Remi Garde - Departs Aston Villa

[BoskoDjembaSalifou]

How can you faith in someone long term that you want fired today? You have to laugh.

Totally misunderstood my post. Not surprised coming from you

Now have I misunderstood anything? You said these two things in the same post:

I'd be tempted to sack him

I like Garde and have faith in him long term

All I asked is how you can possibly have both?

I said I'd be tempted to sack him and appoint someone who wants to have a go i.e. win football matches. This is because Garde seems happy to draw games. Later on in my post, I said I like Garde and I have faith in him long term. Do you need me to explain what I meant by long term? Probably, so I will. NEXT SEASON, THE SEASON AFTER THAT, THE ONE AFTER THAT ONE etc. Satisfied? Or are you gonna twist my words again?

Are you tempted a lot or a little bit or somewhere in between?  When I say I like Remi Garde, it means just that. No ifs no buts. I can accept there are those who want to sack him after six weeks but I genuinely can't understand a mind set that has built in compromise. As the old saying goes, you can't be a bit pregnant. You either are or are not.

Now I've got it.

Sack him now and bring him back in the summer.

Sack him now and then bring him straight back in to replace himself.

I like Garde. He's not a tea cup thrower by the look of it, and in some moments we probably do need that, but he's certainly a strict disciplinarian. He demands a certain level and he's not afraid to tell players when they're not achieving that level. Gabby has swanned around the club for too long and expected to waltz into the starting lineup. Remi has demanded more. He's indentified others falling short.
Now I know many, myself included have wanted to see Kozak but it may well be, for whatever reason, that Remi hasn't seen enough. Effort? Quality? I don't know which.

He's taken Grealish to task, who like so many who get thrust into the limelight very early, can often suddenly believe their bollocks are bigger than they are.

Now I've not agreed with every decision Garde has made. I have however agreed with the way he's approached stamping his authority on the side. It's plain for everyone to see, except our last 3 managers, that Gabby is a rotten apple. A festering boil that either needs drastic treatment or removal. Now if Gabby reacts in the right way, we may well see him come back. IF.

We haven't won yet under Garde. The Watford game was the biggest disappointment. The other games he's had have been tougher on paper and we've perhaps come away with about what was expected, but honestly, even Watford look a side with a bit of momentum so us expecting a win may have been a little too arrogant.

I don't think we're not going out to win games. We are trying but in Remi's defence he's inherited far and away the most fuck awful backline in the league. Amavi (injured) and Richards aside (who's played out of position), every player in our defense are absolutely fucking atrocious. No ifs, no buts. Fucking dire. Piss poor. Way below the standard of this league or way past their prime. Shite. What can he do with those cards dealt to him? And a Keeper who has turned to complete bollocks too. He's also inherited an awful choice of strikers.

This season is all but gone but I'm happy to see him try and build something with his own signings whilst trying to intergrate our youngsters, which could actually be easier in the Championship.
He won't settle for anything less than 100% though. I'm pleased with that. Under previous managers certain players got away with murder. I want to see the right reactions from players like Grealish. I want them to follow what Veretout and Ayew have done as an example.

No, no, I think I've got it. I think it's a bit like the old witches dunking test - if he floats then sack him, if he drowns then keep him long term.

I'm almost convinced I haven't twisted the OP's words there.

Grow up please.

Write something sensible then.

Not suprised to hear this.  What on earth were Sherwood and Wilkins playing at in the Summer?

Fox remarked on Garde's view of the players fitness briefly in the meeting we had as well.

quite a few people wanted Pulis to come in because they believed he could keep us up in the short term,
 but had no faith in him for the long term

maybe that's the sort of thing he meant just the other way round

Grow up please.

I could do with being a bit taller.

According to my BMI I'm 3cm too short.
