Intent to what?Past performance is no guarantee of future performance. He did very well at PNE & Everton no doubt, but equally of no doubt he bombed at ManU and at RS. He may very well work out well, equally he may very well oversee a continued decline. Its a lottery. It's always a lottery it doesn't matter who you appoint, but you honestly believe that hiring Moyes wouldn't be seen as a coup for Villa in the footballing world? It obviously would, and that's what I mean by intent. I understand the point, but it's not really a lottery. That implies just throwing a load of names up in the air and picking one out at random.Whoever they appoint or whether they decide to stick with Garde, it's a risk, but it's a calculated risk.

I think given our current situation, if someone like Moyes genuinely DOES want to come, then it's a gift from God. I simply cannot understand why anyone wouldn't want him here. Then again it's all about opinion...

Personally, I think Moyes could be considered a "safe" choice, whatever that means, but little charisma and a rather dull character.Where's the flair for a Bilic or Flores?
Jeez, there's a lot of snobbery on here.As far as I see, he was given the Man U job on merit. Only a couple of years ago. THE MAN U JOB FFS!!!We're absolutely on our arse and the vibes suggest he'd be prepared to have a crack at turning us round? I'd say turning down an opportunity like that would be a bigger mistake than giving the job to Sherwood, Garde, Turner and McNeill all rolled into one.Especially if you consider what we really could end up with.
How do you equate peoples opinions to snobbery, you're anti Garde which is your entitled opinion, but just because Ferguson recommended Moyes doesn't make him the right man for Villa. He certainly didn't have a lot of success in Spain. He'd probably be a better choice than some of the other names being bandied about, but it's still only peoples opinions
If we absolutely have to have another dour Scot in charge, I can't think of any better than him.He'd probably be a safe pair of hands. I quite liked his Everton side, they used to play good football, although he has a well-deserved reputation for being unable to sign a decent striker and does tend to rely on a lot of goals from midfield.

The only fear for me is we do exactly the same we did with MON, which is not ditch him when we're on the rise. Five years of Moyes frightens me but right now he's probably the best or safest we can hope for. Beggars can't be choosers..
