Remi Garde - Departs Aston Villa

[Ron Manager]

I would not be surprised if Remi Garde decides to call it a day soon. He is not getting the results and I suspect the powers that be are not going to back him with needed finance to improve the club. The players he wants out have no intention of going anywhere with the contracts they are on. Much as I like the bloke I would have expected a few more points by now. But if he is getting no backing what chance does he have?  He has no chance at all.

If he goes we are truly fucked and the rest of the season will melt down in to civil war.

Read this site daily but rarely post. However, could not help my need to express that LTA is by far the biggest knobhead I've ever read on here. This includes sundry Bluenoses, Smethwick fans and red scousers over the years.

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.

Still think he's brilliant do we?

Is this a transfer clue? Are we after Müller?

I have a feeling (and it is only a feeling) that Garde is no quitter and will be here a while yet.

Did you really just say we will melt down in to civil war?

Agreed. The way to deal with LTA is to just amuse oneself with his posts - they really are quite funny. Then when you stop laughing, get back to the serious debate

Possibly the right manager at the wrong time if that makes one iota of sense.  I think he will walk personally obviously sold a good story to bring  me to The Villa. 

You can't just use your fingers to dig a ditch.

I know it will not happen but the club should give it until we are absolutely certain to go down and make a strong statement of what they intend to do in the summer ready for next season.  The fans are getting p***** off with weak comments.  Even if it is something we may not like to hear, at least be honest so that the supporters understand the position.

It was 2 weeks ago that the Chairman and CEO made comments, not sure what more you expect.

[dave shelley]

I'm certainly not naive but it's inconceivable to me that he would walk so soon into his contract.  He strikes me as the type of bloke who has always seen the job as the challenge that it is.

If he turns this around, whatever division we're in, he will have enhanced his reputation no end and will know football for what it is, shallow.  Turn us into a proper competetive  football club with a strong organised footing and the real big boys will come calling.

Anyway, I'm off to the pub in a minute.

[claret and blue blood]

Watching the game today I said to my son that Garde must feel like a boxer fighting with one arm tied behind him, we played well until we had to defend or punch a way through their defence, I really hope he isn't a quitter and can (single handed) turn this car crash of a club around.
The board who are supposed to be backing him is the big problem he and we have, absolute disgrace in their non actions and platitudes , fucking Hollis is a Man City fan, how galling is that?

A start would be an honest summary of this transfer window.

[Fasth56]

Interesting facts tweeted by FatMan Brazil this morning, NUFC have spent £3.4M more than 18 Bundesliga sides combined
£2.19m more than all 20 Serie A sides combined, £19.61m more than 20 La Liga sides combined and £23.7m more than all 20 Ligue 1 sides combined. They have also spent £75M since the summer. They are knackered if they down.

[ciggiesnbeer]

According to Kendrick* Garde said he will stay till the end of the season regardless and still hopes to make a signing this window.

As Garde so far has been honest with what he says I take that as somewhat good news.
