It's heartening to know someone else cares even if he is treating us like his nursery club:

"For Aston Villa, Remi Garde has become a priority because Arsčne Wenger has pushed them to go for the former Lyon manager. Wenger has reportedly encouraged Chief Executive Tom Fox and Sporting Director Hendrik Almstadt to appoint Garde, the latter individual of course being a former employee at Arsenal.

Garde is very much considered by Arsčne Wenger as a possible replacement for him at Arsenal, but Remi Garde must prove his credentials in the Premier League first."

If that is the case Garde would be a pointless replacement as rumour has it that Le Prof is off in the 2017 season.

I don't think Garde does long contracts. I think I read he wanted and had a one year rolling contract at Lyon.

I don't see a problem with that  given our current predicament. Wasn't MON always on a similar arrangement?

I'm not gonna lie to you , I've got a very bad feeling about this managerial search and more generally this season as a whole .

Really? You didn't say anything. Assumed all was fine with you.

Well if silhill is starting to worry then something's awry. Bollocks. I was really enjoying today until reading that. Double bollocks.

How do you mean, bad? Are you not going to be able to warn us any more. I really would miss your Woe, Woe and thrice Woe.

For Garde to actually be considered as Wenger's replacement he's going to have to do extremely well with us first.

As in recent years we've tended to turn managers into league one fodder, that's going to be some improvement.

My fear is around which sane , quality manager would come? I think we are very much in what i would call a sub prime managerial search , or someone unhinged like Pearson or Ranieri

Remi Garde would seem to have an interest. It's been in the papers a bit today.

Let's just hope that he is not interested in early retirement with a fat cheque from being paid off when sacked... O'Neill, Houlier, TSM1, TSM2 and now Sherwood. Have I missed anyone??

SSN just saying they've spoken to a "Senior source at Aston Villa" in the last 10 minutes.

This source said a number of quality managers had contacted the club regarding the job and that process was now underway.

Fantastic. Club without Manager looking to recruit manager.

Roughly translated as, "Go check out Skybet, viewers, and have yourselves a little punt."

Obviously not sane or quality. After all why would anyone want to manage in the PL and get paid handsomely, with an opportunity to restore a great club to glory and enhance their own career? I agree we should be setting our targets much lower. I too am worried we are acting above our station here and we need to accept that all will be shit forever. Raise the white flag.
