Remi Garde - Departs Aston Villa

[old man villa fan]

Why did we get rid of Remi Garde when we did?  We may as well have carried on with him to the end of the season.

[West Derby Villan]

Cuz that's the "Villa way"

[Ian.]

I would imagine after the dissapointment of the transfer window it was quite a mutual agreement to part company.

[eamonn]

When is he going to ''spill'' to the French media the type of shit he had to put-up with at Villa while Ged Houllier shakes his head sagely ?

[ChicagoLion]

You could say the same about Sherwood, both decisions look like mistakes.

[brian green]

Sherwood was the wrong man (cocky, brash, impulsive) at the right time.  He was the slug of whisky to the man with the flu.  Garde was the right man (thoughtful, patient, clever) at the wrong time.  He was the man who knew where the fire escape was but everyone was already burning.

[Eigentor]

Maybe Garde knew where the fire escape was and suggested we should escape through it in January, but the board told him instead to put out the fire with a very small blanket.

[brian green]

Agree, better metaphor altogether.

Bravo  superbly summarised

Are Garde and Sherwood bound by any kind of confidentiality agreements?

Probably.  It seems as Lerner would rather lose more money than let his ex-managers speak about their time at Villa.

Lambert seems happy enough to shoot his mouth off every five minutes.

Hasn't really said much, though.

Garde, right man ?

Thoughtful ? Patient ? Clever ?

He may well have been all three ? How many points did he accrue ?

Defend him as much as you like. He was yet another hapless appointment.

He was merde.
