Remi Garde - Departs Aston Villa

[LeeB]

Bottom line is we're stuck with the majority of these players. He can't motivate them in any shape or form. With that scenario the manager goes - as true with Garde as it is with Mourinho

Why? Because someone needs to be sacrificed to appease the football gods?

no, because if you can't motivate players and they're don't want you there, then you can't manage

He can't motivate them beyond their inherent shitness, so what? Who could? Paul McKenna?

Why sack him then? He seems to have realised quicker than most who is genuinely shit, so let him change everything in the summer and let's get the fuck on with sorting this godforsaken clusterfuck out.

Any new manager runs this serious risk of giving some of these arseholes another chance.

yeah because selling 30 odd players who don't want to play for him is gonna happen. Apart from the inherent problem of clubs shying away from players who've spent the last season being butfucked by all and sundry every saturday, we have the problem of buying replacements. Like it or not the majority of these players who don't seem to want to lift a finger for the current manager will be here come August

It isn't about "30 odd players" though, is it?

well whom is currently looking like he'd die for the cause?  None of them imo. The last relegation was the same. Didn't stop a large proportion of those players mounting a promotion the next under a manager who could motivate them?

He's not getting much of a tune from them though is he. Today was appalling. Add it to Norwich, Sunderland, Man City. I like him but if the season completely implodes in to heavy defeats then his position is untenable.

[pauliewalnuts]

Looking like you die for a cause (and I don't think I've seen a single player look like that in the last thirty years) and being good enough to do a job for us are not the same thing, though.

Although not Norwich last week, though, obviously.

No, but let's be honest, they had more than a few guilt edged chances to score. They didn't because they're almost as shit as us but an average team would have bagged a couple of the sitters.

Agreed and you can hardly blame him. We are a shambles and I don't believe things will change much next season unless there is a radical shift in mentality starting with Lerner and the board.

They aren't going to grow  a brain over night though, the longer they are here the more damage will be done. We will not get promoted with his lackeys running the show. Who on earth will be the next appointment? I dread to think who's going to be feeding us shit next season.

They don't even appear interested half of them. I agree we have the squad with the right additions and letting go of the bad apples to mount a challenge next season. I don't think its with garde though. They don't seem to believe in him and after this awful season it will take a lot for them to start.

[Can Gana Be Bettered!?!?]

Whoever is in charge needs to get rid of everyone and buy a team of good Championship/Div 1 players who are used to winning, especially at home.

We're so used to losing that we need to completely overhaul and get a group in who have not been part of the big load is cack of the last however many years.

It's strange if that is the case as I find his interviews typically erudite and invariably 'on the button', basically someone I would want to work for.  I wonder what happens on the training pitch that would put the players off.

I like him. He never brings on the rage that Lambert and others did in his interviews.. Maybe that's the problem - he wouldn't scare the crap out of me if i was a player taking the piss and really if  a club ever needed a firm hand at the wheel its us currently
