Remi Garde - Departs Aston Villa

[PeterWithesShin]

Having seen him this season i'd say it's a fair bet he couldn't, wouldn't you?

Senderos looked a better centre back than Richards and Clark.

Really not sure, some players recover quicker than others but get the point. Replacing both centre Backs and the left back was far from ideal.

“People are saying that Villa will go down and when you look at this, you have to say they are right,” Wright said.

“When you look at Micah Richards for the first goal, he has to do more.

“It’s just slack. He’s the captain - he’s got to make more of an effort. These are the reasons why they’re going down.”

@IanWright0 I respected you as a player! And your not a bad pundit but talking about me like that isn't on!!

@IanWright0 what has captain got to do with it?

@IanWright0  I can take constructive Criticism but not this!

Oh Dear! Thanks PWS.

Completely agree. I can understand why he was the fall-guy with the squad-cuts, as he's invariably unavailable for 80% of the season, but - if he's fit - then one of the first things I'd be doing on January 1st would be finding a place in the squad for him. Above all else, he talks and organises, which none of Lescott, Richards, Okore or Clark seem to be able to do.

No point in keep blaming the manager the problems start at the Top. Even if we sorry when we get relegated I'd still keep him we can't keep changing managers

I'm in broad agreement with you, Phil. That said, Garde doesn't help himself by saying the dreadful results are down to the players being psychologically weak: rather than being shite. I'm of the opinion that the majority of our hapless arseholes are both mentally weak & technically limited - and I see nothing from our current manager that gives me confidence in his ability to instil the same in the players. His starting 11 yesterday was never going to get a positive result, yet he went ahead & played it regardless. We've not even witnessed the customary 'Dead Cat Bounce' since he came in and I see nothing to suggest that it's likely to happen. I feel sorry for the guy in all honesty - as he was mad enough to drink from our toxic chalice, but I'm sure a sharp exit and a large pay-off at the end of this wretched season will help soften the blow of abject failure. Triffick.

Playrightback.

[andyh]

It's probable that one of the joining conditions Richards insisting on was that he plays centre back. He clearly fancies himself  as reincarnation of Bobby Moore. More fools us for agreeing to that if that was the case.

I've thought the same aftab. There can be no other reason than its in his contract.
That said, if he had anything about him and Remi said I need you to play RB this week,  his simple reply is, 'of course, boss'.

Haha! Excellent.

[brian green]

If Garde does not halt this string of defeats I can see him not being our manager in the Championship. By mutual consent is the phrase I believe. I suspect he is not a happy man.

[olaftab]

Agreed. Also not sure if he will be able to handle the wrath of the crowd at VP for another 10 home games this season.

If Garde has any of the material found in great men like Saunders and Clough he should tell him straight what's best for the team and if he doesn't want to put himself out he can do one.

I think I'd be inclined to give Andre Green his debut at Sunderland. He looks stronger Than Westwood and more comfortable on the ball.
