Remi- It has happened.

[themossman]

I wonder if we have anyone lined up...

In the previous Lerner years I would 100% laugh at this and say of course not. For the first time, with our new 'football' people on the board then I would say 100% yes. Naive maybe but I'm more hopefully on proper football decisions for the first time in the last decade

I can't see any manager worth their salt coming in before May 16th.  Why would you want to be remotely associated with this car crash?

This is the first test of whether having 'names' on the board is actually any good for anything. If we get recruitment wrong again, and end up with another questionable manager plus the same shit squad/no budget policy we can have the best executive team in world football and still nose dive through the divisions.

This season's Alain Perrin.

Yeah he wasn't helped by the Lerner/The Board and the general shambles that is Aston Villa nowadays; but he showed absolutely nothing to suggest he could inspire a turnaround.

I feel absolutely nothing about him.  He was just...there.

I'm not going to give an argument, it's just a difference of opinion. But I feel quite down about it.

I may be sentimental but he's been shafted by all. Macdonald on his first night, the players and Randy for not sticking by him.

It may not be a normal business but by god some of those players should (with any justice) be on disciplinary charges.

Indeed, ViD. It's like an ongoing multiple pile-up. Great work Randy: you da man.

At the top of the pyramid of inadequacy sat Randy Lerner who presided over a Chief Exec and a Director of Football, Head of Recruitment etc all of whom helped to contribute to the collective planning inadequacy at the club. A series of Managerial muddlers have been appointed who no doubt got ground down by all around them including a group of players who have most certainly lived up to the title of being "inadequate for the Premiership."  What chance did Remi Garde have? He certainly appeared to struggle to motivate the players and the on field errors simply carried on at the same shambolic rate as they did under Tim Sherwood. One could say things went from Brad to worse.
We have been a Football Club who have been so poorly organised for so long that Remi Garde was just another person who was in totally the wrong place and had little hope given the dullards who surrounded him. Garde appeared to be off the pace from the beginning and probably the performances at Norwich and Sunderland (the usual defensive clangers) convinced the decision makers at the Club that there was not the quality to turn things round.
Things at the club have started to improve with some of the recent appointments off the field; as for the players; quite simply they do not deserve to wear a football shirt that carries the Aston Villa badge; very sadly we will be stuck with some of these individuals for some time.

Nothing positive has come out of his appointment had to go and IMO no way was right man to get us back up.

Grealish has just tweeted that he's "happy to be back in training"!!!

Distasteful. Just zip it and get your head down.

[AV89]

So happy to be back in training 😄😄 #AVFC ❤️💙 https://t.co/4SeRogVnyM

Perhaps not the best timed tweet ever.

Where's Sheffield Villain gone ?

I wanted to put a bet on with him.

[Gregorys Boy]

Perhaps not the best timed tweet ever.

Maybe he just got out the pub and didn't hear the news... Still he might make the bench now at least?

"The latest desperate episode in a story of chaos and crisis that will soon end in relegation".

I'm not one for giving too much of a damn about what journalists write, but this quote could not have been more apt.

Remi was mugged, no more and no less. What a complete and utter fucking shambles this once storied club has become. And so we roll the dice again (for the umpteenth time in 5 years) hoping to land on a winner next time. Fools.

We look exactly what we are tonight - foolish. The decline continues......

 

[sickbeggar]

Really poor thing to tweet the knobhead. Will be playing non-league football in 5 years time. Hopefully not with us.

[Abbeyfealeavfc]

So long Garde but you never really stood a chance!
Shafted by Fox and co. from day 1! Shafted by the so-called players!
The new board still need to get rid of Reilly and a great number of the current playing staff who
have been shafting the fans all season. Their part in shaming the club must not be forgotten in all this!!!

He also liked the tweet from the club confirming Garde had gone only to remove it later

[Gaztonniller]

What chance did RG really have. An inexperienced foreign manager coming to the Prem; he inherits a poor lack luster team low on confidence, is given no money to spend for transfers, and surprise surprise ends up getting the push a few months later with the team bottom of he league. You couldn't make it up.

[Malandro]

This is probably the daddy of all mutual consents.
