The fans of the Cleveland Browns did warn us back in 2007. And they were right

How did they know about Remi Garde?

[ozzjim]

Me too. Good coach, right attitude but something had clearly gone to fuck this week because his hard work in the last 6 had just gone.  Might add well go now as in the summer.

[GarTomas]

I hope he sticks around. He's actually the right kind of long term appointment we need. IMO.

He has to take a share of the shit pie for today's disgrace

Apart from he didn't sign any of them and I very much doubt he trained them all weak to be inept defensively and have players actively hiding so much the commentators went into a long speech about how they could see them hiding.

[Risso]

i think he's the wrong coach at the wrong time.  Probably exactly the sort of bloke you need to take a lower Premier League team to mid-table and above, but not in the position we're in.

[django]

I'd agree with that Risso.

Come May he'll have been in charge for 3/4 of the season. He'll be accountable for results during that period.

As a result, he's toast.

Yet not one of those players did he bring in, he may well be toast but I do not hold him responsible.

[PeterWithesShin]

Yeah it's his fault we don't have a striker worthy of the name at the club. And the few supposed strikers we do have are injured. We finished today with Sinclair the closest thing to a striker at the club. Pep Guardiola would struggle with that.

I hold him responsible for not being good enough to effect a change.

We were down before he came; but we haven't even made a fist of it since he's been here.

I obviously don't know / see what he says in training, but fcuk me - continually playing Bacuna, Westwood, Richards hasn't done him any favours thats for sure.

Did you see our bench today, who else is there? Chuck some kids into this? Play Hutton instead of Richards? I'm sure Garde would love to be able to play someone else instead of them but this is the squad he inherited.

The staggering failure to spend a single penny in the January transfer window was the point at which the club accepted things like this would happen.

To not have brought in a single player, not even a loan, was the ultimate "fuck you" to the fans, and a similar "fuck you" to the manager.

I hear people lament players like Bacuna and Westwood and wonder how they get a game, but surely a large part of that is that we have nothing better.

January was the chance to fix that. We opted not to even try.

The club is a laughing stock, an embarrassment - there is genuinely not one single thing to be positive about, nothing.

[Eigentor]

He might not be the perfect fit at the current time, but I struggle to see the board appointing someone better if he walks.

I hope he stays, today notwithstanding.
