Remi Garde - Departs Aston Villa

[curiousorange]

One thing that hasn't been mentioned is that if Remi goes, his backroom staff are likely to go too. I think we've looked like we have more stamina, so having Duverne back is probably paying off.

On a slightly related note, we're bookies' favourite for the Championship title next season. Let's wait and see what this week holds first.

I think it's obvious how much fitter we are. I would like to see our running stays in the last few games

Isn't that them stating we are down for sure and can't as yet fill the other two places? We would then most likely be third favourites?

We're probably currently the only team guaranteed to be playing at that level next season.

and we know we will be top of the table until early August

Remi comes from French football where the manager is involved with the team and does not have to face up to the media and comment on the running of the club

French managers are interviewed just as much, if not more than Premier League managers. There is a programme called the Petit Journal which has a regular slot taking thé piss out of some of the L1 gaffers' interviews. So Garde will be used to speaking to the media.

From the limited exposure we get over here, it appears the club owners/presidents talk about the running of the club, buying players etc. but I go with your local knowledge.

Remi Garde looks as though he can handle the media interviews quite easily but, as I have said elsewhere, I think he believes that it's not his position to talk about finance and the strategy of expenditure.

[Tony Erdington]

I know one thing,

Remi will now have the vast majority of fans on side against Norwich, so although lerner is a cock, he has made sure the fans will be pro Garde as we all feel Remi has been stiffed. (not bad considering how many games his lost)

McGrath I'm even ready to chant

Remi Gardes Claret and Blue Army.

What grates with me is the fact that we were no worse  under Sherwood than we are under Remi Garde however a lot of excuses are being provided in favour of the Frenchman.

Its not Sherwood's fault that the likes of Benteke, Delph and not forgetting Cleverly wanted away. 

Both have suffered from a lot of interference in who they can bring in. 

All I would say is don't judge one so harshly and the other with kid gloves.

Are you being serious.

Sherwood hadn't prepared the players for the season, hadn't got a clue how to set the team up and drained the players of any confidence.  Can't you see how Garde has started rebuilding confidence and getting them playing as a team.  Garde has had to come in and make best use of the players Sherwood put together and had no opportunity to plug the weaknesses in the team.

It was also Sherwood presumably that chose Gestede as his replacement for Benteke, given that his bitching towards the end was almost exclusively aimed at the players recruited from France.

Sherwood had the entire pre-season with these players and got them starting the season looking as fit as your average pub team. What's more, it turns out one of the reasons a few of the foreign players were struggling to integrate was that Tim opted not to speak to them.

Its all about opinions.  Sherwood  had his  hands tied as well with regards to transfers.  With the players I mentioned in my post before, he had us playing towards the end of last season and apart from the final we had our Villa back.  Forget Southampton and  Burnley games just before the cup final - remember we beat Ipswich 6-1 the week  before they  beat Arsenal  in 78.

Garde has to date overseen two very bad  4-0 defeats.  I am not saying Garde is such a bad manger but neither was Sherwood.

[Edvard Remberg]

Love how the Mirror/Mail put the headline that Villa are searching for replacement, due to RG not commenting on matters after a frustrating night - as it was fact. Pure click bait.

Oh yes he was.

He didn't gave his hands tied with regards transfers as all his pronouncements at the time were full of praise for who he'd bought in. If was only when it went pear shaped and he'd overseen about 7 straight defeats that he started whining about the transfer committee and throwing the team under the bus.
