What do they think of Grayson??

I think we can close the door on that one...

We can't keep sacking managers so quickly and so often. We need to steady the ship after relegation is confirmed. Garde inherited a sinking ship and hasn't had the opportunity to bring in a single player of his own choosing. How can we condemn the man so quickly in those circumstances?

My sentiments too. To hire a manager and sack him six months later, in our situation, is ludicrous. It sits very badly with me.

It speaks more about Lerner than Garde.

It also sits very badly with me.  My metaphor that the mechanic will be sent packing and the man with a big hammer and a can of Easy Start sent for is, I admit, simplistic but in essence true.

We either accept that the whole Villa machine is broken or we don't.  I believe it is broken.  This calamitous season has been coming for the last five years. It is not something that has suddenly happened that can be fixed by a Nigel Pearson character grabbing players by the throat or managerial methods of the same style.

The team needs to be rebuilt totally.  Stupid long term contracts with players of negative value have to be sorted out.  Nothing short of a new start will be needed.

I think Remi Garde has been treated shamefully by the club and nowhere near enough appreciation of the magnitude of the mess he was thrown into extended to him.

If he is replaced whoever takes his place will owe Remi Garde a very big debt of gratitude for having been put in front of the firing squad and having his football career severely damaged by being held to account for circumstances beyond his control and not of his making.

Facing up to a new season in the Championship in August will be a walk in the park compared with walking into the snake pit that was Villa Park last November.

Couldn't agree more.
Whatever the outcome, he's been treated disgustingly, which doesn't surprise me given what this club has sunk to, and is owed a grovelling apology.

[Hoppo]

I'm not heartless but treated shamefully? Treated disgustingly?
I'm sorry it's just over the top sentimental Shite.
He has been an unmitigated disaster.
Incapable of any enthusiasm for the job, yeah he realised Gabby was crap, I saw that from L8 7 years ago.
Some fans fell in love with the French name and thought how beautiful this was going to be.
In reality the man has been crap, the charisma of a dead badger.
Yet another parasite raping our club, he can do one and take David Ginolas mum with him.

[brian green]

You have a way with words Hoppo.  A very bad one.

[kippaxvilla2]

Although I think it's an inevitable consequence of what's happened this season that he will go, I actually feel guilt (ridiculous I know) when I think about him being sacked.  If he'd have bought some players and then failed then fair enough but to see those jokers still in jobs and him not is an unseemly episode in our history.

[Hoppo]

It's not about having a way with words, the fact is he has been horrendous.
A bright point against Man City and downhill all the way.
He has nothing but negative, no plan, no cohesion.
Lower league cup teams look more organised, there has been nothing, absolutely nothing to get excited about since he arrived.

[UK Redsox]

I have also been disappointed with Garde's time as manager. However, I don't see any point in ditching him now and making a panic appointment such as Mad-Nige.

Leave making a decision until after the season. Then, if a decision is taken to ditch Remi, so be it. At least there will be time to sell the club's potential to other managers, rather than just having to settle for who's out of work at the moment.

Reasonable argument,

Aston Villa is rotten from the top, lerner appoints wannabe premiership managers, with no knowledge of the premiership then sacks them, got to admit its a formula,

To be honest would/will any manager of "experience" take this job now?

The next manager will have to be given a hefty budget, is that going to happen?

No then bring in the next Garde
