Remi Garde - Departs Aston Villa

[Villafirst]

Garde is useless - he can't motivate or pick the right team. Get rid now and bring in Moyes or Pearson.

He's got to pull his finger out and do something brave now. He's got a window in order to try and start building a side with some cohesion but at what point do we have to acknowledge his record? No win in 8 games and we've never looked ever close to it. I don't care about circumstances or what you have to deal with. Any premier league manager who goes 10-15 games without a win should be getting fucked right off whilst a line of fans piss on his fucking shoes as he exits. There's no excuse.
He's getting very close to that. Lose at Sunderland and we come out of our best run of games with a piss poor 2 points and the games begin getting harder again.

How many more losses do we grace him?
We're down. No two ways about it. That's done. That's carved in fucking stone. Forget about that shit. But we still need to begin winning some games or looking like we're going for it. The excuses only last so long.

Utter bollocks. We are gone now, and Garde has had 6 games with no opportunity to get his players in. Does anyone honestly believe he'd be playing Hutton, Richardson, Clark if he had a choice. We're going down regardless of who is in charge, so how about we give Garde a chance. He's made mistakes, but nothing to justify the sheer hopelessness of our players. We've played alright in spells under him and we've been punished by terrible individual errors.

I've read two posts today that have made me think of Violet from Just William. They were both by you.

Beginning to think he might not be the right man.
As shit as the team is, I would have hoped he could instill some fight, passion and belief.
We look more dysfunctional than ever and that's down to him; But I also think he may be being sabotaged from within by c***s like Agbonlahor, and for some reason I think Richards is a trouble maker.

No way will he sack Garde, not a chance. He gets this season and probably next season to in the Championship.

Conceivably though, very conceivably (sadly) he could probably go this whole season without a single win. In fact I'd put money on that being a hell of a lot more likely than Garde stringing together the 9 wins needed to even have a sniff of surviving before the season ends.

There comes a point where every manager must be accountable for their results. We are down. Totally and utterly but even so, we shouldn't be completely writing off the results. There needs to be some mark of progress leading into the next season. At VP in particular we need to start getting results and at the very least making it a hard place to play.

Good, because he's had barely any chance yet.

[LukeJames]

Wouldn't suprise me if he walked before the end of the season, he looks completely lost and motionless on the touchline.

Garde needs a chance to be able to get the likes of Gabby, Hutton, Clark out of the club.

I can think of a term for you....!

But because you don't want to be banned, you're not going to use it.

I'm starting to wonder just what Garde brings to the table. I want to like him and hope that his ideas and methods are just buried under layers of shit players and rock-solid inbred lack of confidence, but no part of the team has been improved by him or his coaching staff. You can point to Veretout and Ayew but I suspect they were always players who would come good once they got the measure of the league. The back four, for example, look like they've literally never played the game, let alone played together. What do they do all week? What do experienced players like Lescott and Richards do to keep a back line organised? Why does Garde persist in the obvious Richards at centre half fallacy?

I don't really want to see the youth players until we're down. I don't want them tainted by this shag-sack of a team who wouldn't know commitment if they were forced to play at gunpoint. I hope, hope, hope that Garde is busy from 7am tomorrow working on his Championship squad because if he's got anything about him, we'll need to see a decent amount of aptitude going in to what will be a bastard of a league to get out of without the obvious handicap of being every minnow's top target for humiliation.

And you think we'll replace them with PL standard players on similar wages who aren't actually passed it yet?
The cynic in me suggests they'll be replaced with more of the rubbish we've been signing for the last 6 years.

[themossman]

I don't think garde would get the boot now in a million years. For the record I don't think he should but even if I did think he should he's lerner's best chance of giving us a load of bull about planning long term for another 2-3 years, as we nosedive through the divisions.
