Who do you want the next Villa manager to be?

[Toronto Villa]

I expect the first two Garde will kick out the door are Gabby and Lescott. Jokers the pair of them.

Amavi and Gueye have talent, that is not in question. But both have been guilty of dodging responsibility in recent games. Time for some of the boys to man up.

Veretout, Ayew, Gil, Traore and Grealish - our season will hinge on what we can get out of these five for the rest of the season.

Regarding Gabby and Lescott, I would much rather he found a way to make them better and useful contributors.

Gabby on Programms it is then and Joleon drinks carrier.

If he'd put his chance away on Saturday like he should have Tim might still be in a job.

Wasn't it 0-0 at that point?

If Baticle comes and subsequently asks for a year off to write a play and is refused, Fox will send Remi an e mail headed Baticle theatrical sabbatical impractical.

That would be magical.

The most immediate decision he will have to make is what to do about Gestede. He was bought for his heading ability but has looked anything but a premiership player, could Ayew lead the line?

I'd try Ayew first, if not then Kozak, Gestede 3rd, Gabby 4th.  Ayew should be able to, he's a fair size as well.

To think about it the Club said, by appointing KMAC for up to mancity game, that it will take that amount of time to prise the required personnel from their current  obligations and have the full team in place. On that basis I am expecting that it will take most of next week to cross T's and dot I's and Garde may well be at VP on Sunday 8 November.

Watching Kevin Mac today at the press conference Remi Garde can't arrive fast enough. It's a little like how I imagine what playing for Avram Grant might be like.

[LeeB]

Arsene has stated his opinion. Garde should take this offer. Assistants or not.

The master has spoken.

He should jump in himself.

[Risso]

The fact that the players actually followed what MacDonald told them to do on Wednesday at least shows they can be coached. So assuming Garde comes in and tells them more than lump it long to Gestede, then gaining 36 points from 28 games shouldn't be beyond him.

I'm having none of this getting relegated as part of the long term plan.

Quite, I want Garde, but if he relegates us he needs the boot, I don't care how pretty the football is.  28 games is plenty of time to keep us up.

Whoah there, Timelord. We haven't even appointed him yet and you're already wanting him sacked.

I was checking the odds of the next manager on Oddschecker this morning, and noticed that "next Villa manager" was about 5th favourite to get the boot in the Premier League!

Why not go for Kevin Keegan ?

[Tugby Villain]

Why not go for Kevin Keegan ?

Please say this is sarcasm.

[olaftab]

Why not go for Kevin Keegan ?

I would prefer Bobby Charlton myself!

[ozzjim]

But it will be 26 games realistically by the time he is in. Add into that games against the top 4 sides and it is a pretty tall order.

Haha, true.

Hypothetically he has had -10 days so should have sorted out the problems by now.
