Jesus. Only just seen the conference. That was a car crash. Who is the PR guy and what does he think he's achieving? No wonder the journalists have no time for us.

For awhile I felt that one way or the other than Garde would be there next season.  But it does seem with our form just getting worse and the press relations at an all time low than I can see him leaving or being sacked at the end of the season.  I feel bad for him as he's been put in a bad spot and has handled himself very well in interviews, but it seems more and more likely that he will not be Villa manager next season.

Players that are clearly not good enough to play at this level will look to make excuses for this, rather than get thrown off the gravy train.
This piece is the first example of this, expect a flood of sympathetic pieces from their friends in the press if and when Remi departs.
A gaggle of fuckwits, the lot them.

I'm not sure gaggle is the correct collective noun for fuckwits.

A dribble or maybe a stain of fuckwits?

Genuine laugh out loud moment. Thank you.

Should have been a cluster of fuckwits, apologies, I was rushed.

I hope watching that performance from our 'head of communications' that he uses his communication skills very quickly to find a new job elsewhere as that was embarrassing and shows a lot of what is wrong within the club.

What did he do wrong? Garde don't want to answer that question. The press officer then asked for that question not be asked again, and it still was. He then saw that Garde was getting annoyed by it and ended the press conference. What exactly was he meant to do? He'd have been slaughtered had he left Garde out there having to answer that question or five minutes later another version of it.

By refusing to answer the question "Were you lied to?" Remi Garde has answered the question.

If our defence was on its feet as quick as he was off, we'd never concede again.

Probably worth just getting shot of him, he's doing nothing other than fill a position.

They can hire me and I can tell them they're all shit for a couple of grand a week.

Regardless of nebulous concepts such as blame he has presided over some utter tripe. Statistically our worst manager by some distance.
