YLN Posted February 2, 2016 Share Posted February 2, 2016 Just now, Mantis said: I'm hoping he's trying to force their hand. Garde knows the fans are on his side and that the anger directed at them will only increase if he leaves. Maybe this is his way of trying to get the board to back him in the summer? I hope that's the case. I'm fearful it isn't though. He'll want his pay off, and may be consulting his lawyers about constructive dismissal. Until then, he'll remain manager, and not discuss his future in the press. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We'll have to wait and see but I wouldn't discount the possibility - it's a pretty good tactic to be fair. The board must realise by now that even if Garde leaves on his own accord they're going to be in a state of outright conflict with the fans and that doesn't do them any good at all.

sharkyvilla Posted February 2, 2016 Share Posted February 2, 2016 To be fair Remi had the chance to get some real digs in and chose not to. He's someone you can definitely read between the lines with though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or he'll speak to his friends at French TV about his old job back and Jack it in and pursue compensation in parallel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But why would he want to be fighting constant battles with them? Playing games. It's tiring, particularly when managing a football team is stressful enough. This is the problem, any manager who comes in doesn't just have the challenge of getting results, they have to fight a constant battle with a board who are pulling in the opposite direction. It's something you don't need because ultimately it's impossible to achieve anything under a board that won't cooperate with you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ferguson1 Posted February 2, 2016 Share Posted February 2, 2016 Not sure if we are just reading him wrong tonight? He has just watched his players give everything and we just couldn't hold on. I would be pissed off if I was him. If he is still here on Saturday he needs every fan chanting his name! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Indeed. He was clearly irritated by the questions. It's a running theme, most of his press conferences, which are specifically for the upcoming game, are filled with questions about the club and transfers. I think it was the same after the game. He was happy to answer questions about the game, but Stubbs (was it Stubbs) was just askign him over and over about relegation and looking for a headline.

But they're already in close enough to outright conflict with the fans. It can't really get much worse. And they don't give a shit. Doesn't affect them at all.

Jareth Posted February 2, 2016 Share Posted February 2, 2016 The board said that their number 1 aim was stability and to keep their manager. They f*cked that up before they'd even said it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spawnsworth Posted February 2, 2016 Share Posted February 2, 2016 I think he's gone. The board have let him/us down YET AGAIN. He seemed very optimistic about bringing players in before the transfer window but it seems the rug has been pulled from beneath him and he's (rightly) not taking it too well. The tone of that interview would suggest to me that he's about to walk. Just nothing going for us at all. I don't remember a Premier League team in such a mess.

Also, there's every possibility that we might get bought once we're in the Championship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

London Villa Posted February 2, 2016 Share Posted February 2, 2016 I just read this on the BBC website, I didn't hear it so don't know how it came across but for me, the last sentence says it all really. I think he could have been the best manager we'd had for years, I'd be gutted if he walked but wouldn't blame him at all. Remi Garde speaking to BT Sport: "I didn't speak yet with Jordan Ayew. It will stay private. "It was too big a mountain for 10 men. We were denied a penalty. I'm sorry for the referee but it was a clear penalty. "We started well. Then after that this penalty and this stupid red card, the game was over. "The first goal, I'm not sure it wasn't offside. I feel very sorry for the guys to be beaten after the bravery they showed." Asked about his future, he said: "I'm not speaking about that. It is not the time." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
