Who do you want the next Villa manager to be?

[Neil Hawkes]

Remi Garde has good write-up online from when in the frame for Newcastle, in our current situation, yes please.
The upside is that whoever comes in they cannot get us any lower than were we are now and as others have said, this is our defining moment and cannot screw it up.

[mrfuse]

Any chance of his first signing being Lacazette?

I can but dream.

[Toronto Villa]

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.

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

4 points back 28 games to go. Long, long way to go. To me this feels like being linked to Andros Townsend and Jake Livermore and ending with Idrissa Gueye and Adama Traore.

I don't know much about Garde but if it's him we just need to all get behind him and the team. We are all in this together.

[JUAN PABLO]

As long as we have an art gallery , we might get him.

[Hopadop]

I don't know much about him, or indeed anything at all about football management, but he's not Rogers, Sam A or Moyes. Formidable.

BMAG, Ikon and the Barber should keep him happy.

[Neil Hawkes]

Well the betting odds are in Remi Garde favour. Was he even mentioned before today? There must be something in it.

[Monty]

It is a bit of a risk, as like Swansea managers he's very much a Lyon insider who hasn't been tested outside the strong club structure there. That said, he did institute big reforms there post-splurge era, so there's a lot of logic here.

That would qualify as a 'good move'.

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

From last season, worth a read.

Thanks, paulie. Sounds promising!

whoever takes over there will be a risk. Even Moyes who knew Everton inside out, coming to Villa, starting again is a risk. But I'd rather this path than the tried and trusted to some degree. At least, when we discuss some level of thought and planning we can say, young French players, young French managers, as opposed to hiring Nigel Pearson or some other lump it manager who won't use our players and we just have to start all over again. If you have ever been a fan of the Arsene Wenger school of football then this is at least encouraging.

Expect the betting on Remi Garde becoming Villa's next manager to be suspended soon.

Could be our Arsene Wenger but he'll most probably be our Pepe Mel.

[Monty]

He's not that young, he's nearly 50! But if he were ten years younger he'd be at Chelsea or somewhere. Like I say, looks like a very sound idea, but let's wait and see.

The first to get a negative comment in, what is wrong with you people?
