Gana, Hutton and Sissoko, the only players who put a shift in . Ayew tried but you could see was rusty and Westwood is the biggest waste of a pair of football boots iv ever seen. vertout showed once again that he has to play, on the middle more advanced. Richards our captain seems to find everything a bit of a joke . I can't work out what Bun has done wrong for us to have Yanky Doodle back . With all the ex players we have got offering to help, surely their is a defender amongst them, who could help coach our defence . While we are on about ex players, how come David Platt is the only one who's never got a good word to say about the club . If it hadn't been for Villa and super Sid, he would have still been at Crew. Villa for ever.

hi people like i said before i got it on good authority that garde will not be our manager at the end of the season there will be a clear out all over at the top. I go home and away and iam starting to see our fans come together again alan hutton loves the club even thrown he's top after the stoke game to the fans where every1 else walked off. What iam trying to say is i don't always agree with flackie but let's not argue he just offers another side to a arguement we are all villa and want the same thing but it needs a clear out from top to bottom fans players let's stand united even if we don't always agree because the one fing we all got is we want the best for ASTON VILLA!

Garde not being there at the end of season isn't really rocket science, shafted by the club after promises, like Sherwood his life has been sucked out of him by the players, Lerner and everyone associated running club has screwed us for years and majority players pick up easy pay check every week for f*** all work, I wish we could invent time travel, I would fast forward to end of season because it hurts sooo bad, thank god I had to work and not get to go tonight, what I watched in first 30 minutes OMG feel like crying, all our managers since MON have not stood a chance, and mistakes have been made aswell, Tim lost his belief, Garde has lost his belief, you can see it in them 10 games of pure pain to go, way we are going could be lower tier of football in next 3 yrs. No matter what VTID but can't wait to end this nightmare this season 😭😭😭.

Agree2 Disagree0

01 Mar 2016 23:24:28
Also if 7000 Liverpool fans can walk out in protest at the hike in ticket prices and make most major news outlets and change there billionaires owners then I say we all boycott the next VP home game, empty stadium, Lerner loses match day takings, players do they really deserve an audience let's be honest I can only pick about 2/ 3 players all season have tried, will also attract bad publicity to the owners, runners of club and it shows once and for all We have had enough of being the laughing stock probably of world football, I agree all Fans stay united but UNITED in protest, what do you all say to that?

Agree1 Disagree0

01 Mar 2016 13:02:39
Look, although I do find the insults and digs quite entertaining, I don't totally disagree!
My point that I am trying to say is, I genuinely do think that garde is a good guy, an intelligent man, and his record in France proved a good coach/manager.
I think he is a man of his word, and could of walked away from this after January, as was obviously sold the job on false promises.

However... Is he the man to save villa? Probably not! Do I think it is owed to him to try, yes.
If he was able to create his own team, would we be better? Can we be worse? And is it not right for him to be given the opportunity?
As let's be honest, these players are not his, lambert and Del Boys.

But.. The argument that I have is the constant negativity, barraging and blind attacking the management structure on this site.
We are not there because of garde.

Then when things don't get better, we get the I told you so brigade, and that annoys the crap out of me!

Don't agree with me? Fine!
Think I'm full of siht? Great!

But you won't change my opinion, feelings or belief!

I don't work for villa, I have paid to follow and support this club for over 30 years, and feel, as we all do, that I have my right to give my opinion!

Any way, I am passionate, and very opinionated, and if this spills over and I have upset, and insulted any body, I do apologise, and offer an olive branch!
And if you want to hit me with this olive branch, I sit at k7 holte upper, 302.

I did send that before yesterday.
After watching that disgrace again, I may have to eat my words.

Agree0 Disagree0

02 Mar 2016 11:54:28
Agree flackie. I would like to see what garde can do if he's allowed to build a team. But there lies the problem!

How many times if ever have you seen a club bring in a new manager into a then relegation threatened position and not spend a penny?

Then look at the summer signings fiasco. we signed the has been Klingon for what £2mil and crespo for £1.5mil both of whom have been s***, west brom used that money to spend £6mil on Jonny Evans! Yes I'm biased because I'm from ni but surely someone if they gave a s*** about our club and what league they wanted us in would have realised that a further £2.5mil would have bought a half decent defender?

