Remi Garde - Departs Aston Villa

[themossman]

Basically managers never resign, let alone when they have been so royally fucked over.

[andyh]

Mourinho didn't resign when Chelsea went plummeting towards the bottom 4 earlier this season.

Are you really comparing Chelsea, the defending league champions, to Aston Villa?

Yes why not? To go from champions to hovering over the bottom three is some going, don't you think?

[FranzBiberkopf]

Can  only concur what other guys and girls have said - why did he take the Job?

Because he was unemployed?

Because we pay him 1.2M a year?

[themossman]

Disgraceful, him earning a wage commensurate with the going rate for a PL manager. He should have negotiated that right down at the start if he had any self respect.

It does, but no-one believed for a minute they would ever stay there or end up fighting relegation.

Advocaat did.

[SoccerHQ]

Think it will be a mutual consent thing after Arsenal game. Or even sooner as we must be on course to go down by Mid April at this rate?

Then why did they sack him then?

[ronshirt]

I quite liked the idea of Garde. But he was always going to be another of our Randolf's gambles. And experience teaches that they rarely pay. Come August I doubt our latest manageri will still be with us. Having faulted a Premier League relegation battle Remi must realise that the muck and nettles of the old Second Division is not for him.

[brian green]

If Garde leaves it will be yet another blind, stupid, short term, blundering lurch into the unknown that have littered the decline of the club over the last six years.

When Garde goes there will be shouts of jubilation from these pages that he has been sent packing.  The engineer has packed his bag and the man with a big hammer and a can of Easy Start has been sent for.  We will have Howe/Rowett/Dych photographed in front of the Holte End holding a scarf over his head, telling us what a big club we are.  He will be hailed as the new Messiah.

Then he will have to deal with an absentee want-out owner, an incompetent CEO, a Chairman who is actually the owner's de facto administrator, a completely demoralised staff, a dressing room like the OK Corral, the loss to better clubs of the few talented players we have, the entrenchment of the rubbish on long contracts and sky high wages, a media pack with a taste for Villa blood, wall to wall piss taking and ridicule from the pundits, season ticket sales falling through the floor and the club's only real asset it's fanbase pig sick and raw from everything it has had to endure.

All that on a budget of peanuts.

Anything less than straight wins from day one and the dead cat bouncing higher than a house and the sniping and manager hating will start up all over again. A death spiral.

Yes granted Brian, that goes without saying. But apart from that, what has Remi Garde ever done for us?

[clash city rocker]

I would imagine that Garden has already decided what he wants to do cone the summer. I also imagine the board have already decided his fate. Just think a few months ago Moyes was being discussed on these pages as a possible manager and there wasn't 100% support for him. The next villa manager will be miles below the class of Moyes.God help us.

[myf]

Fuck me.

You've listed the reasons you don't like garde, now tell me why he should resign.

jesus wept if they arent enough reasons to prove he is way out his depth there really is no hope

he is worse than billy mcneill

Would you resign if your contract could be paid up in 3 months time? Would you?

if I wanted to leave with dignity and still have some credibility I would have resigned after west ham. He can stick around for cash but a major black mark on cv taking Villa down. He'll never manage in the prem again

[PeterWithesShin]

For a few million quid I think i'd ignore pride and dignity. Especially if i'd been shit on by my employers.
