Remi Garde - Departs Aston Villa

[spangley1812]

Pearson is a total cock. Don't want him anywhere near our club.

Cock or not he's a good manager.

Is he?  What has he done other than get Leicester promoted with a lot of financial backing and kept them up last season after nearly getting them relegated.

Being aggressive and shouting a lot does not equate to being a good manager.

Look @ Leicester now...........Its 75/80% his team they have carried on from where they left off last season with a couple of notable tweaks i.e
Kante,etc

Leicester have been consistently superb for the last 13/14 months and jolly good luck to them in their bid for the title. Anything that shoves a sharp stick up the collective arses of  the Sky Big Four  is fine by me. Plus I like Tinkerman.

Pearson appears to be competent enough at managing in a few ways. Prize psycho though, and a bit of a fossil. Ranieri obviously won't get the credit he should from the punditocracy because he's not one of the boys, but he's made them a lot better than Pearson could have, in my opinion.

The trouble with Pearson is that he starts to get it right and then loses the plot.

What the fuck is Morley talking about. Garde wouldn't know how to get us out of the championship ? It's just football but at a lower level..Never read such crap. He implies the likes of wenger, Ferguson, guardiola couldn't manage at championship level...Total and utter rubbish. And he gets paid to write that rubbish . unbelievable.  The world's gone mad.

Yes look at the 3 managers who got their teams out of the championship last season they were seasoned with millions of years of experience of getting teams out of that League......... A prized c***.

And yet the people who watched him work closest i.e. the Leicester management chose to sack him regardless of him having kept them up. I doubt that they did it for no good reason.

He was sacked for "non footballing reasons" involving his son and an incident on a tour abroad

I think Pearson was probably destined to go the way of Sherwood this season. That run in last season was great but Ranieri has offered a refinement that Pearson would not have been capable of.

No he isn't.

I don't buy this mystical vision peddled by the British media that thou must have a team of seasoned Championship players led by a British manager off the same old carousel of dross.

Id trust Garde to smartly engineer a way out of the league without signing a team of Lee Cattermole's thanks very much.

[old man villa fan]

If Remi Garde stays, do people think that he will not prepare for next season by analysing match stats/data/TV recordings of Championship games from this season.  The days of a manager having to attend matches to view the opposition or players have long gone.

[Toronto Villa]

It must have been really difficult to be dropped into the disaster that was our season. I have no doubt that if he stays he will be meticulous in how he prepares for next season irrespective of what division we are in.

You don't have to be any type of manager to get promoted from the Championship. The standard down there is pretty average when you consider the level of player that make a good living that we know can't cut it in the PL. Most Championship sides might have 1 or 2 true PL standard players, but mainly decent pros. The established PL sides by comparison have mostly that level of player and better. That's why we have struggled because we don't have enough PL standard players and none beyond that.

If we do go down we simply must give Garde the tools to do his job and he will be able to get us promoted by having existing players play to their proper level and elevating those that require it. The task will be challenging but in no way insurmountable.

Agree it's a load of cliched nonsense.

Norwich are basically a Championship team and we beat them reasonably comfortably yesterday with an injury/suspension weakened team. Garde seemed to be in control of things, I was a bit worried he left his first sub till 90th minute. I would have put fresh legs on up front when we went 2-0 up to take advantage of Norwich pushing forward and leaving gaps at the back. It would have given more chance of an "out ball" to relieve the pressure.

Of course it is. So by this law former great managers over the years could not manage a club and have success in the lower leagues. What a load of old twaddle.

If we can keep Remi and we can add a few fresh faces we will coast next season easily if we go down.
