Remi Garde - Departs Aston Villa

[VillaAlways]

Feel a bit better after seeing the post match interview on BBC Sport. He was very positive about the team and didn't come across as a man about to quit. I am hoping that Remi was just pissed off with the nature of the questions immediately post match.

He has a real dignity about him.

I agree, I think he's made his point to the board in a very clear and mature way. Knowing the way Lerner reacts though, I bet he'll be planning to chop him.

I think it could be a mistake to analyse his comments too closely. He is clearly frustrated but to draw any wider conclusions would is difficult. Although his English is good, it is not perfect; he does occasionally get his tenses confused and sometimes uses the wrong word.

That is not to say he is not considering his future, he might be, but as things stand the only definitive statement we have is the one where he said he wanted to be here even if we are relegated.

Again, trying to look at it logically, and also with a large amount of wishful thinking, if he leaves today he's that funny little French bloke that Villa sacked after one win in thirteen - another Christian Gross. In twelve months he's that manager who turned us round - Arsenal will be after him when Wenger finally retires.

Or more likely, he disappears just after Christmas with us floating aimlessly in mid table after an underwhelming transfer window.

Yes, I really need to up my dosage of happy pills.

I have stated many times that I am still not totally convinced by Remi, but there has been signs of improvement and the effort is there to be seen, he also handles himself in direct contrast to the cockney rent a gob. I also appreciate what a dire squad he has taken over so in more ways than not I hope you are right Dave and I do think to go now would have just as much effect on him short term as on us short to medium.
I think what it will come down to is not the fact that no one was signed this week, that could br down to a million different reasons, but if he believes that reason was that the powers that be did not put in the required effort to at least try and get things over the line and that they were only paying him lip service, or that the fact they are incompetent, the visa issue is a worry there, if for any of those reasons I think he will be on the Euro star after the Arsenal game and not returning.

I hope he does stay, for his own sake as much as anything. He deserves some better times with us. He has had layer after layer of unending misery since he arrived and it would be nice to see him on the pitch with his arms aloft in 15 month's time having secured promotion.

Quite right, Hollis and Fox (why do I get a mental picture of Laurel and Hardy) must come out with a proper statement,

I imagine the next statement we will hear from the board is “Tickets will be kept at Premier League prices for the 2016/17 season so our loyal fans can assist us in our fight for promotion.”

Please. Don't give those idiots any ideas.
They appear not to have any of their own.
Apart from shirt sales.
