Butterfingers Posted October 25, 2015 Share Posted October 25, 2015 Garde could really turn me round from giving up and accepting relegation. I just can't see it though.I can. We won't have just sacked Sherwood and then begun to think about who is going to replace him.This process will have been going on for some time-As was the case with both Liverpool and Sunderland recently.

MikeMcKenna Posted October 25, 2015 VT Supporter Share Posted October 25, 2015 See my posts below from Ferbuary regarding Remi Garde before we signed Sherwood. I believe we tried to sign him before but for whatever reason he turned us down and that Sherwood was second choice. I would be absolutely delighted if this guy became our manager.

I mean, he ticks all the boxes, for sure, but he's got 14 games left of the season over there and winning the league would be absolutely huge. Would he leave that for us? Another link is "Houllier" and despite what happened subsequently, no one expected his appointment at Villa. Searching further I came up with the following discussing Garde's tactics - I think he would be perfect http://frenchfootballweekly.com/2013/04/28/olympique-lyonnais-the-tactical-debrief/ 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They may not have been the right decisions (in hindsight) but none of them were rash. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
imavillan Posted October 25, 2015 Share Posted October 25, 2015 Lets just accept our fate and appoint Merson.I've never known an ex player hate us so much. Merson? Some of things he says in blind defense of us are ridiculous, I wouldn't say he hated us by any stretch.imo, he is a first class sausage jockey....listen to what he says, clearly shows contempt to all things Villa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MikeMcKenna Posted October 25, 2015 VT Supporter Share Posted October 25, 2015 'En Garde'i feel it in my water. This is going to happen. For those that know little about Remi Garde, here is an article from fourfourtwo in January extolling his virtueshttp://www.fourfourtwo.com/features/why-arsene-wengers-protege-would-be-perfect-man-rejuvenate-newcastle#:NXOk6JyzEMZGhA 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The fact we are in talks with this guy suggests to me that we have been told he would welcome an approach. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PieFacE Posted October 25, 2015 VT Supporter Share Posted October 25, 2015 (edited) Is it not fair to say whoever we get in as manager would be a gamble? Apart from maybe Moyes but it's unlikely he will come really. The safe bet was Fat Sam but we let him go.

We could have been thinking about mourinho for weeks but doesn't mean he would want to come.I think there is a very good chance that something is happening. The fact that the press in France have got wind of it points to that as well. We won't just have been "thinking" about the next manager, contact will have been made to gauge the other parties interest. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
