Remi Garde - Departs Aston Villa

[TopDeck113]

Houllier's heart, assuming it is functioning correctly, wouldn't be in it.  This is NOT Anfield.

This should be turned into a rap song of sorts.

'We're building something special here.  We're building, building, building something, building building building something special here.'

Isn't he already employed as a DoF for the red bull teams?  Someone like that.

This should be turned into a rap song of sorts.

'We're building something special here.  We're building, building, building something, building building building something special here.'

I think it would make a very effective chant, and would fit nicely with the gallows humour that our wonderful supporters do so well. Imagine a loud rendition of "we're building something special" (to the tune of "you don't know what you're doing") raining down from the stands if we go a few goals down in a match. It would certainly highlight the absurdity of the statement.

Relegation will equal a new owner and a clearout of all the deadwood on the playing and non playing side. I would then tell Eddie Howe to name his price and get him in as manager. Good young, but experienced manager who would welcome the chance to take over a club of our size. He has probably already reached his peak at Bournemouth

The buck for the loss of income caused by relegation stops with Fox not with Garde. The use of the word "we" in connection with this mythical building project is a diversionary tactic.  As was said on here by somebody far wiser than I, Pulis was the man to save Fox's arse not Sherwood. Fox will stand or fall on what the accountants say not what Lawro says.

Fox will stand or fall subject to where Lerners head is at any particular moment in time or until he meets another telesales manager.

The buck stops with the chairman and that's that.

Yes. Precisely.

The Fantastic Mr Fox worked for Nike as sports marketing director and then Arsenal as chief commercial officer. How does that qualify him to become CEO at the Villa? And when he spouts gobbledygook about 'projects', 'false narratives' and 'building something special' does he not realise that no-one is fooled apart from his hapless employer.

Is there really no-one at the club willing to take him to one side and suggest that if he has nothing sensible to say then he is better off keeping his mouth shut?

[mr underhill]

obviously not.

[tomd2103]

I was previously all for Garde staying on no matter what happens at the end of the season, but there is surely going to reach a point where we are going to have to consider his position.  We aren't getting any better and there is a strong argument that we are getting worse.

[PaulWinch again]

We have to wait until he gets in some of his own players. It's not fair to fully judge him on the utter shite he has. What can he do about Guzan just letting a goal in at his near post, Gestede just being awful, or most of the rest of them.

[Archie]

I have had enough, it is quite clear that Garde is crap too, the reason why he has been signed remains a big mistery.

Agree completely, he's not had nearly enough time, not been able to bring in any of his own players yet. To be truthful I feel sorry for the bloke.
