Remi Garde - Departs Aston Villa

[PeterWithesShin]

We've lost 3 of our last 9 games. At the same time we've only won 1, but there is a definite improvement even if it isn't as big as we'd like, or we need to stay up.

Worth bearing in mind that when Sir Brian replaced Atkinson in 94 after 8 league defeats in 9, he only won 1 of his first 9 and things were not quite as bleak at they are this season. Only just stayed up that season.

I like the way Garde is going about things. He is giving me some hope of better times even if it's not in this league.

I like Garde and it appears that the club are trying to put the right sort of structures in place so there is some cause for hoping that things are going to improve. Then you remember our unerring ability to fuck things up over recent years and that optimism is tempered. I am agnostic at present.

don't - it's not good for your health. People just get uglier and you have no sense of time

Hahaha! Why thank you. Very good advice.

I don't think he's done nearly enough as a Villa manager for the fans to be waxing so lyrical just yet.

Me neither.  As I said.  Talks the talk, but yet to walk the walk.

Jury is still out as to whether to keep him if we manage to stop up.  Definitely get rid if we go down in think though.

Why?

And replace him with who?

[LTA]

One win in 12 games? Hardly a glowing review is it?

The Championship will need a battler and someone who knows the league.  Not convinced Garde ticks either box

Eh? The manager who puts together the most amazing escape from relegation, probably ever and the jury would be out as to whether we keep him?

We're not staying up, but what possible argument would you have for removing him if we did?

Christ if he keeps this lot up I'd sign the entire club over to him and make him chairman as well.

Like Karanka, Neil, Jokanovic, Clement...

That sort of bruising Championship expert?

Sherwood kept us up against the odds last season.  Ok not from as bleak a position, but ultimately he wouldn't have kept us up this season.

Seen little evidence so far to suggest Garde would be any different.

And you can't see any distinction between being 18th in the table and in the bottom three on goal-difference (the position Sherwood found us in) and being ten points adrift of 17th (the deficit that Garde would have to make up which you would still potentially want to sack him for)?
