Who do you want the next Villa manager to be?

[LeeB]

That is absolutely shite, isn't it? I mean those kinds of stats should trigger some kind of public enquiry.

[peter w]

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 .

Yeah, but $47.84 a barrel. Even with our net spend we could afford 160,403.95 barrels of Brent crude. That's about six each for every season ticket holder. Got to be happy with that

*applauds*

A damning piece in The Mirror by Dave Kidd concludes:

Garde did a decent but unspectacular job as Lyon manager but his likely appointment is regarded as one designed to best safeguard the positions of Fox, Almstadt and Riley – a compliant ‘head coach’ who could be expected to make the most of Villa’s summer foray into the French market.

Good luck with that.

There’ll be few tears shed for Sherwood, and with a £2million pay-off why should there be?

But while Villa are run by self-interested middle managers, who seem incapable of trusting their own instincts, they are heading towards the Championship. And deservedly so.

Aston Villa have been smothered by a lack of ambition and are mismanaging their way into the Championship

This is my fear and if I had he skill I would attach my similar comments from several days ago. The comment "that while Villa are run by self-interested middle managers" is pretty daming if true.

[mrfuse]

Not against the Garde idea but my only reservation is that he's only got one job on his CV.

Agreed. He's still a rookie and we should steer well clear.

This is the fear . We are shopping in the sub-prime market . This decision is massive for the club, arguably the most important in the history of the club.

Yeah this my worry and Garde is a Gamble we can't afford to lose on.

[peter w]

To be honest it all has a feel of being of just too desperate at the moment. Hope is all fading and unlike most seasons I think quite a lot feel that this is a season too far. The fight has been sucked out of us. Whoever comes in is unlikely to turn what we have around. If that person does come in and do it then great. But I think we look too much of a disjointed mess to salvage this one.

If only we'd 'done a Lyon' when Liverpool came a knockin' for Benteke. "No, we absolutely refuse to allow you to speak to us. And likewise, we're refusing to let ourselves listen to you."

Don't get us all started on buy out clauses for Gods sake.

But what's to stop another club bidding more and than starting a bidding war?

Nothing.

[Nastylee]

Then why didn't Barry take the penalty?

Our favourite debate. We couldn't wait until the January transfer window could we?

Keep playing with fire you eventually get burnt.
We are ablaze, and the fire is I fear out of control.

Its nearly as hilarious as Agent Ridgewell or Why didnt Barry blah blah.
Side splitting stuff.

Quite right. Barry didn't take the penalty as his pants were still powdered.

My dad said allways fight fire with fire, which is probably why he got thrown out of the Fire Brigade

Any more red top clichés you fancy about our doom??

Garde seems to be fairly well respected as a coach and manager and clearly Sunderland and Newcastle both felt he was worth going for too, before they appointed their current incumbents. Moyes doesn't want it that's going to be made pretty clear, he won't leave Spain unless pushed. Rodgers most Liverpool fans seen to think has ruined himself or at least list his way to the extent he needs time away and might be too big a risk even if would come. I hope we have a plan b that does not include Pearson!

Wow big deal another self interested media hack writes bollocks about Aston Villa with poorly researched shit and sweeping generalisations. It's the Daily fucking Mirror people. His casual swiping away of Garde's record at Lyon really shows him up to be the essence of that Football365 article earlier, a small minded little Englander.
