Quote from: Pete on March 02, 2016, 11:04:10 AMFrom the Guardian match reportQuote“I’m not been here for a long time enough to assess the behaviour of everybody,” said Garde, when asked about the Villa supporters’ protest. “I respect the fans because they are totally part of the club but I have to respect as well my position and the people who put me in this position.“I concentrate my energy on what I am asked to do, which is to try to win games with this squad of players.”He's not a happy bunny. " the people who put me in this position." Is he referring to the board, the players, or the whole lot of them?They classic 'blame everyone else" line then?Sooner we see sense and boot Garde back down the channel tunnel the better.

On the other side are the new arrivals, many of them from France, including Jordan Ayew, Idrissa Gana and Jordan Veretout as well as Aly Cissokho. The latter group feel, with some justification, that they are being blamed for all the clubs problems. With the exception of Bunn, there's not a single one in that group I'd piss on if he were on fire. Not one.To be fair Hutton gives his all each game, its just he is a really poor footballerBunn has just been thrown into that group randomly, he isnt even second division standard lets be honest.these long serving players above can do one, they will be playing against us next term with the likes of Bristol City and Leeds

So, the 'wanker group' who pretty much got us into this mess, is upset becuse their boss doesn't bollock them?Eh?
Then start the cull.
Quote from: A Northern Soul on March 03, 2016, 11:29:17 PMIf Remi goes, and if Burnley don't go up, I would hope we would look at Dyche. Good track record at championship level, Burnley play decent football, he can spot a goal scorer, generally seems to bring players on and looks like he has the ability to impose himself and his will on the squad - without being a Pearson bully.Sad that we would ever need to consider this but he ticks more boxes than most.Totally agree.I had a conversation with a Burnley fan recently, apparently Dyche runs a very tight ship with his squad. You do it his way or you're shipped out. Immediately. He has a code of conduct governing the players interaction with fans, autograph requests, social media activity etc.Reckon we could do with this. He's numero uno for me.
