Don't think this has happened at other clubs so maybe Villa will break some new ground here as well as our Guinness Book of Records-breaking poor performance this season. Not physically 'kick out'. As in, actively try to sell them. If they have a short contract left off a mutual termination. etc... etc... but you knew that anyway, 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Woodytom Posted March 24, 2016 Share Posted March 24, 2016 Neither would I. Would be very refreshing and imo, is what the sport needs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hippo Posted March 24, 2016 Share Posted March 24, 2016 If the club say he is going - in advance of agreeing remis pay off - then he is in a strong position to get a better payout. Probably the club are banking on the fact that Remi wants out so are only offering a small pay off. With no game this weekend - both sides can play hardball - as the next game approaches - I don't think Remi will want to take charge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PieFacE Posted March 24, 2016 VT Supporter Share Posted March 24, 2016 I saw earlier that apparently David Moyes has "told his friends" that he's keen on the Villa job. If we could attract him, we should definitely get rid of Remi. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I too believe he wants out and the club are using this as their bargaining tool and he's probably thinking if I walk I get f@*k all but if you sack me I get 3 yrs salary. Can't blame him really, the French are stubborn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't blame him really, the French are stubborn. I don't think any managers get their salaries paid up in full any more. The payoff terms will be in his contract that he signed with all the various scenarios. (I.e failure to keep villa up). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Erm no it shouldn't as it's a two way street. Players could turn around and say actually I want to leave here is my notice and the club wouldn't get a penny. Football would collapse in on it itself.

They should have made one days ago, when it was all over the press. Either they're still wrangling over the details, and he's on his way out, or, despite the new board, our club is absolutely shocking at PR.

DCJonah Posted March 24, 2016 Share Posted March 24, 2016 I'm hopeful the delay is down to working out compensation while convincing Moyes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sne Posted March 24, 2016 Share Posted March 24, 2016 As long as we get the right guy in I'm not really fuzzed if it's today, tomorrow or in the summer. This season is a lost cause, and hopefully not many of the current players will be here next season. Bringing in someone at this point might be good, but it might just as likely do more harm than good. Club is toxic at the moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
