Remi Garde - Departs Aston Villa

[Chico Hamilton III]

He probably feels there's no point in him being here. He's answering for other peoples mistakes and questions on things he has no control over. He's got to get us scoring with the carthorse brothers up front and a midfield that creates more goals for the opposition than they do for us. He's seen the squad now, knows it's mostly guff from top to bottom and he's on a hiding to nothing. He'll walk in June and we will appoint some twat head hunted by Fuck face Fox to perform a miracle on pennies and face the flak those c***s should be facing every day.

I have this recurring nightmare where we get relegated and end up with that fat loud-mouth who manages Leeds as our new manager. What's his name?

[aj2k77]

Might as well be Dave Bassett. You're right, when a club starts losing credibility then next step is appointing journey man managers who will take any old shit just for a gig.

The only way was to have a strong manager who'd make the 'management team' see sense.   No wonder Moyes wouldn't touch us with a barge pole.

What a fucking shambles.  I'm not convinced by him yet, but the board have fucking shafted him.

There's another nine-and-a-half hours to go yet. We might get three top class strikers in yet. Ooh, where are my meds....?

[aj2k77]

We could pull of a Simon Dawkins type, no one's ever heard of him quick check Wiki to see if he is a joke or really exists, type of loan.

That's exactly my take on things. He doesn't deserve to have to sit in front of the media every week and explain why the board are so totally, absolutely fucking clueless. In fact, I'd love it (I'd love it, right) if he resigned, live in a press conference and signed off with a tirade against our bed wetter of an owner. What a way to go

[Billy Walker]

Another manager - and thoroughly decent guy - left hanging out to dry by Lerner and Co.

Garde is basically saying, i came here and within a couple of weeks i told the board what i needed. I left it up to them, and now here we are, and they haven't got me anybody. There's nothing more i can do.
I wouldn't be surprised if he walks either.

[aj2k77]

Yep it's bullshit. In the entire world, we have been unable to locate a midfielder better than the sign post that is Westwood, who doesn't want 60k a week and thinks a Premier League club is beneath him. It's pap.

[ozzjim]

We are such a state even Newcastle fans are laughing at us.

Does that mean they've stopped crying over us now?

Not down to Garde, but when was the last time we had a midfield player that actually chipped in with double figures for a season, central defenders and the full backs chipping in with 10 between them. For the last 3 years we relied on Benteke pure and simple, we have not gone from being a free scoring team to drought conditions on the goal scoring front, this problem has not been addressed for years, we have had the fall back card that Gabby would come in and score a few important ones, but again what is his record over the last 4 seasons, I am sure it makes dreadful reading.
Plenty of signs there, but they needed to be in brail for anyone at Villa to read them.

Milner, Young, Downing - might have got into double figures.

If we're talking league goals, it's Platt, 25 years ago.

Which just goes to show that to have a decent team you need goals from all over the pitch - not rely on one or two as we have doen for the past 5 years.

I'm still convinced the midfield is the major weakness in the current team.  As a group they neither defend or create effectively.

Or he could have had funds if our position improved from when he took over...it hasn't so maybe they are just resinged to going down.
