Remi Garde - Departs Aston Villa

[Matt C]

When I first saw the reports of him reconsidering his position I assumed they were being blown out of all proportion but reading RG's quotes it's clear they are far from it. Difficult to envisage him being at the club beyond the summer, if he even lasts much longer.

Just when I think this lot can't get any shitter they go and surprise me - it's their one talent.

He is relatively new in terms of being a manager, so I'm pretty sure he can't afford to tarnish his reputation too badly at this point.  This has given him a legitimate excuse to jump ship and I think a heavy defeat tomorrow might make his mind up for him.

I don't see how it will tarnish his reputation.

The world and his wife think we are a basket case of a club.

Relegation and possible struggle in the Championship would definitely tarnish his reputation.

We are at a really bad stage now because no matter what the board says no one will take them for their words. They will have zero credibility with the support after this seasons fiasco and some very ill judged comments. Hollis will be branded with their incompetence before he's really started.

The night before the City game I watched Villa Newcastle from 07/08 I think. 0-1 at half-time. 4-1 full-time. Bouma, Larrson, Mellberg, Petrov,Barry, Carew,Young, Maloney etc.

These are sad days indeed.

What an extraordinary collapse.

In his position I would walk now, we may not win another game this season and what few decent players we have will be gone in the summer. There is no blame attached to him in fact he has steadied the ship over the last few weeks but with no new players coming in I can see things deteriorating rapidly.

[Smirker]

He's now the favourite to be the next Premier League manager to leave his post.

How the fuck have we got to this?

Start with a dose of recklessness then stir in a dash of panic.
Add a good portion of stupidity and a heaped spoonful of blind hope.
Mix vigorously and blend in a measure of desperation garnished with a clutch of straws.
Finish with a pinch of decency then throw the whole lot on the floor and shit on it from a great height.

Nicely put.

Tom Ross has just put on Twitter I wonder if Remi Garde has the same job he was interviewed for.

The new Chairman coming in has clearly changed something. The pointed references to the board through the month on money topics and that they should answer. I won't hold my breathe for Fox (who must be thicker than 2 short planks to not realise all the shit he spouts about shirts and commercial improvements will be gone next season) or Hollis to come out and speak tomorrow about the complete failure of the window.

Grades words and demeanour told you everything, he looked like a man who had just been shit on from a great height.

Steve Harrison strikes again!

Dressing room jolly japes.

[ZhongYi]

bookies got him at a staggering 1/1 to be on his way that is a cock up that even a Leeds United or a Portsmouth couldnt probably outdo. The AV board needs lynching.
