Former Aston Villa striker Stan Collymore has called on his former club to sack Remi Garde - NOW!

The outspoken radio presenter was commentating on the game for talkSPORT and didn't hold back with his opinions on the French manager.

Collymore raged: "Get Sid Cowans in, get Brian Little in, get the kids in. Let's have passion and pride.

"Sack Garde now, he is clueless and dead in the water.

"He looks like he doesn't want to be there at all.

"It is nonsense for Garde to keep saying they can do it.

"Aston Villa are down and out. I have seen nothing at all to suggest otherwise.

"58 goals against, the last win was when the sun was shining."

Collymore paid tribute to the work being done to reshape the board, but said it isn't enough.

He claimed: "Boardroom changes are being made.

"Villa are trying to bring in people with an incredible football and admin record.

"But they don’t kick the balls.

"What do they do in the summer? Throw these players out? Pay off players like Gabby Agbonlahor?

"Or do they keep most of them, find eleven, see how they get on and then get rid of them in January.

"There is an argument that they should get rid of them all but they can’t get another 12 or thirteen players that they don’t know.

"Who will want to go to St Andrew’s on a Tuesday night and then Rotherham on a Saturday?

"Probably Ciaran Clark, Gestede... that’s about it."
