Who do you want the next Villa manager to be?

[Stu]

That would qualify as a 'good move'.

I know bugger all about this bloke, Monty. What's the lowdown?

[Tayls_7]

It's not bully boy Pearson, so that's good. The players we are trying to assimilate he has excellent knowledge of. From a distance I'm pleasantly encouraged.

From last season, worth a read.

That would qualify as a 'good move'.

At the very least there would be a bit of logic and common sense behind it.

That'll do for now.

[Ron Manager]

I would imagine he speaks English as he was at the Arsenal for some time. I can just about remember his name. Everything is falling into place.

I think he may be a popular choice.

Oui, la rumeur Remi Garde a Villa est credible

[Toronto Villa]

That would qualify as a 'good move'.

Nods and sees where this might be relevant to the players we have at the club today

Possibly influenced by his time under Wenger, Lyon moved to a version of 4-4-2, with the versatility of his young vibrant players often making it a joy to watch. It would be easier to label the formation 4-3-1-2, with captain Maxime Gonalons at the base of the midfield diamond, either Clement Grenier or Gourcuff at the tip and a mixture of hard-working, dynamic midfielders either side.
Gonalons sitting deep would allow the full-backs to push on, and left-back Henri Bedimo contributed nine assists in Garde’s final season. Playing two up front also helped accelerate the rise of Alexandre Lacazette. Moving in from the right wing, the forward would find space across the final third and use the physical presence of Gomis to spearhead the Lyon attack.

mais oui..mais oui....toujours toujours as our former manger might have said

[Mister E]

My garded response is that it is interesting, exciting and very risky ... But why not? As someone else said: he'd can't do much worse than DT and TSMII

[PeterWithesShin]

We're merde, and we now we are.

Risky coin flick of an appointment if true.

A bit like all of our summer signings, there's  probably good value cost wise over in France. It's worked with the players so why not the manager....face palm emoticon.

As in the summer, it almost smacks of us acting with a bit of idea. I hope it is not too late

[Ormy Droid]

I'm intrigued, but suspicious too. This seems just too darn rational an appointment for our club! It's just a shame they didn't have the cojones to make this change in the summer to go along with the new transfer policy. Now we're bottom, he's going to be under a lot of pressure straightaway, and if we go down, is he the man to bring us back up?

[cdbearsfan]

I'd definitely give Garde a chance. I've been suggesting Rene Girard for ages. Garde may well be a younger version.
