Who do you want the next Villa manager to be?

[Steve67]

I voted for moyes but I don't think he'll come mainly because of the Lerner situation. He'd want guarantees on money and signings and lets face it, Lerner doesn't know if he'll be here in 6 months. It will be someone without a current stable job or someone at a club where the rise in wages would prove the main attracton

Or it might be Remi Garde.

What no article I have read on Sherwood's dismissal addresses is that if Sherwood got his way in the transfer market we'd have splashed out stupid amounts of money (fees and wages) for overpriced shit like Townsend, Adebayor or Lennon. Thank fuck the club stopped him from doing that.

That's probably paid for his compo.

It would definitely have been batty

His compo is a fraction of it.

Does seem Garde is not as close as being said in France

moyes would be such an uninspiring appoitment. the bloke is failing badly in Spain so why bring hime here to fail again. Its because he is working with the type of players we have that it is not working out for him.

Not sure about Remi Garde. It's a bit leftfield, maybe Wenger and Houllier have had a word with our CEO and Owner respectively.

Not far off, according to The Guardian:

Privately Villa accept that Sherwood, who will be granted a £2m pay-off, is not solely responsible for the mess that the club find themselves in. Whether the need for improvements elsewhere extends to the transfer policy – which is overseen by Almstadt and Paddy Riley, the director of player recruitment, and is an area that became such a bone of contention for Sherwood – remains to be seen.

Where does that mention Houllier and Wenger having a word?

Three facts to bear in mind:

1. Whoever is appointed is going to be shite and will get us the odd win in 10.


2. The club is in dire straits from the bottom up and this appointment will be like putting a sticking plaster on a major wound that needs surgery

3. We are f*cked.

Julien Laurens on Twitter:

"Latest on Garde and Villa: talks progressing well. He wants the job. They want him to come too. Still some way to go but looks good to me."

Yes, we may as well cancel our remaining fixtures and shut the club down.

Fuck's sake

Looks very promising Monty

A two tier continental approach with Halmstadt as DOF and Garde as Head Coach? This is another complete gamble but one which might bring out the best in the players that we currently have. Personally, I'd rather go with Hughes or Moyes if they wanted it but this is potentially very interesting.

It's the way the club needs to go anyway. Whether the personnel we have in board positions, coaching and on the pitch are good enough remains to be seen but another British megalomaniac is not what we need as a club.

The one positive so far this season is that Sherwood wasn't allowed to bring in his old boys club of Lennon, Townsend and Adebayor. Lescott should be the first casualty of the new regime and Gestede doesn't really fit in with the rest of the players we have available.