Agree0 Disagree0

02 Mar 2016 17:02:58
For me the main problem is Lerner has been miss guided by non football men and has been gullible to have it happen Lerner yes is partly to blame but so is fox and the transfer committee too who should all loose jobs Lerner needs to get football people in to help him and put funds up or what I and most would like is that he sells up.

Agree0 Disagree0

02 Mar 2016 18:20:23
Lerner is the cause of the problems. Look at what he done to the Cleveland Browns! He employs the people to run the club and make those decisions for him and agin has screwed up big style.

A question for the idiot who continously criticises any opion he does not agree with (Flackie)

Do you work for Villa? You seem quite determined to keep everyone going to the games and not criticising the manager? You have opinions but seem to struggle with facts and why won't you answer the questions I asked, just trying to shoot me down and anybody else who criticises the management currently ruining our once great club?

Believable3 Unbelievable5

29 Feb 2016 11:12:45
Do I??
Or do I ask you to use your intelligence and look beyond the management?
Can every manager we have all be useless? The are two common denominators, the owner, and the players!

Sorry for my delay in answering, I couldn't get my google translator to work to understand what you wrote.

Agree4 Disagree2

29 Feb 2016 11:27:36
Also, what questions??

Agree6 Disagree2

29 Feb 2016 18:03:33
He probably works on the turnstiles villa82,thats why he wants everyone to keep going so he won't be out of a job. Either that or he is Remi Gardes brother-in-law.

Agree3 Disagree4

29 Feb 2016 18:15:42
I don't agree with everything either of you say but it's a forum and you can say what you want! Villa82 what manager do you believe would have done better with our squad? Pearson?!? I thought garde was a good choice like I did lambert but if we ain't got the squad or ain't going to get a decent squad no manager is going to sort the problem out!

Agree4 Disagree0

29 Feb 2016 20:27:16
Excactly craigers and thanks nick the guy is really annoying shooting anybody and everybody down who has an opinion! I just pointed out the facts that Remi has not improved this squad and has a terrible record, he has no prem experience! Flackie said Remi is articulate, intelligent and tactically astute (hilarious) I just asked for evidence of this as what I see is the opposite! And Flackie if you need translate to read English then maybe that's the problem is English not your first language? Maybe its French

I have never just blamed Garde and if you read what I wrote I suggested that Hollis should sack Fox, Almstadt, OReiily and Garde and bring in Moyes and we still have a chance of staying up! He can help to recruit new coaches and recruitment team which is what we need in my opinion, I don't mean to offend anyone but I love villa and Remi is to negative and made to many mistakes and THE TEAM HAS NOT IMPROVED!

Why shoot everyone down without answers just cocky replies?

For what its worth, if the yanks middle men are to be believed (and they're not touting to get the price up) we might well be dropping the selling of pies and begin selling chinese food next season instead, in with keeping with the new owners native cuisine, load of old flannel, could be, but that's the current rumour from the land of the fake "Guardian".

Only change for today is Richards dropped to the bench which Rudi is sitting on too. Looking at the starting line up really does leave you with a sinking feeling and very little optimism, roll on the summer rebuild! utv.

paddy riley was at the birmingham v bolton game question is who was he watching? could it be zak clough? either way i would keep paddy riley away from transfers. villa need to make up there mind do they want a head coach or a manager because iam telling you managers like to buy there own players otherwise how can they play he's style? how has paddy riley an tom fox still got jobs after this summers recruitment?

Believable2 Unbelievable0

25 Feb 2016 20:32:42
Heaven forbid, the manager asked a member of his staff to look at the player to give him a report or shock horror, an educated opinion?

Agree1 Disagree1

26 Feb 2016 01:45:39
we all know the manager at aston villa don't buy the players i was just making a point of saying paddy riley was not only still in charge of recruitment but looking at buying more rubbish!

Agree0 Disagree2

26 Feb 2016 16:05:56
How do you come to that??

Agree0 Disagree0

26 Feb 2016 19:54:47
How do you know the manager asked riley to go and report on a player.

Agree2 Disagree0

28 Feb 2016 07:39:57
Totally agree with you Mike and my thoughts excactly although this flackie seems to be Tom Fox in disguise because not heard anyone else try and defend this pile of dump, ! We all need to look at the facts and get rid of Fox, Almstadt, Oreilly and Garde, none of them are good enough!

