Who do you want the next Villa manager to be?

[garyshawsknee]

I think Garde would be a good choice if we were mid table, but we need to get this right, the biggest choice we have to make in our history. Get in someone with the points ratio of our last two managers and we will go down.

The worst thing about having a French manager is John Motson pronouncing their name. Its Jerrrrard Oooliyay all over again.

The best one was his attempt at OGS.  Sol-sky-rer.  Sol-sk-yeah is closer.

the worse one was Didier DrogBAR with emphasis on BAR

Come on, spill the beans.
I'd be as happy with Moyes as I would with Garde. Maybe more so, although that's not to say I'd mind Garde as I can see some reason behind it.

Precisely. We need someone who knows this league inside out to prepare us for the battle ahead which will get ugly, not another rookie.

You've said pretty much nothing.

Its remi grade. He wont come without his no.2. lyon wont let him go.

"They won't let him go" does not happen these days. It's just a matter of a person's will to leave and rest is £££.

Im sure . When they release him . I dont even know who he is or where he is at regarding lyon. But garde wants him .

My sources have just contacted me to confirm they are in for Rene Artois! Interview later today

Good. I look forward to a distinct improvement in HT coffee at VP. Michelle and Helga also coming?

I seldom leave home without a no.2 these days.

Yet ironically Sherwood actually got us out of the shit last year by getting the team playing football, while it went to shit this year when he moved away from that.  It hadn't been great, but hadn't been as woeful as it ended up until after Leicester when he lost the plot and tried to do god knows what.

Moyes is Allardyce light.  Functional, perfunctory, soulless. He MIGHT make staying up a more comfortable experience this season, but within 12 months people will be agitating for "the next level" again. Someone like Garde has just as much chance of keeping us up and will definitely have more chance of moving us up the league in the following couple of years, unless you believe that the only way is to keep paying over the odds for players already in the PL as per the MON model and the one Sherwood apparently wanted, (or is that really why he was binned, lifting the lid on how unreasonable the transfer philosophy was this summer?)

Still waiting for you to answer when should Lerner have been allowed to reign in the spending from a few days ago by the way.

Well that's an improvement as the last few weeks, the only way to watch the Villa was to sit down with Stella Artois.

I've let go several number twos this morning. Lyon want to be careful, that behaviour can lead to piles.
