Who do you want the next Villa manager to be?

[SoccerHQ]

It's not like we're floating around in mid table, we are bottom of the league and can't afford to just throw away games while we wait for a manager.

Worrying parallels with Houllier for me who we also waited weeks for him to draw his pension from the French FA and then shock horror we then struggled up to xmas as the team weren't in great form when he turned up.

How about we appoint Garde now and then get his assistants sorted during the International break, I'm sure he can work with MacDonald who can give him a lowdown on the squad during the next two weeks.

[Clampy]

Amused to see that 116 people think Garde is the ideal choice. I wonder how many had even heard of him before the weekend.

I'm off to find some Eskimos to sell ice cream to.

Hilarious isn't it. Garde, who's that ? Google . He's favourite. He must be good ? Clicks button. Da dahhhh .

Have you thought that those who voted for him just happen to prefer him over the other candidates?

That's a good point Clampy. But to offer a balance, many, I would guess, have read reports about Remi and, whilst they may like what they see, have selected him as a favourite since reading those reports. Arguably not knowing a great deal about him previously. He hasn't managed for a year, I doubt he'd be on the radar of the average fan? Adventurous appointment and I hope it works.

I think people might just fancy a change of direction. Besides Houiller, our last foreign manager was 25 years ago.

He won't come without them and the press gang was abolished almost 200 years ago.

Always quick to have a pop and highlight the fault but not much in the way of suggestions.
Tell us, who is your choice?

He won't commit to anyone ao it allows him to be miserable about everyone else's choice.

[Chris Jameson]

Kevin Macdonald was his choice the other day.

[mr underhill]

heaven knows we're all miserable now

The known British manager hasn't exactly been a roaring success over the last few managers for us. Meanwhile we watch a growing number of lesser clubs appoint little known foreign managers who quickly take their clubs up the league and overtake us. Tough choice.

I voted for Garde and knew next to nothing about him before last weekend
But now having read a few articles and stuff on here I reckon he's the man

That's just the way I roll

[wince]

Sometimes I do a forwards gambol, sometimes it's a backwards one.

That's just the way I roll.

Fick me its James Bond isn't it

[Pat McMahon]

It's looking all the more ludicrous that we decided to wait until after the international break to start our managerial search.

Shit is that true. If so they are bungling morons.

By the by a French mate left me a voicemail tonight re Garde: he reckons he found the job at Lyon a bit stressful and thus resigned. My mate reckons that with only 3 years experience and " a shit group of players" he may not be the right man to dig us out. "Fragile" was the word he used. Only just got in so am too tired to push further on this tonight.

My mate supports Metz so knows the square root of nothing....
