Remi Garde - Departs Aston Villa

[rob_bridge]

He should be our manager if the vast majority of the following are shifted on:

Hutton
Westwood
Gabby
Richards
Richardson
Westwood
Clark
Guzan
CNz
Bacuna

Scrap that he should be manager if all of them are gone. I've probably missed one or two.

If not he should resign and let someone else try their hand until they get a pay off around Christmas time. And another and another.

Garde is not the problem. He may not be the solution but until we address the other causes we won't know.

Have lost a little bit of confidence in him but he should stay and prove himself.

So have I - I bet he has lost some confidence too Olaf managing that bunch of underperforming clowns with an appalling attitude. Them, not him.

Westwood is so bad we should sell him twice.

Sadly I think he should go. We need a complete change from this season. Players and manager. I fear too much " hangover " if he stays. A shame because he has more integrity than most at the club

[ozzjim]

I reckon this new head of football operations is perfect for him.

[Axl Rose]

I want him to go. Nothing personal,of course. Just his picking of appalling players week in,week out, regardless of their performances and behaviour.

He comes across as smart, articulate and knowledgeable. But ultimately, also weak and bereft of passion and motivational skills.

The main concern for me is who would replace him? I hear Pearson, Bruce.....incredibly depressing. I want Howe, and can't think of anyone else.

If he does stay, he will get my full backing. I hate myself for being so quick to judge him, considering the startling lack of backing from the board. I feel hypocritical. Maybe with a full summer and new board members behind him, we'll see an improvement.

[passitsideways]

To be fair, he pretty much only has appalling players to pick from week in, week out.

That's true, and I know my argument is a much repeated one. I'd play the kids,but I'm not a manager and don't know how it all works.

[AV82EC]

Stay for me.

[Rigadon]

Go.  I think he's a poor manager managing an awful squad. 

[Steve67]

Statistics apart, not being supported in the market etc, I like the man but not the management. Don't care either way if he stays or goes but I have a perverse wish for him to go just to see who this board would bring in!

[Mossie Hennebry]

Stay, if the squad is bombed. I think he will leave if not given assurances before the Summer that he can bring in his own players. The playing staff at the club are just rotten.

[oswald funkletrumpet]

has he won more games than sherwood?
has he tightened up the defence?
has he shown any motivational skills?
does he inspire confidence?
does he have a tactical plan?

Yep, somehow can't imagine he will be able to turn things around sufficiently.
