Remi Garde - Departs Aston Villa

[Hookeysmith]

This clamour for the likes of Alladyce make me laugh

Bolton
Newcastle
Blackburn
West Ham
Sunderland

Nothing of note with any of them

At least with Garde there is an element of not really knowing what we will get. At least it is something different

[olaftab]

Well I never
Just heard Cascerino on SSN talking sense about Villa and Garde,
Agreed with every word, I never thought I'd ever say that

What did he say john?

[saunders_heroes]

Didn't Cascarino say yesterday that relegation would be good for Aston Villa?
Sod him.

[olaftab]

So what time is the Press conference?

[Comrade Blitz]

He's foreign, I haven't heard of him..

thank fuck for that.....Villa finally stop plucking managers from the Sacked Managers' Numpty Go Round

[dave.woodhall]

So what time is the Press conference?

Not today, for obvious reasons.

[Toronto Villa]

So it appears the new manager does not have a full understanding of the English language.After three years at Arsenal. That is news I did not want to hear.But the Tottenham manager is still learning our language and he did well at Southampton.

Perhaps it doesn't matter.

correct. Seemingly Pochettino, Ranieri, LVG, Pellegrino, Mourinho, Koeman etc etc, none of whom speak English as their first language have managed just fine in this league.

If he can keep us up I'll happily work the shaft and tickle the rim.

I like Veretout from what I've seen.

Also will be good not having a manager guaranteeing that a player plays in a set position regardless as to whether it benefits the team.

Didn't Cascarino say yesterday that relegation would be good for Aston Villa?
Sod him.

It's been reported he speaks English fluently

[Chris Jameson]

Pochettino could speak English when he joined Southampton he just chose not to use it in interviews for some reason.

[Monty]

Pat Murphy's take is predictably chirpy - apparently the suspicion is that these fruity French players might actually be all terrible, and that Randy has gambled majorly with this one.

[aev]

I quite like Pat Murphy. He normally says what he thinks, often I guess based upon the fact the club don't ever seem to throw him a bone. He obviously isn't particularly positive towards us, but lets face it, the last few years have been grim for us so we cant accuse him of purposeful negativity.

[Wiggz]

Seriously though, is nobody worried about this season....like really worried. I haven't dug into it but 4 points in the bag, quarter of the season gone...I'm almost consigned to relegation.

There have always been 3 worse teams than us. I don't think we can say that this year. All of the "bad" ones, bar us, look like they'll spring a freak shock every now and then....we look beaten when we walk onto the pitch.

I'm normally an optimist actually. I was when Sherwood took over too...I thought, long term appointment, young, British...Wilkins coming in was a master stroke.....shows what I know.

I coul;d be wrong about this appointment, and by Christ I hope I am, but I have a "sinking" feeling.

Thanks. I did think that  as I guess we don't want a PC in a hotel near London. Tomorrow would be a good time and place.
