Remi Garde - Departs Aston Villa

[brian green]

Agree I V.  As for Moyes you have to remember how tribal the Scots are. He probably has ties of friendship with McLeish and Lambert and loathes us for the perfectly justified criticism we heaped on them.  Aston Villa treat Scottish managers unfairly is, to use VID's expression, the required narrative.  Kozak could have left the field with his head in a carrier bag and Moyes would have said no foul.

[Risso]

Little bit of a generalization there Brian.  It might just as easily be true to say that they don't know each other very well at all, or don't like each other much as a result of being on the wrong side of the Old Firm divide.  Who knows.

I am a big fan of Remi Garde. To me, he seems one of the more competent people we have had in a position of authority in the last half decade.

I really hope he sticks around long-term.

I completely agree with this.

I think he really knows what he's doing and where he wants to go.

Let's hope he gets there.

Still not sure about Remi , but what I will stand corrected on, was the fact I thought he was making no progress, that would be a very unfair statement after the last two performances, is it enough to keep us up, if he does I will consider letting my wife has his children.

Take your comment about generalising Riss. Monday morning calls and brevity rules. I do know from racing contact a director of a club at which one of the Scots worked that he is a friend of Moyes.

Mcleish I have on good authority is a very nice guy and the perfect partner over a pint, he is also distanced from the old firm by being a highlander, which most of them have no time at all for the Glasgow bigotry, but also a very proud Scot, so what Brian says I should imagine has alot about it.

McLeish is from Glasgow.

Not sure what other fellow Villa Brothers  and Sisters think but I feel Remy has a certain dignity and class befitting our great club

I like the way he conducts himself , namely class intellect and principles - he arrived and did not accommodate the antics of Jack the Lad or Gabby. He seems to have taken stock of all around him , even going out on a limb and asking the board to give explanations and although looking shocked after the Wycombe game in relations to fans reaction diplomatically stated that it was a wake up call the players needed. I am sure he has time to develop as a manager and I hope he does. I for one was sceptical that he could cut it in the Championship , but I am starting to see that he could cut it there and even keep us up. He is a class act and given half the time us fans gave his pre-predecessors I am convinced he will come good - given the Neanderthal mentality of the modern footballer. In the pas there has been a certain class and dignity with all our managers that were successful and loved Villa with a passion , I hope Remy continues in the same wake. My only reservation is that he might not be able to handle English lady boy mentality of some of our players but he should have no problem with the more sophisticated continental.

Well that's something you've got in common with Randy.

McLeish was a nice bloke but was the wrong bloke. He will always be the most confusing decision made by Villa in my lifetime unless something truly astounding takes place.

I wouldn't be dumb enough to give him a job at the Villa though.

Agreed. Nothing even comes close.

[saunders_heroes]

I don't think he's done nearly enough as a Villa manager for the fans to be waxing so lyrical just yet.