Agree4 Disagree0

28 Feb 2016 09:12:02
Thats all this flackie does criticise anybody who has a differant opinion to him.

Agree1 Disagree0

29 Feb 2016 09:04:27
I am convinced Flackie must work for the club or maybe he lives with Remi Garde, any mention of criticising the management and they shoot you down? He thinks remi is amazing and only blames the players, but what about tactics and style of play?
I pointed out that the team has got worse under Garde and continues to get worse and Remi said before the Liverpool game that we where fighting together but lost 6-0 then he said that all the players are not fighting together but picks the same team and drops our captain!?

Agree0 Disagree0

23 Feb 2016 20:07:40
Just heard a rumour that Doug Ellis is looking to buy the Villa for his son but perhaps at a cut price once relegated? Sure his son was on the board in the past?

Bit quiet on here lately so I'd like to ask what every one thinks will happen next year will fox be gone learner too? My views are moyes in as manager Lerner will stay and provide funds fox will be gone grellish will stay even tho I hate him but he will come good lescott gone okore will go richards too guzan too kozak too ayew too sanchez too richardson and nzogbia will go . Gardner will flourish in cm so will most the under 21s with a few experienced signings.

Believable4 Unbelievable0

22 Feb 2016 02:56:16
I for one hope remi stays.

Agree1 Disagree0

22 Feb 2016 13:44:48
Sorry but you are dreaming.
Lerner wants rid of AVFC and is more likely to declare the club bankrupt and shut the doors.
Garde will not remain regardless. Any player with ambition will go for very little money, total value £50m.
Lerner has destroyed the business of AVFC but still wants money for a loss producing business.
It looks as if Hollis is looking for the cheapest way of disolving the club and King is looking after the supporters.
I cannot see what hope there is with this group in charge.
The good, the bad, and the ugly. Take your pick.
All only personal opinions by a frustrated supporter of 70+ years.

remi garde has kept villa players training in the uk instead of sum warm winter training so the reason why villa got beat 6.0 by liverpool why did they play so bad well rumour has it that villa players were furious with remi garde after the norwich game instead of praising he's players he said good win but you played awful truth is it didn't go down well with the players and they no longer belive in him right or wrong its intresting my source paul merson!

Believable5 Unbelievable2

17 Feb 2016 14:28:56
MOTD highlighted what we have seen all season with no effort in closing players down compared to Black Cats efforts against ManU! Lack of effort and stats having us as low yards covered by the team over the season has clearly highlighted more about attitude rather than ability! Good ridence to most of them, well done Remi tell them home truths they have let our great club down and I blame our whole scouting and recruiting system plus lack of real options. Learner has starved the club since MO'N with his wages and one in one our policy! What choice have successive gaffers had against this policy!

Agree1 Disagree0

17 Feb 2016 14:32:01
I wouldn't give this lot a wet weekend in Bangor! If they threw their toys out of the pram then shame on them. If want to make a point against Remi do it without hurting the club and die hard fans.

Agree2 Disagree0

20 Feb 2016 00:14:20
I would send them to Siberia, what right do the players have to a break in the sun when they been so below par all season, I feel so bad for Remi, shafted by club promises, players having nerve to tantrum because we won 1 game, not sure what anyone else seen but I thought we was awful 1st half and only couple good breaks and NFC bad finishing let us win, Lerner has truelly F***** our club and it will take frikken years and years to rebuild, scary thing about it is when we go down club will almost lose value, will Lerner sell? Are we stuck with him till he gets around price he wants. Hence prolonged agony and pain, my 1st post in months as been so dissolutioned and depressed that I have no intrest in going games and even watching anything to do with villa, I will always be VTID but I just shrug as we get nailed by every fan in the land and there all right, only few glimmers I've seen this season Amavi, Ayew (still put him as player of season) frustraited maybe at whole situ inc around him Bunn coming in and Sissoko returning has made us a tiny bit tougher but we have been the laughing stock of all English leagues since August, hold on all us die hard loyal fans it's going to be 5-10 yrs to build us back to stable side once again with any kind of respect. :) :) :)

Remi garde definitely leaving Villa at the end of the season I've told you this before but now the board will agree two mutually terminate the contract as it haven't worked from both partys the last game of the season at Arsenal will be he's last. Also the whole playing staff will be forsale as there will be major cut backs! keep the faith villa fans.

Can't blame garde if he walks! He toom the job with the thought he would get this window to improve the squad. He's been hanging inti that since he arrived!

I just don't see why the board are so hell bent on destroying our great club? Are they actively seeking another compensation payment and massive fan
backlash?

