Guest av1 Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 Well in the summer we was all buzzing about the arrival of Ray Wilkins and that didn't turn out to well. Let's hope we as fans have this one wrong as well. # not doubting his ability, just reference to the underwhelming nature of the appointment.

HanoiVillan Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 What on earth made Nixon decide to give that announcement a big build up? Now he just looks like a tit. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villan-scott Posted January 23, 2016 VT Supporter Share Posted January 23, 2016 Gardes choice according to Percy in the Telegraph, also Black is fluent in French from his time at Metz apparently and was 'headhunted' by Garde. I back him with this, he knows what he's doing. It'll help to further integrate the French contingent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

useless Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 I think I'm right in saying he also coached under Barnes at Celtic, to add to the list. I'm sure he'll do fine though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

a m ole Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 It's weird of Nixon to make out like an assistant manager is exciting news and something we really need and good news with a week left in a transfer window. He made the tweet something to get worked up about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He made the tweet something to get worked up about. Didn't he do something similar earlier in the season? I may be thinking of someone else but i seem to remember something like 'big news from Aston Vila tomorrow' and it turned out to be a negative story.

I guess he knew we were desperate for some good news and he was aware this was likely to be the best news he would be able to give us during this window. Welcome Eric. Can I be the first to mention that we could do with a new striker? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hardly a rant though Stevo, please! You have a point though I won't pretend otherwise. you see I'm not really a believer in the gentleman's ability to play for our great club. but do me a favour Stevo, put your hand on your heart and tell me I'm wrong, do you really honestly believe he's good enough?

No I don't. It's just funny, I never see you post about anything else.

Who has been acting as assistant manager and what was the name of the guy that Garde wanted to bring with him from France but we couldn't get?

I believe it's been Reginald Ray standing in as Asst Mgr. Can't remember the others' names, but it was two of them from Lyon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
