I'd rather just keep Garde.

Just a question, but what has Garde done so far to show that he is going to get us back up? I like him, but I don't think he is the right man.

I think we have a terrible squad that has been getting worse for years. We've also hired several new managers in the last few years and have declined with each appointment. Garde is the first to actually call out some of our parasitic players. I don't know if he's the right man, but I don't know if he's the wrong man either. I don't think anyone could do anything with this squad.

yes he does call them out but then still picks them and we get tonked because they arent trying!

pure genius

Yes, God forbid a manager offer players an opportunity to prove him wrong after offering some constructive criticism.

just dont do it openly, its not that difficult a concept to  grasp

we are getting worse not better under him

did anyone want mcneill to stay?

Is there some fucking law nobody has told me about which means you can't?

Because otherwise it's one of those bollocks football cliches that people blindly follow.

Telling us everything is rosy whilst serving up utter drivel worked well for the last boss, didn't it?

anyone can see that everything is shit you only have to look at the table

garde calling players out with no backup plan was naive in the extreme and backfired

i watched a villa side stop trying against liverpool which cannot be defended.

he has made a shit team shitter, if you want to give reasons to the contary be my guest

2 wins in half a season

no further questions your honour

You see, you've just repeated the same tired cliche without explaining a thing.

Garde 'called out' as you say, those fuckwits after we got stuffed by Liverpool, which was the very least they deserved for their pathetic display and lack of effort.

I'm absolutely not having this bollocks about criticising them, it's claptrap. Fergie may have been against it but his players worked for him, they'd earned it.

Would the honourable council please approach the bench?

Mr Funkeltrumpet approaches.

Judge...Mr Funkletrumpet, I wish to bring to your attention that those are statements you have made and not, questions you have asked.  You may return to your seat.

Mr Funkeltrumpet shuffles back, suitably rebuked.

Glad Garde went public - it was well overdue.

Was it naive? That presumes he would have got a different reaction had he 'buttered their bread' as Lambert often did for example ("players gave their all" blah blah)... oh, yeah, the results were the same.

And I'll take an honest perhaps naive manager than a lying calculating dipwit any day of the week.

You sees what you want.

I'm not happy at all with our results, I'm not happy with the idea of next season being in the old 2nd division, it's a disgrace. The biggest thing that is really winding me up though is these leeches sucking money from our club and in the background undermining the authority and fans at the same time. With this, I believe Remi has pinpointed this and if given the chance he will sack these players and rebuild something good here.

Until any manager is allowed to do this we will not be able to progress. I'd rather trust Remi to do it than Pearson, Davies or Bruce.

I agree, although I'd argue it's unfair to lump Bruce in with those as he's not a mentalist.

Maybe not and a bit unfair. I actually like Bruce as a character, he seems a decent bloke, it's just he's not that inspiring to think he's our next manager.

It'd be a good idea if neither of you went on.
