With Remi Garde’s move to Aston Villa beginning to stall a little, Aston Villa are starting to look at other managerial options. The two names that have surface in the media is Gus Poyet and Christophe Galiter. Poyet is out of a job since being sacked by Sunderland, while Galiter currently manages French side Saint-Etienne. Some sources also believe it looks increasingly unlikely that Villa will have a new manager in time for Villa’s Premier League game against Tottenham.
Let’s start with Gus Poyet, Skysports reported that Aston Villa are going to consider Diego Poyet because of his attacking style of play. But honestly, his recent managerial record has not been great. Poyet isn’t greatly experienced and was sacked from the Sunderland job. Poyet was managing Sunderland during a Sherwood’s Villa 4-0 at the Stadium of Light. Prior to the Sunderland job he did manage Brighton. But his win% isn’t too impressive. He managed to win 44.33% of games in the Championship, which is rather mediocre, while at Sunderland just 30.67% of games. I don’t know how likely this could happen but it appears as Villa fans would be furious if he was brought into the club.
Secondly, is Saint-Etienne manager Galiter. Galiter has managed Saint-Etienne since 2009 and in the process won the Couple de la Ligue in 2012-13 season. He has also managed Marseille for a short time period and Aris Thessaloniki (Greek club). His win ratio is 42% so slightly better than Poyet’s overall. Galiter has earned a good reputation at France by developing the likes of Matuidi, Payet, Sako, Kevin Miralles, Aubameyang, Zouma and Max Gradel during his stint at the club. One draw back for Villa would be that they’d have to pay compensation for Galiter, while Garde is a free agent.
If the Galiter rumour is true, it seems as though Villa’s board will continue to look at France for player and staff arrivals as Villa look to bed in some of the many French league players brought in this summer.
Narrow loss – that’s okay with me.
At least whoever is coming in will be able to focus on the league in the near future.
Just wish I knew who the bloody hell it was though!
didn’t see a lot of fight there hutton with a bit of fire but still switching off for the second, crespo looks the par,tgrealish or ayew did nothing for me, think bacuna had been told he was off at 60 minutes and did fuck all in second half
Bloody hell I’ve got it right 2-1, who scored the goal.?
Sinclair – penalty
Defence was at fault for the two goals. We lost tonight , I was glad we scored it give me something to cheer about.Times are bad.
Hear that the Villa fans are getting some plaudits on Twitter even from Saints fans.
They’re the best thing about the club!
Just hope they have something to really cheer about before too long.
UTV
Amen
where are kozak traore llor come on villa explain why paying wages but 3 appearances between them
There is some ability in this squad but there are some liabilities too namely Guzan, Westwood and the centre defence but IF we get the person in charge and with fortune and favourable wind we should be alright.
Right person.
dont know how you can say Westwood is a liability he’s a water carrier never been an attacker he links the play between back to front if played properly every team needs one even though sherwood tried to play him more forward i think he still has one of the most completed pass stats in the premier
Football’s about opinions mate and it’s nothing personal against the lad, I hope he has a long and successful career and matures into a great player but he just don’t do it for me as a player. He imo just ain’t a premiership quality, as I posted the other day he lacks any range of passing. Ok stats might say he made x amount of completed passes but they’re all sideways.
billys boots
westwood might be all right in ateam attacking not one that has 4 fullbacks 2 centre halfs 2 holding mids and gabby
On another topic Man Ure out!!! Well done Middlesborough
On another topic Benteke is injured, again.
There’s a surprise. These people saying we would be better with him we all know he would be injured most of the season and would be unfit now anyway. He is good for a dozen games a season that it. He is getting as bad as Sturridge.
Agreed OohAh. Look back at his time at VP and see what’s the longest uninterrupted run of appearances he managed?
There were some at the time who suggested that it was because he didn’t like playing for McLeish or Lambert, etc. – but seems he’s having the same problem whoever he plays for. Sure that the Bindippers are wondering how much they’ll see of their £35m man.
Agree ardent he will probably get them 15-20 goals but will have a 10 game purple patch like he did for us where most of these goals are scored. He won’t score for them when it really matters though.
He scores more playing in half a season than Gabby does in 3 seasons. So I’d still rather have him playing!!!
Spot on, Helenius.
