I get the Ganges part but what was the Gillet experiment? Is that a tablet typo for Gillette and a subliminal reference to the creepy janitor? You late night guys leave this place in such shit order.
I can understand people finding it difficult to credit this inept board with having a credible plan A never mind a plan B - I'm happy to stay in the minority on this but I'm confident Remis been involved with us for months
Always nice when an occasional posters thread turns into an opportunity for puns, piss taking and back slapping - the Chris Evans Show has got nothing on you lot at times x
There might be something in what Eddie is purporting to. As soon as news became official about TS's sacking Remi's name was linked heavily with the job. A name out of nowhere unless somebody can tell me otherwise. A bit like the names, Veretout, Ayew, Gana, Amavi came out of nowhere and certainly not Sherwood players. Sherwood was given his chance which he deserved having achieved what he was employed for but we did have a back up plan with players and manager and the direction we want to go in should we need to. Getting rid of a manager and having a manager in place is a first for Villa. Having a direction regardless of manager is a first for Villa. Gone are the days of, new manager = new (his ) players = new style of play.
I doubt if Arsenal haven't had a succession plan for Wenger in place for years and Remi was on their radar during that time. Fox and Almstadt have been aware of him and at some stage saw him as a potential replacement for Sherwood. No plot, no conspiracy, no duplicity, just taking advantage of prior knowledge.
