I hope he goes. He doesn't deserve this and it will put more spot light on the owner.
Christ, no. I hope his reaction is a catalyst for the board to wake the fuck up and move heaven and earth to get the players he wants in during the summer. Right now though, I have absolutely no faith in them to do anything other than gormlessly muddle their way along as they are in the hope that it will all work itself out on its own, somehow.

I think 'considering his future' stories are based purely on his body language from his press conference, I doubt there is anything concrete in it..... I for one would not blame him in the slightest for thinking fuck this though.

They said it was breaking news just before 11pm.

Yeah, but they would do, wouldn't they?

It's a rehash of the press conference quotes from earlier in the day, spun by the express into a "considering his options" piece.

The reports in the papers are saying through a friend he has made it known he is unhappy.The guy who went to Sunderland was set to sign but we pulled out of the deal , looks like we also pulled out of the deals for Debuachy over funds

Board have no clue with 15 games left they have left the manager and players hung out to dry .. how is Garde supposed to lift what is already a squad lacking talent with no help from above.I just fear a total breakdown and us taking hammerings for the rest of the season.

That opportunity has gone as we will now need to cut our cloth accordingly and sign lesser players than the ones Remi wanted during this window. Second rate players for a soon to become a second rate club.

Yes, it looks like all of the newspapers are just rehashing his earlier quotes, adding in the fact that we haven't bought anybody, and come up with the fact that he's considering his future.  Which to be honest, he'd be mental not to.  I have one rule in my professional life that's served me quite well: don't work for idiots.  Garde should tell them to shove it.

Had they paid the money for Khazi and Sane the striker may have come.  As Garde said early in the window once one comes other players follow.

The talk was about selling the club to get players to come to the club.

Lerner now needs to quickly sell the club to Remi and the fans, otherwise Fox will be the last out turning off the lights.

One or two rumours that he's resigned.

Can anyone find the statement we made on the evening Remi was appointed. It was chest thumping on the theme of we might be bottom and you may all be laughing at us but we'll have the last laugh in January and at the end of the season, Krulak may well have written it.

Well here we are in January and we have done fcuk all and everyone is still laughing at us.

I would not blame Remi at all if he walks, we are down now so we have 4 months of just fulfilling our fixtures so hopefully the ire can be directed at the board.

Feel sorry for Remi. The only person left at the club that I have a modicum of respect for.
Right royally shafted by the board during this window. If they'd have shown a bit of bottle at the start of the window, and got a striker in, we'd have had at least have a fighting chance.
I'd walk if I was in his shoes, and if he does, we should fill Villa Park on Saturday and give it to those mutha fuckers sat in the boardroom with both barrels! They're the ones that need to be brought to the media's attention, NOT the French contingent of players who have carried most of the can for their ineptitude.
Should have guessed this would happen when the first words out of that new Lerner mouthpiece were 'We don't fear relegation'. FFS!
