Who do you want the next Villa manager to be?

[silhillvilla]

Garde now 1/4 on bet365

[Ger Regan]

It's a risk, but one seemingly made for the right reasons. I'd be happy to give him a go, at least.

[Sexual Ealing]

Where's Randy's plane?

What about the Poxy Board.....these fuckers aint  got a clue How to Run a Football Club.

In any crap company...the rot always starts at the top, The villa business plan must be written on a couple of sheets of bog roll.

Villa need a dictator who will run the show with an iron fist....a character who cares nothing about reputation, except your last match.

[Rudy Can't Fail]

He's just what we need. The players are going to be more excited than the fans if we manage to close the deal. Nine years too late in bringing in a manager of this ranking but better late than never. There's so much to admire about him but I read the other day he turned down the manager/head coach role at Lyon as he didn't think he was ready. Chancer he ain't.

The press are going to be in shock if we pull this off. Newcastle fans are going to be jumping off the Tyne bridge and Percy will be gloating at the 'art scene' in Birmingham.

My old mans reaction was that's us down then lol so many people will be unsure over it.

I like that with a very european squad we might get a manager who can use them. Spirit a centre forward up to use with them and we might be ok.

1/16 on WillHill

But yeah Canal Plus have reported it and they are his currently employers. So this is happening.

[Malandro]

Moyes, Garde, Pearson or Lord Lucan - I hope its Randy's last manager.

[GarTomas]

Interesting that Sherwood's staff all got the sack this morning as well, suggests that they've got someone to replace him already, which would tie in with the Garde rumours, I guess - he's been working for French tv, not in football, so no pissing about with compensation or talks etc etc.

Except Tony Parkes which I thought was interesting if nothing else.

[BoskoDjembaSalifou]

I'd love us to go for Montella, but I'll settle for Garde. Good appointment if it happens.

Chuffing 'eck. An MK-approved (potential) managerial appointment. Truly end of days.

[Stu]

There is clear logic to the appointment, which is a start. If Garde comes in and we still go down then at least I can see what the club were trying to do, which is in contrast to the Sherwood appointment.

Also begs the question why Garde wasn't approached back in February. Any particular reason for that?

[Mister E]

I hope sherwood maintains some dignity now and doesn't start running the club down to his media mates.
I always respect McLeish for never doing this.

I bet he does just that, the big twat.

I also look forward, should we appoint Garde, to the inevitable 'those bastards at Villa, sacking English hero Sherwood for YET ANOTHER foreigner in the Premier League' type articles in the press. I also look forward to them disappearing as we career up the table using the same set of players.

Maybe not Gestede as a standard starter though.

Sorry, this could be buried in the thread somewhere but who is this fella?

Kozak?
