If it had been anybody other than Percy I'd have ignored it but it does seem very out of character for him and I doubt, if it's not true, the club are very happy about it.It's a strange one indeed.

I have just watched Remi's pre Watford match interview on AVTV.It was very interesting, and he continues to come across very well.I get the feeling there is some real steel in there, and I think he is fast reaching reaching the point where he has evaluated the players, and is ready to say 'no more Mr.Nice guy, and don't think you can fuck with me'.I got the impression that he rates Sanchez, but maybe is not too enamoured with Kozak, Gardner and Gabby, although was a bit guarded when he said that he can only judge them by what he sees on the training pitch.I really, really want this guy to be the one who sorts this club out.
Manager Rémi Garde faced the press ahead of the home game against Watford.Find his pre-match thoughts below.On the job being more difficult now than when he arrived…I was not a dreamer.Now I am within the club - and it is my responsibility to find some solutions quickly because we need them.On expectations this weekend…I know that everyone expects us to win the game - and I'm the first one and the players also.But I am not expecting to have an easy game because if you look at the Watford results until now, they have done very well.It shows you how good they are.I think they are still in a positive mood since they have been promoted to the Premier League.On picking up three points…We want to, of course, win this game.We are going to try and do it in the way we want.But we will also accept a victory in the last minute, no problem with that.The first minutes will be important for everyone but the result at the end will be more important.On the application of his players this weekend…We are very well prepared for this huge game.Everyone has been training all-together throughout the week.I appreciate having all my squad for the training sessions.We have been working hard. I am still very pleased with the way we train, the way they are committed in the training sessions.I know it's quite new in terms of the way we train and the exercises we are doing in the sessions because every manager has his own way of training.They have settled in very well in terms of what I have been asking of them.On the transfer window…I will see what is possible to do.There are games to play before the opening of the window.My responsibility is to do as well as I can do with the players we have currently.If I am speaking too much about what could happen in the next moment, this is not good for them or for me.Let's be focused on what we can do now with the players we have.On Jack Grealish…Jack is training with the U21 team for the moment.He won't be included in the squad against Watford.

Steve Round has revealed that he didn't join Aston Villa after being offered a more junior position at the club than he had hoped for.The former Everton and Manchester United No.2 had been in talks with the claret and blues and had been to Bodymoor Heath to meet Remi Garde and his staff.He told Sky Sports today that the deal just wasn't right for both parties.He stated: " I met Remi Garde and his staff and I was impressed with what he is trying to do, it's innovative."He already had his own staff and assistant on board though and what I was being offered we both saw as being more of a junior role that was not really right for me."I was disappointed, Villa are a big club."I do want to get into management though and the deal just wasn't right for either of us."I wish Villa luck and I hope they get out of it."

A couple of wins under this guy and I can see us improving a lot. Need a win somehow at the weekend though.
The article in the Torygraph featuring Micah Richards and his critical comments about his team mates seems clear proof that the dressing room is as divided as it could possibly be. The seeds of attaching blame for failure on the incoming, largely francophone players, sown by Sherwood (I never wanted them), watered by Wilkins (not good enough to stay up) have now taken hold and the Villa captain whose own performances have left a great deal to be desired, considers it acceptable to criticise his own players in a national newspaper.Remi Garde now has to start at the very bottom and build a team from scratch. What faces him is far worse than was faced by O'Neill, Houllier, McLeish, Lambert or Sherwood.Every true Villa fan with the good of the club at heart must support Remi Garde through thick and thin to sort out the horrible problems he must rectify.
