Remi Garde - Departs Aston Villa

[myf]

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

Maybe so. Depends on whether he wants to be a millionaire - probably already is - or have a decent future in football management. Walking in out in feb would have shat on his employers when we still had a chance as no one would have joined us then

Ok, let's put it another way. Should Steve McClaren walk away from his Newcastle contract?

no comparison.  Steve has been damaged goods for years and his career is finished now. Gardes was just begining

[themossman]

It's nonsense to write him off based on his time here. He will go to another club in Europe, possibly back to Lyon, and resume his progress as a good young manager.

[Ron Manager]

I think it would be reasonable to say he should have got a few wins considering how long he has been in the job.Unfortunately he has failed to do this.Much as I like Remi I think the end is very close.

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.

While Lerner's austerity has obviously damaged us , our main problem has been a stream of woeful managerial appointments.

Even with Lerner at the  helm  if we appoint Sean Dyche in the close season I'm sure he'd get us back up pretty quickly.

Yeah, because Dyche will come to us in a flash won't he?

Maybe, but he's still walking away from a lot of money. People who say he should wouldn't do it themselves.

[myf]

If he's sacked will that be about £20m in compo on last 5 gaffers?

[PeterWithesShin]

I don't want Dyche until he learns to clear his throat.

[Des Little]

No manager with any ambition will come here. We are poisonous.

[Yossarian]

Not even Jesus could save us now.

[AlexAlexCropley]

He should be sent on Gardening leave

[Malandro]

Not even Jesus could save us now.

We've had our last supper and Judas invited his brothers to dine.

That's my take on it as well.
