Remi Garde - Departs Aston Villa

[brontebilly]

Honestly that interview is fucking shocking.

Going down is bad enough, but it is almost easier to take if it was just down to them being shit. Not trying, not being committed to the point where the manager admits it publicly, just makes a shit situation so much worse.

To be honest, that interview is a shocking indictment of Garde's management abilities too.

He is throwing the player under a bus, fuck knows most of them deserve it.

But managers are supposed to manage, he must have no credibility in the dressing room at all.

Same for Sherwood, Lambert, McLeish. We all know this runs a lot deeper than the manager.

I think we are so close to rock bottom that what any manager can achieve with the rabble that our squad has become is secondary to our proper presentation of ourselves as the honourable and historic club we are.

With that in mind are our board and owner so stupid (don't all shout at once) to allow Pearson or Redknapp or McClaren or Pulis or Lennon  of any other deranged/racist/thick/geezer to be the face of Aston Villa?

Footballing results apart at least we have in Remi Garde a manager not to be ashamed of.  Truth be told looking at the owner, the players and the board he is too good for us.  If he goes and we get some wannabee cap doffing arse licking media grovelling thicko in his place and we win some games in the second tier, I shall not be watching it.

[eddiemunster]

Is this why some of Lamberts coaching staff were got rid of, for presumably bullying the overpaid, overweening, useless assholes in our first team squad?

[brian green]

I don't think so, more for bullying the graduate of our youth scheme who will be playing in the Champions League next season.

I completely disagree. He can't help but be honest. He has integrity. If I'm a player, I want to play for a guy like that. He'd reward and respect effort and good faith. I really hope he stays on and successfully evicts those players pulling the club down. He's exactly what the club needs and needs to be backed.

Whoever Garde believes is sauntering around and not putting in any commitment and effort should be removed from the first team squad with immediate effect. We aren't staying up so it's time to put to an end this attitude and keep it away from the players that do care. Complacency and laziness rubs off on to others. We have to start taking this seriously and there has to be serious consequences to poor attitudes and disruption.

I can take getting beaten I can't take getting beaten because no one gives a shit.

[eddiemunster]

Assuming that the ones who aren't trying, are not out of contract, then how do you make them play? We only have to look at the N'Zog situation to see the players have the club by the short airs and not the other way round, and so the "non triers" will be "Non performing" as AVFC next season and so on, until we sell them or pay them off.

[aj2k77]

You don't make them play, they're shit anyway so why are we wanting to play players that are showing complete disregard and contempt for the club we love?

Because we have very few other options. Most of them fall into this category.

The 'play the whole youth team' idea will just result in destroying the confidence of any talent we do have.

I disagree. I can't think of anything more soul destroying then playing with players who are half hearted, supposedly talk about you behind your back, show no team spirit and get beaten most weeks.

I'm talking about destroying the youth players. Putting them in en-masse will mean we get thumped 5 or 6 nil every week and will destroy their confidence.

It wouldn't need to be en masse. With Traore back sooner than later and Ayew back next week. It's not a good team but we aren't a good team anyway.

[aj2k77]

This is just my guess going on comments and certain players being dropped but Guzan, Richards, Lescott, Westwood, Bacuna and Gabby seem to be the players that get spoken about and dropped more than the others and as such are possibly the trouble makers. Are we that much of a worse side without shite like that in it?

[sid1964]

this situation with the players not caring or putting in effort has been going on for years, and yet, some of these players have been rewarded with new contracts....

The not caring or putting in effort was stated by Roy Keane

You only have to look at the attitude from them off the pitch, after the Cup Final, going out to a nightclub with Arsenal players, Gabby after Arsenal beat us this season at home, went down to London to have a night out with them!, it is the quickest he has moved this season... no vertigo then!

For me they have given up, they are hoping that Garde gets the sack, because when ever anyone tells them the truth (Houllier / Keane / Garde etc..) they don't like it, they are like spoilt rich kids

The thing is they are all prepared to take a pay cut / get relegated just to get rid of Garde!

Just watch the reaction of them when the final whistle goes in the game we are finally relegated, no doubt they will all fall on to the turf, trying to give the impression that they have given everything (us as fans will now the truth)

i hope that no one applauds them for there efforts this season!