Agree but my point is he would off been out for most of our games this season anyway so we would still be on around 4 points. Granted after he comes back after his winters break he would bang them in for us but by then it could be too late
Man utds reserve team are out you mean.
as i said if he was used properly you cant play Sanchez and westy at the same time, i am well aware that in our present predicament he’s a luxury we cant afford the balance was all to cock tonight after ten minutes it was apparent it was a game made for traore i didnt see the subs list was he on it,
I couldn’t believe they took Gestede and then put on two wingers,let’s see what the kid can do with some service.
I didn’t think they played that badly, but I would’ve like to see Veretout play a little more football. I can understand why some players were rested but I reckon we would’ve been more potent in attack if Ayew-Agbonlahor-Grealish started as the wingers rather than Bacuna and Amavi.
Still I reckon we played quite well.
The worst part was that it’s quite annoying when the oppositions keeper always makes these great saves yet Guzan doesn’t do that too much.
Just shows a little bit of thought makes a difference, ok we was surprised over some players getting the call but it became more of a team with Mc McDonald, see we didn’t even get a mention on tv sports on last night’s game, is this going to be to late to turn us around? Billy boots thanks for that info but it asked me to turn off my adblock so didn’t see it.
I see Micah Richards is injured.
Was he given a good smack on the jaw in the tunnel, or is it something to do with the suggestion on here that he apparently went back to Manchester after the Swansea game?
What’s all that about, did I miss something?
We don’t have another Steven Ireland on our hands do we? WTF is it with us and Man C? Everything we get from them turns to shite – Billy McNeill, Steven Ireland and now Micah (loose cannon) Richards.
Behave Richards is a decent player and has been our best defender this season. Ex city player Lescott fair enough he should never play for us again he was useless even when at city imo
I don’t rate him at all, there’s a reason there wasn’t a queue for his services when he became surplus to requirements at MC but there again I never really rated your idol either, he’d have never got anywhere near a Sir Ron side.
Interesting comment BWS.
You didn’t rate god?
Anyway, this one could be fast moving mate;

Well obviously not as highly as most appear to, come on ‘on the piss my lord’ says it all and his autobiography is the most depressing piece of prose I’ve ever read.
Badger – think you’ve mixed up two different stories re Richards?
I understood that the ‘going back to Manchester’ story related to the Chelsea game; the tunnel fight was at home to Swansea and he’s been charged by the FA in relation to that one.
So, either he took a wallop on Saturday or someone decided not to put him out there until the FA disciplinary has been sorted?
Ardent, I might easily have mixed things up.
I’ve been changing shifts every couple of days and frankly am struggling to know what day it is!
Nights to days to the graveyard etc. It’s knocking me about, tbh.
Yes, it’s possibly just to allow him to calm down a bit.
Do what I did, ask one of the shift worker’s permanent days or night, take it from me it will catch up with you changing shifts. I did 30 years on night’s found it to be the answer.
I have to do it Bill.
I’m the supervisor.
It’s only temporary anyway, but cheers for your concern 🙂
As for last night’s game, I was at work 🙁
Sounds like we were the better team in the first half, but imploded yet again.
The defence is going to prove a major problem for whoever comes in, imo.
Erm, Pulis, anyone?
That’s sort of a joke, btw.
And don’t forget Badger we only lost by one goal 🙂
Phew that’s OK then – thank heavens for that 94th minute penalty! 🙂
Oohah, that’s not really funny, imo.
We haven’t been thrashed by anyone and it’s at least a plus in a scenario that’s pretty dire.
I hope you haven’t spoke to soon with SPURS & CITY coming up 2 teams quite capable of banging them in.our defense ain’t airtight you must agree I’m personally dreading the next 2 fixtures.
I don’t know mate.
Spurs score yes, but can concede as well.
We’d need to get our shooting boots on, mind.
City, well yes, I’d be worried about that one.
But who wouldn’t?
The new manager will want to come after those games as he wont want 2 defeats in his CV but it gives them 2 free games to look at players and experiment so they should come now imo.
But better to be thrashed 10.0 and win 1.0 the next week than keep losing by one goal every week at least we would have 3 points
In regard to SPURS it’s not as if we’re finding the net on a regular basis,so I can’t see them being too troubled.
