Just a muted statement saying he has left by mutual consent would have suffice. Thanks for what exactly? We're too nice to do well in football. Houllier was right.

Certain relegation a team inspired running the balls off for every ball. Thanks for the manager bounce what the F did he provide , shape style passion control ! No nothing! Sorry I didn't buy the fact he wasn't backed financially , allegedly he is a top French coach ! coach , A coach leads trains teams and inspires them. I have seen nothing of this in RG time at villa. Not enough experience for a club like villa in the position we were in. Poor appointment . Full stop . But a very nice man? So how many games before you are laying into his replacement? Five, Ten, Fifteen, Twenty games? My money is on fifteen. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Davkaus Posted March 29, 2016 Popular Post Share Posted March 29, 2016 You shouldn't have to 'motivate' players to catch a ball, or break out of a slow jog occasionally. The players are an absolute disgrace. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nope At the start of the season would you of said our squad of players were worse than... Let's say Watford or Bournemouth? I wouldn't... So he had the tools! He hasn't utilised them.

He's failed miserably at his job... end of I agree...failed miserably, largely due to players downing tools and not being backed. He's probably the only guy from the club that can walk away with any dignity after this sorry season. I personally wish him well 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YGabbana Posted March 29, 2016 Share Posted March 29, 2016 He's also had the worst villa squad of all time (premier league anyway). He's not done a particularly good job, but he never had a chance. If the next guy takes over soon, he'll have 6 losses by the end of the season and people will be calling for his head in the summer, despite him not being the problem. Should still have been able to get more than 2 wins. He simply could not motivate the players, it was blatent to see. Part of being a manager is being able to motivate your players. Granted he wasnt backed in the window, we can all agree on that point. I just cant see how anyone can say he was the right manager at the wrong time. Based on what exactly? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This was a poor appointment, and I have made my feelings on this board very clear. Totally respect your opinion; this board is all about opinions. Its just I blame the players and the hierarchy at the club far more that Garde who I think is a decent man and probably a decent manager who has been utterly shafted by the former two. I very much doubt SAF or Pep would have done much better in the circumstances. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
