Remi Garde - Departs Aston Villa

[VinnieChase84]

Why would a millionaire footballer stay at someone's house rather than in a hotel ?

Relative of his

Still seems a bit odd. Not saying it's not true though

I doubt many of our current crop would listen to Garde anyway. They probably barely speak to each other

If you need someone to shout at you in order to get motivated to do your job you're probably not what we need

Just posting what I was told. Not spoken to the player directly so not going to say 100% said X,y, z.
Wouldn't surprise me though either way tbh. I mean RG doesn't come across as a 'motivator' , more science teacher

[Malandro]

Been told some things this afternoon. A current player is staying with a friend as his house is being refurbished.
Garde doesn't have the dressing room. He allegedly only speaks in depth to the French and foreign guys. He show no motivational stance or approach at all. Post match regardless of how we have played, he just leaves. Doesn't year a strip off anyone or give positives. Tony parks was the main 'motivator' in the dressing room and he has been told to wind his neck in by the current staff

Without wishing for you to betray a confidence, is this source one of the 'old guard' i.e. not signed this summer?

Surprisingly no!

So Rudy, Micah or Jolean.

I'm  thinking Jolean - Rudy doesn't give a crap and the other has villa connections.

I'm a little disappointed the manager is getting so much abuse. The players have been awful. We do look much better in patches - just awful errors.

All in all with the exception of Ayew, Veretout, Amavi and Okore, I really would like us to have a complete clearout of this squad. The spirit (or lack of) is toxic.

I wouldn't argue with that

I don't think anybody would be happy filling the squad with the type of players it takes to win promotion from the Championship. A bunch of cheap muckers and grinders, only to completely rebuild again in order to compete in the Prem.

Vicious circle.

no win in ten

that would get him the bullet at most clubs

Forget Garde - he's toast.

He'll be following Fox out the door in the summer. Two convenient scapegoats.

Agreed but its much more than the manager in this situation.

While I agree for the most part, he has brought nothing to the table. We haven't improved at all, and show no signs of building anything.

There is a scene in the Pinnochio film in which the puppet-who-would-be-boy joins a mob throwing bricks through church windows.  That is how being a Villa fan makes me feel at the moment.

[LTA]

Garde has been a disaster and deserved the abuse he got today, but the club's problems run much deeper than any manager.

[ozzjim]

Sherwood got the boy foot essentially the same set of results. He looked bemused today. I think he thinks the squad if complete rubbish and is resigned to having to completely rebuild it. Whether he gets chance remains to be seen.

[David_Nab]

Slightly concerning Garde's management style , clearly the team need direction...

But would be just our luck we get another boss who doesn't know WTF he is doing...

[passport1]

He looks like a man that may well walk of his own accord to me.

[themossman]

You know what I'm fed up to the back teeth with bollocks about dressing rooms being lost. Play for yourselves you useless overpaid bunch of wankers. For your kids, for your self respect, your next contract. Why do these grown men need to be 'inspired' by someone to do a half decent job of the only thing on earth they are any good at? Another manager will make no difference to anything. We'll have the same thick as shit, limp wristed excuse-making squad of no hopers. Fuck the lot of them.

A message to Aston Villa:
"We know that some of you look at these threads so pass the message on to those that don't. We the supporters don't care if you have a beef with the manager or you don't like the training methods or you wish to be somewhere else. You are living our dream, to be paid huge incomes to play football for the team we love. Villa is our passion and when we see you lot just going through the motions seemingly without any desire to represent the shirt it really pisses us off. This is the same squad, less two, that took it to the top teams in the premiership last year so there is no excuse for the dismal displays we've been watching over the last few weeks. Next time you run onto the Villa Park pitch have a look around the ground. Every single Villa supporter wishes he or she was you, you are our players. The very least we expect is a total committment to the club and its supporters." (c) ROBBO on H&V December 2010 with a couple of minor tweaks.
