DCJonah Posted November 5, 2015 Share Posted November 5, 2015 I really think the Houllier health problem was a lot more of a bump in the road than people give it credit for. We'd gone in a new direction, we were becoming a bit more continental in our style of play and towards the end (under McAllister's caretaking) we picked up again after the bumpy transition from MON's traditional counter attacking style.It all really went to shit after that. Hopefully this will be what we were trying to do all those years ago and it'll work out this time.if that was true, why didn't we stick with that approach? Why did we then hire McLeish? And then Lambert and Sherwood? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VILLAMARV Posted November 5, 2015 Share Posted November 5, 2015 Looking back over the last few years I'm starting to cast Lambert as the manager who couldn't coach and Sherwood as the coach who couldn't manage. Wonder what we've got this time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post piav_k4 Posted November 5, 2015 Popular Post Share Posted November 5, 2015 Video from Garde's first training session at Bodymoor Heath. This is deeply concerning and it's no wonder we are in the shite! I've been watching for 10 mins and the defenders haven't even got close to touching the ball. Remi out! 18 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Villan4Life Posted November 5, 2015 Share Posted November 5, 2015 Looks like Peter Stringfellow wannabe Gerry Francis is jealous!! http://www.birminghammail.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/aston-villas-appointment-remi-garde-10389937 West Bromwich Albion first team coach Gerry Francis believes Aston Villa's decision to appoint Remi Garde is a strange one. The Baggies coach told Sky Sports: "I think it's a little bit strange. “This is my 15th year in the Premier League and it's the toughest league in the world, there's no doubt about it. “Remi is coming in and he's had a bit of time at Lyon and played in the Premier League for a while, but this is a really difficult league. "He's going into a team that is having a difficult time, and has had a difficult time for a number of years now and it's not going to be easy for him. "We'll have to wait and see how in transpires for him.” And then we look at Gerry Francis managerial stats and wonders how he can criticise anyone 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Gerry. Very insightful. Straight out of the Alan Shearer book of punditry. The fact it has absolutely zero bearing on Garde or anyone else's ability to get us out of the hole is neither here nor there. In Gerry's defence, Sky no doubt stuck a mic in his gob and asked for his thoughts. The fact he has insulted no-one in the process must be a positive. I'll give him a pass on this one.
