Remi Garde - Departs Aston Villa

[PaulWinch again]

I like Remi and the malaise at this club goes way deeper, I want him to remain in charge.

[mr underhill]

I wouldn't blame him whatsoever if he jumps ship - commentating on the PL for Canal, or wrestling with the toxicity that is currently Aston Villa. It's a no brainer for me.

Yes Woofles but the significant point if I may make it is that Joe did not want to sell Stan Crowther.  I met Joe several times and he told me so.  It was all part of the outpouring of sympathy for Manchester United and that the Football League should rally round them.  There were plenty, myself included for voicing the opinion that the same generosity would not have been extended to an equally damaged but less high media profile club.

Stan Crowther had been sold before Joe Mercer was appointed.

I must admit I thought Eric Houghton sold him. Didnt Stan say something like "I havent got my boots with me" when Eric offered to drive him up there. Houghton said "Ive put them in the boot" That more or less sealed it.

Reading some of the above re Stan Crowther's departure to Manure reminded me of a lad I used to work with who, when the topic of Manure came up always used to say,"sad that they lost half a football team in a plane crash but the rest of the football world has been paying for it ever since".  Not as politely put as that.  I don't think he liked them.

Wouldn't surprise me one iota if he walked away. That toe curling abuse he got yesterday after the game was way out of order. Who really needs that in their life?

[Chico Hamilton III]

The more I see us play under him the more I'm convinced he's the wrong man.

If Garde walked away it'd be a nightmare. Sid till the end of the season type situation. No one half decent would touch us with a barge pole.

Problem being that line could have been used at any time in the last 5 years. Which suggests changing again will be unlikely to make any discernible difference.

If he did walk any interest on here in Gary Rowett?

I think he's done a great job over there and he's a Villa fan

At this moment in time, no chance. Once he's managed elsewhere and been de-loused then maybe, just maybe.

Pearson would have been offering our fans out for a fight today.

Pearson would probably have won the game.

Why's that then? Last year his Leicester side lost in the other cup at home to Shrewsbury.

What on earth has that game got to do with the game yesterday??

As much as suggesting that Pearson being in charge would magically make us start winning matches when he has spent nearly a decade being a pretty shit football manager.

I didn't say anything of the sort. Try reading what people write before you start a debate with them.

I wouldn't blame him whatsoever if he jumps ship - commentating on the PL for Canal, or wrestling with the toxicity that is currently Aston Villa. It's a no brainer for me.

Living in done lovely part of rural France or trying to manage this lot. Hmmm. Tough call. I think he is mad to stay.

I'm sure it would be Pearson until the end of the season......
I want Remi to stay and rebuild the whole fucking shambles.

I just don't get it - in that he has not walked back across the channel yet.  Everything is wrong for him, crap club at moment, a grey mark on his CV and all the hassle and stress - why would anyone want that.

It turned out well last time we tried that.
