Garde of Honour

Micah Richards leads the salute for the Villa manager after a 28 match unbeaten run sees the club secure the most unlikely of European slots.

Remi warns his team to be not complacent and caught off Garde.

[olaftab]

Do people think we may finally have a Remidy for our problems?

[brian green]

We will have if he gets them playing to the French letter of the law.  Younger posters get you Dad to explain.

[Des Little]

I'm quite excited. In fact I've got a Remi Garde on.

Or

There's only one Remi Garde

I'm intrigued again by the Villa and I have to say a little excited about the potential of Garde's appointment, should it go through.

Not only has the football looked bad but we've forgotten how to win, Leicester weeks ago is the prime example although the man in charge at the time didn't exactly help matters. Should Garde take over, getting that first win under the belt I feel will be so crucial. It's intriguing to know just how he'll go about it and how the squad responds.

Will he be open, or will he use a more Garded approach?

[SamTheMouse]

Garde would be an appointment with the long-term in mind. So maybe Randy will be more inclined to stump up the cash for him in January to buy a quality striker. I think he'll need to, anyway.

[brian green]

If the French crew take over it would not surprise me in the least if they produced a top notch goal scorer from our existing squad.  One of them, Ayew, Sinclair, Kozak, (slimline) Gabby, Gestede could be transformed with a modicum of serious coaching. My money is on Ayew though I would love it to be Libor after all he has endured.

[nodge]

I don't know if Ayew has played as a lone striker before but he seemed to grow in confidence after his goal last week and if we're going to play Gil and Grealish then he's more likely to pick up a through ball than Gestede is.

I like the fact that Remi Garde has experienced various roles at Lyon from coach to assistant manager to director of football to manager. He was in line for director if football at Arsenal when Dein left if Arsenal had gone down that route.

Reading between the lines it looks as though he works very closely with his coaches as a true team. Very much the foreign model and the opposite to the 'bibs and cones' approach in England.

[brian green]

I most like the fact that he rode out the extreme financial crisis at Lyon brought on by the building of the new stadium. He will be no stranger to being told No by the accountants.