Even if lerner now uninterested in the club, he's a businessman, surely he's interested in his investment?!?!

Agree3 Disagree0

02 Feb 2016 16:06:00
Randy Lerner wouldn't come to Villa Park if he was welcome, his lack of interest is a serious part of the problem. How many other chairman watch on average of one game every 3 seasons?

how about we reform as FC VILLA OF ASTON.

05 Feb 2016 22:52:20
I will follow Aston Villa FC even if they fall and fall! Look at Man City and their visit to the third tier. They came back quick we took longer in the 1960s and 70s There is only one Aston Villa regardless of what happens at board and ownership level VTID.

Agree0 Disagree0

06 Feb 2016 00:46:08
So by disagreeing you think FC United is a realistic option for life long Man U fans? AFC Wimbledon is sound because club were moved and renamed so no longer existed. FC Rangers I get because old Rangers disappeared. I would follow Barcelona for the love of the city rather than abandon villa for another English club or follow Sutton Coldfield Town as my home town before some fake villa protest outfit, just my opinion! VTID.

Guys, I get all the talk about the board being responsible for our downfall over a long period, but unfortunately you can't blame the board for not going through with their promises in this window. They HAVE actually been willing to put their hands in their pockets, but any offers we have made have been rejected as the players just don't want to come to the Villa. yes it's only loans, but that still required investment in wages, one off fees etc. Bottm line, it's not the board now, it's just Villa have become flat out unactractive to play for!

Believable2 Unbelievable4

01 Feb 2016 20:19:10
So newcastle sunderland norwich swansea can tempt players but we are un attractive. No our board are un supportive of us the fans, the manager and all the coaches. They are a shambles who won't invest.

Agree3 Disagree0

01 Feb 2016 21:29:35
None of those teams mentioned sit at the bottom of the league with a mountain to climb just to survive,

This is why we are in attractive and players are going to Sunderland Norwich Newcastle Swansea.

Agree1 Disagree0

01 Feb 2016 21:37:18
With relegation all but inevitable, yes we are unattractive compared to Newcastle, Norwich, Sunderland etc. Doumbia is a prime example. Remi Garde said he put hours of time in to try and get him in, his own time, Newcastle put an offer in with no groundwork, and who has he chosen to play for? Any semi decent player isn't going to lower himself to ALMOST guaranteed relegation.

Agree0 Disagree0

01 Feb 2016 14:19:19
its to my understanding remi garde will leave aston villa at the end of season after promises being broke by the board. the board are cutting costs and aren't happy that remi garde hasn't got the best out of the french players so it will be a mutual agreement. I can't tell you how i know but watch this space.

Believable11 Unbelievable2

01 Feb 2016 15:14:14
Not that this is Remi's fault, but if we didn't keep swapping managers maybe we'd have some money for players! Our compensation bill must be ridiculous!

N'zogbia should be disgusted with himself! (I know not relevant but reallgangers me! )

The board and owner need to take a good long look at themselves? Spineless cowards! I'm sure season ticket prices will remain the same despite championship football. Oh well, at least we'll get more games

All we really needed was a striker and that may have given us a chance!

I never thought our great club would be subject to this torture!

I remember garde saying that he was going to put his own stamp on the team and would be backed in January, so now it's February, Lerner and the board screw over the fans and the manager time after time. This is group of people who brought in Mcleish after all.

What was the point of sacking Tim and bringing in reme with false promises of improvements and money to spend only to turn around and bluff, might as well of left Tim in charge as now we will be in the championship looking for another manager, what is going on! Lerner, fox, Hollis and the other muppets couldn't run a bath never mind our once massive and famous club steeped in history, the only thing they have done is made us a laughing stock. Surely a proven striker should of came in even if it cost Lerner millions as the value of our club is dropping daily and with it being the worst financial season to drop out of the prem just proves what useless business people they are.

What I don't get about all that's gone on is Spurs are building new ground (big money) yet can spend big, Redscouse/ Bluescouse can spend big and potentially going to be building new grounds, West Ham must be paying a premium to play at Olympic Stadium next season and can spend big, we own our ground 100% and have a net spend of around £10M? All the teams that you would of thought would be in the mix for being in a relegation battle spend that on 1 player! Get all our kids back off loans now and play them because I bet my horlicks that we get no one in today that's going to get us outta this mess, at least the kids will have no fear, set yourself up for a big loss on your 'investment' Lerner
