Remi Garde - Departs Aston Villa

[Toronto Villa]

As it now appears incredibly close a huge welcome to Remi Garde and staff to Aston Villa. You have a huge opportunity to make us great again and end the last few years of misery. Best wishes!

Bonjour Rémi Garde! Bon fortune!  Up Le Villa!

[CT]

Welcome Remi.

Make us proud again! UTV

He's going to be great and lead us to world domination.

He'll be average and we'll plod along for a couple of years before moaning we should be better.

Pathetic, that's us down.

*Now I can claim I called it first!

I've altered the title in a not-tempting-fate-type way.

[PeterWithesShin]

In reality, he'll do for me. Nice to have someone that will actually have a plan!

[ciggiesnbeer]

Excellent news. Welcome!

I wanted Moyes, but sod him, I'm right behind our new manager. All is not lost and it's not like we're getting thrashed out of sight every week. Plenty of twists and turns to come and I fully expect Garde to get us out of this mess.
Onwards and upwards!

yes please Merci

I was in the 'no' camp for the previous two managers but definitely a 'yes' for this one. 
Well done Fox and co.

Excited. An appointment that seems to be thought out and logical rather than picked out of a hat like some of our managers seem to have been.

Be nice if he can give the team a spring in their step ahead of tomorrow. After results have gone out way this weekend, even picking up a point would feel like a massive step in the right direction.

Bon chance M Garde!

CREME DE MENTHE!!!!

I can imagine that the two French lads and previously French based lads will sleep well tonight. As will most of us.

He's got a hell of a job on here and I hope he can hit the ground running. On paper he looks a great candidate for the role, and I feel a bit excited about Villa again. I hope they give him a few quid in January too.

Seems a really sensible appointment. Contrast the articles written about his managerial style with those of Sherwood before and it is night and day.
