foreveryoung Posted November 1, 2015 Share Posted November 1, 2015 It is very rare that I agree with Lawro, but you can't argue with what he's just said on MOTD extra. Remi Garde is a huge gamble having never having managed in the PL, and it smacks of the type of decision making we've been making as a club for a long time.Personally the romantic in me wants RG, I want him to come in, get the french guys back on track and play some attacking football to fire us up the league. But that same attitude saw me get very excited about the likes of Veretout, Adama etc coming in the summer... it doesn't always work out like that.Whoever comes is a gamble. I just hope Remi ends up being a Koeman, Raneri, Flores. An not a Advocaat, Poyet or De Canio. All coincidently which were at Sinderland, poor chaps. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tayls Posted November 1, 2015 Share Posted November 1, 2015 Why do I get the feeling Remi isn't coming??because you're a pessimistic (well normal reall) villa fan who has bought into the opinion that it's an exciting managerial appointment who may be able to get us moving forward at last and you are desperately clinging to that hope . Now that there is a slight delay while we try and knock 10% off the compensation to Lyon you worry that the belief you have bought into is not going to happen10%!! How much we paying for crying out loud? Can't be THAT much surely? How many people would join us from Lyon - if it happened? (Which it won't...... I shall remain a pessimist) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr_Pangloss Posted November 1, 2015 Share Posted November 1, 2015 With the compensation for managers and back room staff that this American Idiot has been paying out over the last 6 years, we could have paid a bigger salary for a better manager than what we've had and maybe even sign a couple of players.

The likes of Rodgers of Pearson would be just as big gambles.Not referring to you in particular but this whole "gamble" talk in the media is starting to get on my nerves. What it is is that these ex-professionals are pissed off that Villa are going after some foreigner rather than one of their mates from the old boys network.

Mcleish/lambert/houllier were all signed before with "premier league experience". Ofc lambert/Mcliesh didnt have much of it but anyone who is a good manager with good premier league experience will be close to impossible to get (FatSam was the only one). I really dont know who you expect us to sign 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post sharkyvilla Posted November 1, 2015 Popular Post Share Posted November 1, 2015 If anything Garde is less of a gamble considering the kind of squad we have. If anyone is likely to get the best out of our players, then it's someone who is from a similar background and knows what kind of players they are. The worry about someone with 'PL experience' is that they'll end up using all the cloggers in the squad whilst the potential of Amavi, Adama, Gil, Veretout and Gana get ignored. 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll drink that kool aid for now because goddam things are bleak atm. We deserve a bit of luck in that department.Having had more time to consider it I looked at the team he inherited at Lyon in his first season with the likes of Lloris, Gomis, Gourcuff, Kallstrom, Lovren, Pjanic and you'd expect a certain amount of success with those players. It's not exactly Moyes taking Everton to 4th with the likes of Tony Hibbert and Kevin Kilbane. I believe Garde did however achieve relative success as the big names were sold off, so that is where I hold any hope. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cliffy Biro Posted November 1, 2015 Share Posted November 1, 2015 Anyone managing this club at the moment would be a gamble, with Lerner at the helm our days in this league seem destined to be numbered anyway. Lets hope we get a good young manager who make being a Villa fan entertaining again. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nazvfc Posted November 1, 2015 Share Posted November 1, 2015 If its a 3 and a half year deal you would expect him and his team to stay even if we get relegated right? unless the fans want him sacked and club pays the compensation and we start again and get big Sam and then sack him when the fans get fed up of boring football then we start again until a new owner comes in and then repeat ad infinitum 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
