maqroll Posted October 29, 2015 Share Posted October 29, 2015 So we may end up with a manager without his preferred staff damn... We can just throw in some random coaches like we did with Wilkins and Keane that worked a treat If he can't get his assistants it wouldn't surprise me if he didn't come the job of us keeping us up is difficult enough as it is It's okay, he can phone up one or two of his old Arsenal buddies Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is quoted by Le Progres as stating:"Remi Garde to Aston Villa? Yes. My deputies. Under their contract, they do not leave."

Marley the Bognor Villan Posted October 29, 2015 Share Posted October 29, 2015 I had Delph up until summer. I'm sick of changing the bloody thing. Time for Lerner I think. He ain't going anywhere soon.Any chance you can find a group pic of Randy, CNZ, Gabby, Richardson, Bacuna & Guzan? 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DCJonah Posted October 29, 2015 Share Posted October 29, 2015 Surely he'd still come without his back room first choices. He can't put his career on hold until they decide to join him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have no idea if it's a matter of persuading them, you'd assume they would want the step, but other than that I agree. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DevonIsAPlaceOnEarth Posted October 29, 2015 Share Posted October 29, 2015 I do wonder how much convincing the coaches need to leave Lyon to join us in the first place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From what I gather the reference to Garde and the coaches is under the caption at the top but not within the main article? Would have thought more emphasis would have been on that particular question. Not saying it isn't a direct quote but very unsure about it. I wouldn't have thought Lyon could do an awful lot should the coaches decide that they want to go to pastures new. Compensation and timing would be the more likely hold up imo. I wouldn't be surprised if Garde joined and utilised Parkes and McDonald over the next couple of weeks until wrangling's between clubs over compensation are finalised and his assistants can link up.

The Fun Factory Posted October 29, 2015 Share Posted October 29, 2015 I think O'Leary gets a tough time of it on here. Much of his dreadful final year was down to Ellis draining as much cash out of the club prior to a sale - the whole club was full of negativity. You wonder what could have been if Lerner had given him the keys to the safe rather than O'Neill.I would be delighted for a 16th. Even with the blarney about Leeds and not being able to compete with Charlton. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

danceoftheshamen Posted October 29, 2015 Share Posted October 29, 2015 I think we've been down that road repeatedly have we not to no avail!! It's like we are viewed as a second rate club that simply doesn't matter so may as well use us to help break new managers in!Lambert,McCleishSherwood,O'LearyO'NeillTaylor ... etc etc etcOne of those was a new manager, others were established, experienced managers, most (all but McLeish, I'd say) had a good track record. What a bizarre comment.Yes well what I meant was we keep hearing from various sources like Souness & Arry' for example that we should be giving the job to British or young British managers like Pearson and one or two others... My point was, although I perhaps didn't make it clear enough, that we had been down the road of the British manager thing with no success for many years and I feel it's refreshing to see us try a different approach by going for someone like Garde.

jim Posted October 29, 2015 Share Posted October 29, 2015 My mate said there's rumours of Henry as coach. I'd love that, my non-Villa hero but would we lose all our Irish Villans?Nope not here. The whole handball thing is only a pantomime villain thing. Doesn't really bother me. I never particularly took to the man before that, as wonderful as he undoubtedly was as a footballer. I'd have no problem if Garde saw him as adding something to his coaching team. In fact I'd be intrigued to see how good he could be. He could be quite the coup if he can translate his abilities into coaching.I doubt he can otherwise he would be at Arsenal rather than shrugging and spouting rubbish on Sky.He is also on the coaching staff at Arsenal.

Villarocker Posted October 29, 2015 Share Posted October 29, 2015 It doesn't really matter too much who we get in. Whoever gets the job has to work with players sought after by the money men, on a budget that someone on Bargain Hunt would be proud of! Good luck to whoever gets the job, they're gonna need it.
