I think those two examples in particular point to him having quite a strong mind, not taking any bullshit despite a relatively calm exterior. I also liked that he got caught up in the mind games at the weekend, we could use a little siege mentality if only to make things interesting. I agree. He showed a little darker side to his personality the weekend. Somehow I don't think he is the push over many feel he is either. I personally think he will now believe he has given all the players(bar Kozak) a fair chance to at least show their worth to the team. I think the Norwich and Sunderland games will have enforced to him the fact many need replacing and we may see him become far more ruthless between now and the end of the season due to this. At least I hope so! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post thunderball Posted January 4, 2016 Popular Post Share Posted January 4, 2016 Some press had him down as "losing the plot" which is a rather unfair interpretation. I think he is pissed off with the team, I reckon he has really tried with these idiots and is sick of their inability to hold their shape and discipline which some on here attribute to him somehow. I think he has the back bone for the job and has cards well and truly marked. Hoping he can sign a few players for a better indication of policy. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post VillaCas Posted January 4, 2016 Popular Post Share Posted January 4, 2016 3 hours ago, Neil said: So he's incapable of demonstrating any improvement in our team by working with our players directly, but he'll improve them by mediating through someone else? Honestly, I'm failing to see how this works. I don't think you're even trying to understand this Neil. In simple terms - The squad is shit. No-one can get them playing better. We don't have the right players. Garde needs to overhaul the squad completely and build again. Our Premiership status was long gone before he got here. In the same way that things will be better when some of his own signings are here, I also agree that it stands to reason that things will be better when his specialist coaches arrive When we eventually come back to the premiership it will be with a sqaud and team unrecognisable from the current set-up I've got no way to know yet if Garde will be any good or not and I'm not defending him because I think he is brilliant but with the hole we are in I beleive we need to stick with a manager for an extended period I expect or form to improve slightly as Garde first few signings start to come through and the crap is weeded out and for a complete overhaul of the squad in the summer or perhaps you're one of those in the Neil Warnock camp? 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neil Posted January 4, 2016 Share Posted January 4, 2016 4 hours ago, dont_do_it_doug. said: I think the idea that MOST of our players don't look interested in playing for him is absolute bollocks, frankly. I'm not suggesting he's doing a good job or that their confidence isn't shot to absolute shittery, but I don't see this same "lack of effort" as others do. Was a half decent piece on talk sport about villa just a short while ago. Got all the points right about us, and they rounded off with the players not lacking the want to try...they're simply not good enough. They made some interesting points that this was even apparent in pre season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Posted January 4, 2016 Share Posted January 4, 2016 Wenger said that taking the Villa job would be a gamble and so it has proved for both Garde and for our football club. He is now the second most likely PL manager to leave with Corals at 4/1 after LvG. Is that because the bookies suspect our "custodian" will pull the trigger on another manager to try to deflect criticism from himself again? Or because they guess Garde will resign when he is not backed to bring in his own players during this transfer window? Or they expect Garde will walk away when he accepts our relegation is inevitable as our poor run of results continues? Or because they anticipate we will look for a different manager to seek promotion next season on a significantly lower wage than our present boss? These are my 4 likely reasons in the order that I see them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What a load if cobblers. I get the simple point, and I agree we've a shit squad. But if you're telling me that its impossible to get them playing any better then you're telling me that Tim Sherwood was already the best we could get and was already getting the maximum from this squad...i don't believe that, I don't think you do either. As shit as our squad is, garde is not doing a very good job with them. Not making the right changes, enough changes, at the right times. Bad selections and percevering with some losing formula's just to name a few. All mistakes that reflect in his relative lack ofmanagement experience and timeframe for finding his feet with this team. My position is clear, we have gone past the point of return and we need to stick with what we have and hope that our manager improves his performances as well as that of the team. But this excuse making for him in that the team cannot perform any better is bullshit. He needs to improve, and learn from his mistakes before the season is out - I am behind him until then. Also pinning all this "is not his team", get used to it as mangers have their ideas on who they want...and our transfer committee has their idea of what we can get and who we can afford. I am no anti garde, he has me for this season - but please stop with the bullshit excuses already. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kingman Posted January 4, 2016 Share Posted January 4, 2016 (edited) Seen nothing in tha last ten games or so and don't expect to see anything in the next ten. Players don't even want to play for him on the evidence seen of late. Some would say lost the dressing room but he never even won it on seen efforts Was always gonna be a mug punt from our massively under qualified board and charlatan advisers. Tom Fox & Co, You complete and utter bunch of pricks, Your an embarrassment to this club and the world of football. Couldnt run a pig up an alley way with a big stick.

Want the whole point of replacing the manager was that we didn't think the last one was getting as much out of them as he could and we thought a new one was better than the old one and would get most out of them, it is sort of what was alluded to at the time by fox et al. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
