Who do you want the next Villa manager to be?

[Dante Lavelli]

I'll put my *ahem* reputation on the line and say I'd be happy (that alone is unusual) with Remi Garde.  I remember reading about him when he was being linked with the Newcastle job and being jealous that seemed to have such imagination and we were in Lambersherwoodwonderland.

The article below is all I could find:

The MOTD2 boys have just nailed it. Net spend £5m . Shocking.

"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."

Looks very promising Monty

Let's be optimistic. I've been wailing inconsolably about every appointment the club has made for a few years now, so let's hope they pull off the Garde deal and we can applaud them for a job well done. Of course, now I've said that, this'll be the one which gets us relegated.

MOTD just now talking about Sherwood, not a single word about his mistakes, not one.

You've been spouting this same over the top dramatic shit all season, just give it a rest ffs.

That and all of the promising young rising stars from Europe we signed in the summer. As luck would have it, it will be the policy we wanted that will do us in.

We need someone who has decent enough contacts to bring the players we inevitably will need in January to help sort this mess out.

Did they mention the complete lack of having any clue how he wanted us to play? Five at the back vs Stoke? Playing Gestede with no wingers? Or any of the other multitude of failings he showed this season?

Yes, they're well known for their insight, those boys.

It's a massive fucking clique. They'll never slag him off, so I'm not holding my breath waiting for someone to have the balls to say it. I'm glad he's gone and will be even more glad if Garde gets the job because it will fly in the face of all of these jingoistic sycophantic dinosaurs.

No they focused on the loss of all our best players, the inexperienced ones who have come in and said sherwood couldn't sign his choice of players eg. Cambiasso, Lennon, Townsend and Adebayour . Then they mentioned a net spend of £5m and all shook their heads i

Sherwood kept us up as we would 100% have gone down with Lambert and he gave us the semi final day that we'll never forget, brought on Grealish, a surprising yet welcome away win at Spurs & a win over Small Heath, plus Bournemouth away drinking beers on the beach at 6pm after the win was ace.

In between those times however there were few days to write home about and referring to the absolute dross that is now our squad, you'd need a management combination of Dynamo, David Copperfield and Harry Houdini to get anything out of the lot we have. Grealish aside they can all be put on a boot sale where you get enough collectively for your bus fare home and a fruit salad chew.

The only proper thing to do is call on Mike Bassett.

I'm with you guys.  The quasi director of football, the european scouting, emphasis on developing youth players, a manger with experience beyond the premiership...
We're fucked, that's exactly what I've wanted for years!

 I think it will end in tears personally so i hope Garde is not true. Saying that, if they did get Moyes in, I'd probably change my mind such is the board's record of employing arse managers. Anyone but who Randy wants?
