Remi Garde - Departs Aston Villa

[gpbarr]

If we stick with this guy (irrespective what happens this seaon - if we go down it will largely not be his fault), we may reverse the horrible trend of the last 5 years. If this is another short term option, we will get everything we deserve (and are getting what we deserve).

... although some were saying this when Dim Tim came in.

Precisely. It was a knee jerk appointment, and we got what we deserved.

I was to be clear nervous about Remi but having read and heard a lot in the past 24 hours, including some really good comments on here, I see it more clearly now. This feels very different - progression at last. Thats why he needs time and why we need to give it to him irrespective short term results. If we go down with a fight, playing better football, then for gods sake lets back him to get us back up and keep building.

And, most importantly, if we need to change again future then stick with a new man of a similar style.  It is the flip flopping that kills us.

By the way, both Woodhall and Walnuts owe me a nice bottle of wine based on the appointment I believe!

Yep passing, attacking football is the way forward. Whatever happens this is the course we need to pursue.

Without a doubt. I reference it in my latest piece for the fanzine. The reason Swansea and Southampton went past us is because of a consistent recruitment plan on the playing and managerial side. We have wobbled more than a Weeble.

I thought so too. Loved the comments about language. He fully gets it for both sides.

Loved his first interview.
Very impressed with his comments about the players, they are all equal and he is not here to make things easy for the French guys,

He seems thoughtful and considered.

Again, the very best of luck Remi.

Sorry if its already been mentioned, but does he remind anyone else of Gary Speed? One of my favourite non-Villa players. RIP Gary.

[Legion]

No.

Speaks very well in the interview and I get a good vibe from him, I like the fact he says all the players need to speak English in the dressing room not French or whatever.

If there were/are any cliques then everyone speaking the same language will help to dissuade that from happening.

Welcome Remi I'm sure you will do your best by Us- I just hope it's enough.

Good interview. Very pragmatic fella.  Whatever happens this season we should stick by him and give him 3/4 seasons to rebuild the team into a competitive PL outfit.

Really impressive interview.

Fingers firmly crossed now.
