I don't think he will accept not getting his targets and I don't think he will accept Paddy Reilly's list of alternative suggestions either. I'm not sure how realistic that would be though. It's the players the scouts provided that I think are our best signings, so I wouldn't discount their input if I were Remi, especially as he seems much more clued up about how to integrate players from abroad than Sherwood. I hope he is given money to spend but to be honest I'd just be happy if we kept our key players with a bit of wheeling and dealing on top. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he will be stronger than Sherwood when it comes to players. That's my opinion of him anyway 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dn1982 Posted February 10, 2016 Share Posted February 10, 2016 The improvement in the team of late is there for us all to see and I believe if Garde was backed in Jan we'd have stayed up. I still think we have a chance and we'll go down fighting which before Xmas looked impossible. Garde seems a class act who hasn't pushed the blame on anyone not Sherwood not the players not even the board but what he is constantly doing is demanding we fight for success. His latest comments show he is willing to stay if our club is serious about coming back up and for that alone every Villa fan should back him. He wants the best for our club and is telling the board this. We can have Lerner Out banners all day long but a manager backed by the fans will have more chance of getting a reaction than anything we can achieve. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blasterpocket68 Posted February 10, 2016 Share Posted February 10, 2016 19 hours ago, KSV said: Disagree. The way we have integrated them was done wrong... I still think our best players were from the French league. Gueye next season will be awesome.. whichever league we are in.. Amavi has huge potential.. and will look even better under Garde. Ayew has been our best player hands down. Veretout has shown immense potential. Just needs confidence and more experience. Has 4 assists. More than Westwood has had in 2 years. If anything our senior players and lack of striker signings has been our let down. Gestede has been a massive let down. Crespo etc. As always.. some work some don't. I agree they have not been integrated very well But apart from Amavi the rest are only average players IMO as a fan home and away. I have seen nothing to suggest other wise . They look good for 5 minutes on TV highlights but believe me they are distinvely average. Hence are leauge position. I may be old fashioned but I believe you need a core of British talent in the dressing room, unless you can afford the very very best of talent (man city ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post avfc1982am Posted February 10, 2016 Popular Post Share Posted February 10, 2016 Pulis, Allardyce, Guardiola, Klopp, Mourinho...None of them are happening so those crying about missing out on x,y and z need to get over it and move on. Sunderland are still struggling even with goalscorers and looking shaky. The tesco carrier bags are crying because their product is just shite even with Pulis. Norwich are crying because they are in freefall and no doubt a few others will be crying in the coming weeks as squeaky bum time creeps in. Remi walked into a proper car crash when arriving here and although things moved slowly at first he has shown he has his shit together. Looking back the only real argument as to his inability at this level was his line up against Norwich away, which due to the 3 games in 7 days he didn't have much choice in my opinion, as I am sure many others will feel the same. The decisions he has made have virtually been spot on. Firstly he needed to sort the nonsense out, stabilise the team, tighten the defence and deal with confidence(lack of). Which is the norm when walking into a mess. He has done all those things imo and turned us from a team of utter losers with no fight, to a team of fighters doing their best to win. We aren't the push overs of 5-6 weeks ago. Now had we the players up front in the last couple of months that Sunderland do in Defoe, Norwich now with Naismith and Mbollox(or whatever his name is).Even Tescos with Berahino, Lambert,Rondon and Bournemouth with Afobe. I believe we would not be bottom of the league and be very close in getting away from relegation. The point being Remi is not responsible for our lack of goalscorer in this team. I think he is chipping away as best as anyone could under the circumstances and if had the options mentioned above would be far more successful that Allardyce or Pulis in the results achieved over the last couple of months. People need to concentrate on what we have that is good not what we could've had, especially now that we have a manager finally that appears to know the problems within the squad and how to get the best out of the options available. A manager that talks sense and honestly every week whether good or bad. A manager that when you listen to him speak just makes you like him more than the last time you heard him. A manager that you want to stand in the trenches with and fight with him when the bullets start flying- okay maybe not bullets but you get what I am saying. Also the thought about needing Championship managerial experience in the Championship is just a myth and could be directed at those coming in the opposite direction to the Premiership without top flight experience. Good managers will be good managers in any league given backing to adopt what they feel is necessary to move a club forward. I really think we have a good manager in Remi, and if the Championship is where we are next season he will still prove to be a good manager. I'm backing him and hope the majority continue to do so. 14 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
