"The manager has just been sacked when you've sold Benteke, sold Delph, lost Vlaar and nearly got relegated with those players, and you've brought in worse players and expect better results...I don't see how that's fair really."  Jermaine Jenas - 22nd October.

Last night on MOTD2 (paraphrasing).  'I have never seen such a transformation in a team's performance after one game of a new manager.'

It must be great getting paid for just saying whatever comes into your head at any given moment week to week.

I thought Jenas on MOTD2 seemed actually shocked and amazed at the transformation last night. Considering what he'd said about TS I thought he could have said something to support his previous position but he didn't so fair play to him. Keown also said positive things about Remi Garde which was good to hear (I wonder what he'd be like as a defensive coach?).

A grateful one, if the weekend papers are correct.

He has supposedly lost loads of money due to bad investments (along with others), and presumably needs all the work he can get.

Ray Wilkins: 'Aston Villa won't survive'

Former Aston Villa assistant manager Ray Wilkins has predicted that the West Midlands club will be relegated at the end of the season.

The Villans, who have recently appointed Remi Garde as their new manager, are rooted to the foot of the Premier League table and Wilkins has said that it will be "extremely difficult" for them to claw their way back to safety. When asked by BT Sport whether they will stay up this season, Wilkins said: "No. I think it's extremely difficult for them at the moment. "I would love to see them [stay up], because I had a really nice affinity with the guys, but I think where they find themselves at the moment it's going to take a hell of a lot to transfer that into massive points. "I think it's going to be an extremely difficult season for them."

Wilkins joined Tim Sherwood at Aston Villa in the summer, but lasted just four months as he was released from his contract when Sherwood was sacked.

Fuck off Ray.

[Villa in Denmark]

Succinctly put.

[Rigadon]

What a ******

[Billy Walker]

That Ray Wilkins comment, on so many levels, is gobsmacking. I presume he wasn't saying this to the boys when he worked at Bodymoor Heath?

 Stick it on the noticeboard Remi and use it to fire the players up. 

[Richard E]

So he thinks him and his mate had got us into a hopeless situation whilst simultaneously believing they shouldn't have been sacked?

[PaulWinch again]

Well thank fuck that sort of attitude is out of the club.

[andyh]

Fucking fat twat wanker !

[IAmTheOneIanOlney]

Heard him on TalkSport the other day talking to Alan Brazil and he was saying whatever he could to undermine Garde, stuff like "the boys were bound to be low when he came in as they loved Tim so much," "They are all incredibly physically fit," etc. Just anything to contradict any of Garde's initial observations. It was pathetic and I lost what little respect I had for him immediately.

And Alan Brazil, what a truly hateable twat.

[Nastylee]

Another fat bellend who spends most of the time spouting shit about lording it up with celebs and drinking champagne. Fuck off you detestable that.

[LeeB]

The players must be distraught at being organised into an effective, point winning unit inside 5 days by the unproven foreigner. Beside themselves.
