Next Season: Anyone positive

[pauliewalnuts]

I was quite happy with his appointment.

Me too.

I had £20 at 20/1

[olaftab]

There were loads on here wanting him.

I was one.

And me. Who're we talking about?

[four fornicholl]

cant remember the exact timeline but , fk me I hadn't had chance to google him before he was ours?
well done to those that did!?
I do like him though

[brian green]

Not even the trolls and the compulsive miserablists raised objections to Garde's arrival as I recall.

He always fitted the profile of the sort of manager I wanted to see and I have no reason to change that opinion.  When he said in L'Equipe that he arrived at Villa Park in an ambulance he got me. Clever, articulate, understated.

Remi Garde pre his appointment

[Hopadop]

He's got something about him, which at least suggests he could be a great manager for us.

[PeterWithesShin]

Well by the time he was appointed there were loads who on here who wanted him. Or do you actually mean before the rumours we were interested started, which isn't what you first said?

There was plenty of "we need Nigel Pearson or some other thick clogger because of reasons". There is still a bit of it going round that it's what we need for next season

As an aside though, there isn't anything definite yet that says the above position is wrong.

Sorry I knew I  was being frivolous.

According to this -http://www.heroesandvillains.info/forumv3/index.php?topic=54926.0

29% of posters on here from the 500+ who voted wanted Garde before he was announced.

Yes  that je nais ce quoi but we will find out!

[dave shelley]

It's nice to see in the midst of the gloom a person who we seem to be taking to our hearts- Remi Garde, none of us wanted him on appointment
but there appears to be a growing groundswell of support for what he is trying to achieve, any balcony banner designers out there ?
In Remi We trust !

Proof please.

We should be careful not to allow the normal optimism that Villa fans and football supporters in general display get in the way of the stark fact that those who own and run our club (Remi Garde excepted), neither understand the game or care about AVFC. My fear is that we will wallow in the Championship and Lerner will hold a fire sale of the club and we end up with some bunch of clowns like the Bhatti brothers of ill renowned bluenose infamy. If that occurs then what ultimately happens to our club could make the fate of Notts Forest and Leeds look like a picnic. Anybody fancy going to watch us play Wimbledon in a few years time? Because that is where we may be heading unless some megabucks saviour rescues our club from the Lerner calamity. I was around in the late 60's. Believe me that what is happening now is much, much worse than what befell us at that time, because even as we headed for Division 3 we had Doug Ellis and a committed board to put things back together. We have nobody at the top now who gives a fuck.

i like garde and the way he conducts himself.

still not sure he is the right man for us a bit of the right manager at the wrong time, his record since joining us would already have got him the push at a lot of clubs.

his hands are seriously tied with having to work with a shit squad and the fuckwits on the board, i just hope he can get us picking up points and wins until the end of the season so we can get a pride back and have something to build on for next season.

a massive 6 games coming up
