H Posted January 9, 2016 Share Posted January 9, 2016 My only hope is that as it's fairly clear the board have long since accepted we're doomed to relegation this season, Garde has been brought in to build a Championship winning side to get the momentum back and start building practically from scratch on the back of a quick promotion back to the Premier League.

Randy Lerner is the reason we are going to be relegated, not Remi Garde, not Tim Sherwood, Paul Lambert or Alex McLeish, RANDY LERNER. Every Manager Lerner has employed has struggled to keep us afloat, are they all sh*t? As i said above, our squad is crap and their attitudes obviously stink, so who is going to come in and do any better? I'd say a lack of investment along with the horrible appointments listed above and terrible player signings is the reason we are going down Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But he wants out as much as we want him out, and it has not happened. If we go down, he will lose out big time, but I have no sympathy for him.

KSV Posted January 9, 2016 Share Posted January 9, 2016 (edited) Keeping Sherwood was not an option. he got us into this mess. Remi might be okay after an off season to bring his players in... but mid season he was the wrong option. Big Sam was available. Moyes was available/still is. Get him in now. Job is his till the end of the season.. if he wants it next year too.. great i doubt he does unless he somehow keeps us up. Give him 30 million to spend now. Remi just cant organise anything. Defence.. attack.. its a shambles and i fear only a few of the players are behind him. Many players have gone backwards under him. Needs to go.

I do genuinely believe he wants out. However when the situation is THIS bad surely even he knows whilst he still owns the club he has to spend money to even remotely compete now? By compete I don't mean the premier league either, this current side wouldn't stand a chance in the championship not a chance. It's not just money either simply turning up for a game would probably make these players think twice before putting on performances like this. It's really not good enough by those at the club from the boardroom to the players. Edited January 9, 2016 by dudevillaisnice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bose Posted January 9, 2016 Share Posted January 9, 2016 Sack him, give him a new contract, hire guardiola it won't change a thing at this sorry club. Lerner has ruined the club. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyC Posted January 9, 2016 Share Posted January 9, 2016 No amount of polishing will get these stinking turds to shine. The manager could be anyone and results would be similar. I do think his decisions up to now have proven he's not the man to save us, no point in sacking him now though, that would just add to the comedy that is Aston Villa. Who the hell would want to be his replacement anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn't Tom Fox say that he "wasn't a motivated seller" I'm sure he does want out mate, but you have to wonder exactly how much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds like the squad either don't respect him or he doesn't have the authority to get the players to do what he wants. Either way, it doesn't reflect well on him (or the payers). Throwing his players under the bus. Didn't Sherwood do that as well? Doesn't reflect well on the squad does it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sne Posted January 9, 2016 Share Posted January 9, 2016 He continues to play a formation/selection of players that is never going to work or score goals, there is no excuse for insisting on playing Gestede and or Sinclair. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xela Posted January 9, 2016 Share Posted January 9, 2016 Where do we go from here? Give him money in the window and hope he improves us? Or cut our losses, don't spend anything, limp towards the end of the season and replace him with someone else? I'm not sure I want Garde spending money if he's not going to be here next season and I haven't seen anything that would suggest he will be, or deserves to be 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
