Remi Garde - Departs Aston Villa

[ozzjim]

I see Genesio has got the to job at Lyon so wrong be joining soon. Still need a couple of coaches in.

[Villa in Denmark]

Lyon have sacked their coach and appointed Genesio until the end of the season.

Edit: just seen ozzjim posted the same an hour ago.

yes but it's a different scenario and a different league.

And SGT was of a different time - 30 years ago.

The game has changed so much since then it is barely worth comparing.

Also I don't buy this having to have knowledge of getting out of the championship.  There's a good chance Derby will come up as well as Middlesborough.  You'd hardly say their managers knew this league inside out when they joined.

Sadly, there's a lot of truth in this.

What, in one the many adverts festooned around the piece? Because there's sweet fuck all in the bits attributed to Merson. It's two paragraphs that totally contradict each other, and the carry all the weight and insight of your general Daily Star reader.

Is there? It's sounds like the usual load of old horseshit that Merson spouts. Do you expect to gain credibility on this site posting links to moronic arseholes like Merson spouting bollocks. If there was any substance to the article about why he'd been a failure I'm sure many of us would have been willing to debate but a) it's the Daily Star and b) it's Paul Merson neither noted for their incisive contributions to intelligent and reasoned debate.

To be fair, it does say that we play West Ham on Boxing Day.

And it's correct about how many points we have.

Maybe that's the "lot of truth" than LTA was referring to.

Off the pitch Merson was and remains a total dick head.  The media, especially its lower Sargasso Sea regions is for ex footballers like Merson what Frinton on Sea is for the incontinent.

I can see the words 'Paul Merson shares his' so won't bother reading. The guy is a moron, an inspiration to thickies the world over who wish to get into the world of television or punditry. He's the class idiot in a room full of them, takes some doing when you look at the competition.

a few years ago birmingham opened its first residential facility for those with drug and alcohol issues. we approached merson to open it, would have been half an hour, cut the ribbon, few photos etc. all was going well until he asked how much we would be paying him.

After all his well documented problems and the help he received you'd think he would appreciate how important such places are, he's an even bigger moron that I thought.

Sadly, it's Merson ....

... need more be said?

[ozzjim]

Merton was a wonderful player but is an awful pundit.  Garde is mensa like compared to him or timmy.  As for experienced premier league Allardyce had taken Sunderland and Moyes wanted to stay in Spain.

I had completely the opposite experience with him when I asked him to be a patron for the young people's drug service (about 15 years ago now). He didn't hesitate to agree and spent about 3 hours with us one afternoon chatting about the different ways he could be involved.

Sadly - the organisation concerned tended to talk a good game but not actually follow up with very much, so it didn't come to anything, but he was really positive and helpful, and money was never mentioned once.

Spot on, just easy money for Merson to trot out all the cliched comments said by others. As far as appointing an experienced premiership manager, I'd just say to that, Allardyce.
