Remi Garde - Departs Aston Villa

[joe_c]

I'd be happy to see him given more time on the off chance it might encourage LTA to retire to the drawing room with a large scotch and his service revolver.

Far too easy to blame Garde but he is fighting every other team who have had investment of sorts with an injury hit already poor squad and zero investment.
Let Brian Little decide if we need a new manager or not.

Reading between the lines, that looks like what has happened.

Hollis said the football side of the board (ie Bernstein and Little) would be looking at that aspect of things, so there was no point preempting their decision.

Well the vote seems to be in now, according to all these reports -even from the respectable newspapers.

On the subject of Pearson, supporters (myself included) might not be too enamored with him. But people in the game don't seem to have those hang ups. BFR was calling for him to be appointed in November, and I'm sure I seen something from GT around that time praising him.

Sir Brian does a bit of pundit work, but I'm not sure he'd be in a position to recommend a good up and coming manager in the Pochettino, Clement or Karanka mould, say. By that, I mean advocating a manager like that before he comes to widespread attention in England.

Sherwood did a great job motivating a team without Benteke and Delph. Oh wait...

Judging both Sherwood and Garde on the same players they've both been shit so I don't get anyone saying Sherwood could have done better.

I'm in favour of Garde staying though personally.

If they're going to sack him can I suggest they appoint someone who's able to bring in all of his favoured and trusted coaching staff as well.  This is an area that has been half cocked over the last couple of years as well.

Pearson has worked with Walsh and Shakespear wherever he has been by the looks of it.

Are you really going to get them off Leicester? I would suggest not a chance, and there is no point appointing the bloke without his team. We have surely learnt that lesson from Garde AND Sherwood?

Very good point.

Just reading the People report and Moxley is claiming Remi is on 4m a year....no way surely, that would make it one of the highest paid managers in world football!!

Most other places have said about 25k a week.

I may well be wrong but I heard that both Walsh and Shakespeare are on rolling 1 year contracts so getting them in the summer may be a viable option

Mosley doesn't half make a lot of things up or simply gets things wrong.

Even his name it would appear TV?

That's something that really worries me. For a long time our board have not learned a thing. Hopefully though this New board will look at past mistakes.

Haha yes, fucking autocorrect

[Quiet Lion]

Shit decision if true.

Still with the leading lights of Pearson and Bruce ready to take over I am sure we will all super content next season.

And he works for The People.

Would you swap the Champions League for the Second Division?

I feel this has be one of the biggest issues facing Garde, he needed his lieutenants from Lyon and didn't get them and couldn't make things happen. You need the whole package of a manager and his trusted back room team, on their own they are limited.
