Remi Garde - Departs Aston Villa

[Bad English]

Maybe he just needs the money. It's the only thing that would keep me there in his position.

[wittonwarrior]

I dont  think he is the right answer moving forward - this whole obsession with the French players just doesn't  tie up with the grit and determination we  need.

I feel sorry for him on the basis that he was obviously in the dark as to just how bad we actually are.

Expect him to wave an Au Revoir before the end of the season.

The French players don't have any less grit than the English players though. None of them have any grit.

[dave shelley]

If he walks, I can see our lot appointing someone like Steve Evans!  I wouldn't put it past them.

Exactly, they can just pass a ball a little bit better, when it comes to grit and determination they fold just as easily, no more no less.

I don't think Garde could have any complaints if he was fired in the next couple of days, I was a big supporter of getting him in btw.

I'm not denying he had a very difficult job when he came in but today was probably the most shameful Villa display in 25 -30 years.

They could just as easily appoint Chris Evans

When it boils down to it I would much rather have had allardyce.

[oswald funkletrumpet]

i do have some sympathy for garde but he and every player was gutless today

and yes poor him picking up more in wages in a couple of weeks than i do in a year

my heart bleeds

So we should recruit German or Italian players going forward? I can see that. Decent shout.

You are not suggesting that British or Irish players have more grit are you? Because that is demonstrably untrue.

[peter w]

Have to say I think today's performance doesn't reflect well on Garde at all.

[sickbeggar]

We're actually WORSE now than under Sherwood. I accept the shit players are not his fault but he's got nothing out of them. I could put up with being beaten every game for the rest of this season if we at least appear to be trying. That's not an unreasonable expectation is i,t even by our rock bottom standards. Even managing to organise a defence so they don't concede with the opposition's first attack is something even the poorest teams can manage. That's not an unreasonable expectation either in my book. You can be a desperately poor team and still tackle/mark/pass to each other - these skills are not the preserve of the Messi's of this world!! Either he's not teaching the utter basics of coaching or he is and has completely lost the players. Either way he's got to go.

[Ron Manager]

If Mr Garde does decide he has had enough I think we should appoint Paul Scholes who would be a different type of manager to Remi Garde.

I think he may have lost the players and I would rather keep him than them,

[peter w]

I'm coming round to thinking that the total clear out should include the manager.
