Remi Garde - Departs Aston Villa

[kippaxvilla2]

I honestly don't care whether he jumps and does cartwheels or just sits there smoking. 

What I do care about is him seeming to have the first idea of how to motivate and organise a team that's a) running through walls not to lose and b) have some idea of how to play to score goals to win a game.  He's shown none of this.

Git Mac Daddy and Kriss Kross on RG's case innit.

Indeed. His approach to management is to tell everybody they're shit and sit around looking glum.   He hasn't shown any ability at all.

I never saw Ron Saunders looking anything other than glum, so I would suggest it is a red herring.

Sheffield - did sherwood inspire a turn around in form with lamberts squad?

Sherwood was a disaster granted, but it would have been nice to have seem some fight and passion from a new manager

[JUAN PABLO]

just get Pearson in - f@@k it - Leicesters success  has a lot to do with him

collymore saying Bruce would go Villa ... ermmmmm

[PeterWithesShin]

collymore also said McInally was part of the 86/87 side. And shouted "go on then" in encouragement of a late Swansea attack. He's a prize plum so my default position is we should do the exact opposite of anything he says.

Or humour. Definitely one of the two

A bad workman blames his tools.

Claudio Ranieri doesn't have the best players in the league, but he's going to win it.

Actually, this is a brilliant point.
The Leicester team should not be within a million miles of the champions league places, let alone winning the title.
But, there is every chance they will win the league.
Their manager has got an average team playing miles above their ability.

Surely, a decent manager could have gotten our load of shite playing 3 places better than we actually are?
 Just 3 fucking places !

Though I would be loathe to credit Pearson with anything Ranieri did build on the incredible run that Leicester went on at the end of last season. What was intelligent about initially and he has been since is not trying to fix something that wasn't broken and had some momentum. He was precisely what they needed and has sufficient experience and smarts to just keeper nudging what has become a juggernaut along the path to the title. It's arguably going to be the greatest achievement in the history of top flight football in England.

No argument about it. It's incredible, and actually a little bit beautiful (assuming it happens!).

Air of sulky detachment: check.
Expression of withering contempt: check.

Someone give that man a fag!

[Bottom Right 89]

Theres no way back from here, the new board need to make the decision now personally i think he was the right man at the wrong time but with all the defeats hes inspiring no one in that dressing room anymore. Let him go this week and get someone in place before the Summer to assess the squad.
