Remi Garde - Departs Aston Villa

[WarszaVillan]

Let's face it, no manager with an ounce of credibility would risk his reputation coming here under these jokers. 

Rowett is one of the few men in football employed by an even bigger shambles.

Which could be in a division above us next year

There's more chance of us staying up.

I hope you're right, but they are only 4 points off the play-offs with a game in hand

They're shite, don't lose any sleep.

They'll get their cup final in the second division next season.

If Remi went I think Rowett would be my man.

If we are going down the route of ex Blues managers, it would be Hughton for me. 

[ozzjim]

Warbutton for me. Rowett would not come.

Of course he'd come.

[Des Little]

Of course he'd come.

Really? I'm not being funny honestly. Given the shit that McLeish got? Yes, Rowett is a Villa fan but history us against him on this one. I'm not sure he'd be brave enough right now.

IF there's any straw left, that would really be the final one for Villa fans (Blues going up that is)

I'd assume that if we did want him, he'd be bright enough to know that it didn't matter to anyone but the very stupidest that McLeish came from Birmingham, it mattered that he was a rubbish football manager.

His record hasn't been that great recently but I've always thought Steve Clarke would do a good job here, particularly at the level we will soon be at. Thought he did solid work at Albion and never understood why they sacked him as their appointments afterwards of Pepe Mel and Alan Irvine set them back much more.

Well that was because he was crap and relegated them twice. I am sure if he came after he had taken them to say Europa League qualification position in the table we would have treated him differently.

People keep saying about having Moyes as manager.  I think there is more chance of finding cheese on the moon than that happening.  He will go to a solid, mid table PL team not one scrambling to get out of the Championship on a meagre budget.

Moyes will be the next Newcastle manager if they stay up I reckon. McClaren will be potted end of season regardless....watch us then go for him!!

Don't know where to post this but I am just onboard an Emirates flight to Dubai , I am off to Shanghai, and big Ron is  here. Already spoken to him but I will invite him for his favourite tipple when we are in the air and find out what he thinks about is just now.

If you're trying to make us jealous, its working!

Yes and good!

[ozzjim]

I would sooner have Hughton than Clarke. He had been awful for successive clubs

Did you get the lowdown from him then?

Anyway half way through the flight walked past and found Ron and Lady Atkinson sound asleep however an hour before landing Ron, with good memory, came over and sat in the empty seat next to me and we chatted about the Villa for 20 minutes. His thoughts on current situation are actually no different from those expressed on these pages. He does think with Remi we will be straight back😊
