An interesting, relevant and timely BBC article? Would football be different with six-month managers? http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/35820772
A defence for Remi?

[kippaxvilla2]

I was only nine at the time so i can't remember but was there this much support for McNeill in 87?

There wasn't social media as such back then otherwise IMO, it would just be the same.  There's always going to be divided opinion among football supporters, whatever the issue.

Most of the fans anger that season went towards Ellis from memory.  When McNeil came in he was yet another left field appointment given that citeh were fairly crap as well. 

Yet he got a new manager bounce and so got support.  That soon ebbed away however to an air of resignation as it dawned on us just how bad the side was.  I'm pretty sure there wasn't anywhere near the anger towards the players there is today though.  Hodge excepted.

The recent bloodletting at the club (Fox, Almstadt, Reilly next surely) makes me think more and more that Remi will be here next season.

Clearly, he's not been happy with them. They've now almost all gone and he's almost the last man standing.

And it will be a good thing, a sign that they intend to do things properly.

I'd agree.

It would be even better if we could get rid of unwanted players just as easily. I'd trust Remi if he had his own team without the trouble makers. Unless those are turfed out I can not see it working here for him.

More like Hollis has had to convince Garde with actions rather than words that things will change and prove that he has the power to make the changes necessary.

Then again its not rocket science to work out that things have gone tits up and something needed to be done.

Problem is that we haven’t been assured that Garde is the right man to take us forward ... we still know no more than when he first joined us as he wasn’t given the chance to bring in his own players.

Purely on results and performance to date regrettably Id say no however what he would be like with his own team around him is another matter.   I really thought and hoped he would be the manager to lead us to mid table mediocrity but as we know thats just not worked out like that.

I got that impression from his last press conference. That he stated he had given his opinions and he is being consulted as part of the process to rectify the ills. Which is also why I think that once they have done with the boardroom/management changes, they'll tackle the players. But they need to get this but sorted first so they go into the summer with a clear and unified path. Irrespective of whichever division we find ourselves in.

Personally, I think after Reilly has gone, Remi will be go as well. Not such a bad thing either. A total clear out from the top with a load of players to go in the summer

I still think he will go back to France.  And then ladies and gentlemen a choice of Pearson, N or Penis, T.

Not his players I know, not been backed as we all know. But, Remi has failed to control the players and perhaps the board will be considering whether they have made a mistake with his appointment, given he was another Fox appointee? I doubt we will be able to afford the wholesale changes amongst the playing staff that we are claiming to need, so Remi may have to fit in with the spending plan again.

Garde, Sherwood, Lambert, McLiesh, they all failed to get anything out of this squad.

All poor managers to be fair. Remi aside. They purchased these players so they get what they deserve. It was totally their fault for not getting a tune out of them. We can only blame the board for appointing them and not giving them enough money. We cannot blame them for the piss poor tactics, player purchases or dynamics in the dressing room.
