Remi Garde - Departs Aston Villa

[ciggiesnbeer]

My god do we need Garde to turn out to be the second coming of Taylor. There is so much work to be done in the summer. The squad is rotten throughout.

There was so much work to be done this window and yet the board decided otherwise. I have zero confidence they will back Garde in the summer either.

Still think he's brilliant do we?

No one said brilliant but he is the best we can have in our situation.

No that's it people have said he's shown enough to demonstrate he's trying to fix the club beyond the short term, but he needs support from the board to do that.

They won't back him with money, they will back him with talk of stability, processes being put in place and 5 year plans. Cheap words, we need actions.

Awful but sounds right. What a state.

I understand all the shit team, shit transfer window, shit board, shit owner comments on here but Garde is surely not above criticism? And as for him walking in the summer, I'm not sure which club would take him. Today's result was shit.

No one said he's brilliant, people have said he needs time. Today just illustrates how weak our squad is. We needed to rest players and we can't compete. Also try to contain your delight in Villa losing.

no doubt the squad is weak but giving that City side a decent game of it today is hardly too much to ask for.

the side looked a disorganised demotivated rabble today, we dont look as if we can even get a shot on target never mind scoring a goal

getting shot of the likes of Richards and Flabby is an immediate priority for Garde imo, their appalling lack of professionalism is weakening his authority in the dressing room if the collective "effort" in the second half is anything to go by. He needs to bring in a captain asap

thought bringing on Grealish when 4-0 down with 10 mins ago was a touch vindictive too, he needs to get him back onside as a priority

I can hear your celebrations of the result today from here

Has anybody said he is brilliant?

I'm a fan of Garde. Mostly based on him talking the talk but I can't deny that the results on the whole have been shit and there have been some seriously shambolic performances, today probably the 4th or 5th under him. I honestly don't think he can turn this group of players around, that's why he needs money and a serious overhaul during the summer of the squad.

It should have started now.

Malc, in the nicest possible way - if you're going to use your rare posts to insult people, please go back to just reading.

He's clearly utterly wrong, but insulting him isn't going to help anything.

I understand what you are saying Dave and fully agree with you but the guy winds up even the most passive of posters.  I was going to comment myself but then thought why the f*** should I bother.

We're all in agreement on his actual point, but people should be allowed to post on here without being called 'knobheads', in spite of how objectionable their posts might seem to be.
