at most clubs are it's players, not the manager, look at the influence that cock socket Terry has at Chelski.
Garde has made his stand by publicly slating certain professional ability and attitudes about the squad in the press, but he then does not help himself, I am sorry he may not be very good but give me Hutton at right back all day over Richards, then do not make it even harder by changing formation to 3 centre backs and have to accommodate him again.
Gabby up front please for gods sake, I am sure there is a kid within the club that will make a better effort than Gabby, he does not have to score as Gabby never does, could have played Sinclair up there on his own.
There is no need to put 5, 6 or 7 of the kids in all at once, but Lyden for Westwood,maybe one or two more and do not change the formation so you have to accommodate wankers like Richards and Gabby, it is not as if that has worked is it.
