Remi Garde - Departs Aston Villa

[myf]

Theres no way back from here, the new board need to make the decision now personally i think he was the right man at the wrong time but with all the defeats hes inspiring no one in that dressing room anymore. Let him go this week and get someone in place before the Summer to assess the squad.

"anymore" - did he ever?  I agree the sooner he leaves the better.  Just can't see us paying him off though with our financial predicament

[wittonwarrior]

Simply have not seen anything positive from him.  All Mr Gard seems to do is underline the issues with the team. 

We may just have to go with someone who initially is an unpopular chosen one for the job.

[ozzjim]

I think he is irrevocably damaged by this season.  He and Villa need to part ways for the sake of both.

[Stirchley Villain]

He's not to blame but he needs to go. An absolute fresh start is the only way forward.

Ranieri walked into a upwards moving Leicester and has done very well to keep that momentum going helped by being graced with 2 of the stand out players in the league this season , Vardy and Marhrez.Garde meanwhile walked into a club who have been heading downwards for 4 seasons and hadn't won in a number of games.

At the beginning of the season if you had been offered Garde , who had down well at Lyon during cost cutting measures at the club or Ranieri who as boss of Greece didn't win in 4 games and lost to the Faroe islands who would you have picked ?More interestingly if the mangers had gone to the opposite clubs would the clubs fortunes also be reversed , would Leicester under Garde be heading down without a trace and would Ranieri's Villa be 8 points clear at the top of the league ?

The manager can effect a club of that there is no doubt but he does need the tools , the players to perform to his directions.Garde his is blameless no he takes some responsibility but he hasn't the fundamentals in place .Case in point the position of goalkeeper , clearly Guzan was has not been rated be either TS or RG yet he is still out best keeper because as a , current at least Prem League club we have spent under £1.1mil on 3 senior goalkeepers.

This idiot does not give a shit about the club.  He's boring and has no passion   I hate the bloke.  Sooner he crawls back into the gutter where he belongs the better.

Just fuck off now.

One more like that and you'll be the one going.

[villan from luton]

I actually feel sorry for Garde, but he is not what we need going forward IMO.

[b23]

He has to go.

Worst Villa Manager ever.

[phantom limb]

Collymore reckons he'll be sacked this week.

[Tayls_7]

He has to go.

Worst Villa Manager ever.

Trumpesque in its credibility.

[ROBBO]

He has to go.

Worst Villa Manager ever.

Ridiculous statement, if Garde had the same squad as last season and had the same results I would agree but the fact is that the three best players from last season were sold and replaced with very average footballers. Sherwood was sacked because he had the same squad and couldn't win games either I don't care who we took on as manager the result would have been the same because we have the worst Villa squad I can ever remember.

[VinnieChase84]

Gone by end of Monday it seems. Firmly file his tenure as manager and impact on us in the same file that David Unsworth had

[peter w]

Whatever you think of Garde he hasn't been a success. I'm not sure whether the January lack of sales should really be held as his prime defence either. he missed out on a Croatian B keeper, a defender who went on loan to Bordeaux (I think) and a player who preferred Newcastle because they weren't rooted to the bottom. I'm not sure where the board went wrong on that one.

Garde has said the right things but really other than going from a totally aimless shit team to a totally shit team what has he done? Gestede and Ayew together could have been a way forward but we've seen it rarely. Wycombe haven't got the players but they gave us a game twice so I don't accept that you cannot get a bunch of players, the current ones, and forge them into a team that, well, tries a little. It's simply just not good enough.

I'm still torn though. I like him. He might be brilliant. He just hasn't got that across.

So prove me wrong ?

Get your stats out.

He may have mitigating circumstances. Granted.

He's been another Managerial disaster.

Tell me why he should'nt get the tin tack.

[adrenachrome]

His approach to management is to tell everybody they're shit and sit around looking glum.

That's just being French.

Xenophobic bullshit.

Or humour. Definitely one of the two

UKIP have some great jokes about the frogs.
