Remi Garde - Departs Aston Villa

[Toronto Villa]

The one thing we needed right off the bat was a bit of inspiration. He hasn't provided any. And he's been sucked into the vortex of misery and is trapped. He offers nothing now as a way forward.

[saunders_heroes]

Let's face it, he's been useless hasn't he?

[ez]

When the squad only has rubbish players in it we're going to be rubbish.

[DaveD]

Let's face it, you could pool the very best of Clough, Shankly and Ferguson, twinned with divine inspiration and they'd struggle to get a result out of this clusterfuck of a club.

[Jimbo]

Remi's position is untenable. He should walk now, with his head held high, from this poisonous clusterfuck. He remains the only, solitary intelligent, dignified and honest voice I've heard emanating from Villa Park in the whole of the last five years, maybe more. But this rotten club is soiling him and his reputation. He doesn't deserve it. Go, let us appoint a raging anus like Nigel Pearson and let us fulfil our own prophecy of doom.

[pauliewalnuts]

He's got nothing to work with.

The squad clearly consists largely of mercenary ****** who don't give too much of a shit.

[sickbeggar]

Let's face it, he's been useless hasn't he?

Well useless would have been as bad as Tim. He's took on the challenge and made Sherwood look an amateur at this relegation lark

[Steve67]

Completely uninspiring, can't motivate the players. Terrible performances game after game. It's not working, in fact, it's embarrassing.

[Risso]

He's got nothing to work with.

The squad clearly consists largely of mercenary c***s who don't give too much of a shit.

I'm not sure he gives a stuff either.  Telling players they're all shit on a weekly basis isn't going to make them try harder.  They're shit, he's shit.  A perfect storm of shitness.

[Chris Jameson]

There are three players in our team who I truly despise, I've never felt like that about any Villa player other than Hodge.

[saunders_heroes]

When the squad only has rubbish players in it we're going to be rubbish.

I agree, but he's offered nothing though, not even the 'new manager lift' that even some of the shittest out there can manage for a few weeks. I think there's a bit of the emperor's new clothes about him. I keep hearing stuff about him being a fine manager and then I look at the results.
He's been appalling. Even Sherwood managed to lift us for a few weeks and kept us up.
Wrong choice, wrong manager.

This is it.

This club is disintegrating, it has just been left to crumble to pieces by that idiot rich kid who got bored of his new toy faster than anyone predicted.

He spoke when he arrived of being a custodian of the club and understanding what that meant. Well, as a "custodian", he has been absolutely disastrous. If he hasn't been making idiotic decisions himself, he's been appointing other idiots to make them for him.

Even Man City's mega rich owners realised that pumping money in was only half of it, so they went and got most of Barcelona's leadership. Lerner went four years leaving it all to the manager, then appointed someone who managed a call centre for him, then someone whose one achievement in the game was doing a shirt deal.

Garde getting utterly fucking stitched up is just one sign of how insane things have been.

This is not going to get any better until Lerner sells up and can stop even pretending to give a fuck any more.

[Dave P]

It's hard to judge him as he had nothing to work at. Clearly motivation is a problem. If he went before the end of the season, I wouldn't shed a tear but he is not the problem and everyone know that.

[Hoppo]

At least Sherwood gave us some good fuckin days! This prick gives off a defensive, negative, persona, beaten before we start. We all know the players are in the main wank but he has to go.

That's the moment I lost it with Garde. You don't say stuff like that in public and expect the players to be on your side. It was amateurish.
