Who do you want the next Villa manager to be?

[Stirchley Villain]

Aulas is digging in. He's been interviewed in Le Progres and has said: "Remi Garde to Aston Villa? Yes, without my deputies. Under contract, they do not leave." Bit depressing really.

They'll leave if they want to.

Surely it's to be expected. I'd be surprised if he said the opposite because I'd then question the value of employees that anyone would give up without a fight.

Are these coaches contracts bound in blood or something? We need to stop pissing around and sort it out. If they want to come they should quit and make the move.

The coaches have, like Garde, a long stranding relationships with Lyon. There is a certain amount of honour and loyalty that needs to be factored in. I'm assuming the deal has been agreed but Lyon need to find two first team coaches to replace them before they let them leave.

[Matt C]

Surely Lyon are only doing what we'd want Villa to be doing in the same circumstances?

You are very keen on Italian football too mates, congrats. But do not forget Biglia, that plays in my Lazio! 

It's great Sunday evening viewing here. I've done quite a few grounds in Italy. Sampdoria is next on the list.

Excellent choice, mate. Beautiful city (Genova), best Italian stadium with San Siro, no athletic track, and great atmosphere inside: pure English style!

Sherwood and Wilkins are available.

Well they said he wouldn't come without them? Someone is wrong somewhere

They could get work for the odd day trip to London.

If Garde wants a premier league job he is going to have to find himself 2 new assistants clearly. Did he play with Keown? Always thought he was quiet a good talker about the game. What about Pires as a coach? Or Christopher wreh?

I'm sure this is more complicated by the fact this is mid season. I want us to get this done as quickly as possible but I'd rather we did this correctly than jump to a compromise managerial candidate.

[aev]

Lets face it, even at our recent best the next 2 games are pretty tricky to get anything from.

[ozzjim]

They are. Both sides in good form and we are not. Almost tempting to their caution to the wind and play 3-4-3 type formation and really have a good go.

[OCD]

Another formation. They should just settle on a 4-2-3-1 with the best suited players to play it and stick to it for a while. It sounds like that's one of Garde's favoured formations.

I think Remi Garde will try to force Duverne and Baticle to come with him and if they won't come he will get somebody else. He missed out at Newcastle and wanted the Brighton job. His overriding motivation is to get his management career back on track.
