Since we aren't having to pay compensation for Garde, and I doubt the coaching staff at Lyon earn as much as most premiership staff, surely buying out there contacts would work out cheaper than most other options. If we mess this up on this over the money we don't deserve getting anyone good. My main worry would be if the coaching staff don't want to come.
You know, you might be on to something there. I've noticed that they are all men too, clearly men don't suit Villa so we shouldn't bring any new ones in. Come to think of it, they'd all have two legs too. Monoped's only from here on in.
Our recent record with British players/managers is pretty bad. Clearly they means they don't suit villa and we shouldn't bring any new ones in. That rules out most of the other names suggested on here.
If this doesn't happen and we end up with some rubbish but with English football experience. I'll cry just look at how many players/manager's that's worked with recently we've had.
