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.

Thanks that note of that one.
1-0 Saints
Good I want us out the cups to concentrate on league
According to BBC stats that was southamptons first shot of the match.you couldn’t make this sh*t up
It’s about quality not quantity
Agree – Glad to see Clark get a run out though. Crespo and Sanchez too, both looking sharp.
Ayew on for Bacuna
Grealish for Amavi – to a chorus of boos
Strange game this. Not really bothered if we win or lose and might prefer a really narrow loss to be honest.
We’re going to gave enough problems staying up without also having to cope with a cup run.
1-0 to Saints wouldn’t be such a bad result
Well then… 2-0 Saints
2-0 – not watching but apparently two shots on target – two goals. We’ve had numerous shots on target with no outcome – must say something about our lack of quality
Stekelenburg has made a few good saves and the build up is there, but overall we are lacking quality up front – which is nothing new.
Again all the wrong signals, amavi plays well and taken off, Ayew scored last game and doesn’t start, grealish bee one of our most creative and doesn’t start, kozak looked OK pre season and doesn’t get a whiff, Westwood does fuck all and plays regularly, think it’s our year for the drop
McDonald out.
🙂
Penalty for Ayew – great movement to get into the box.
Sinclair taking…
2-1 Saints
Done. Some positives but defensive blunders cost the game again. Garde can’t come soon enough. Ayew has to start over Gestede now.
Villa had 12 shots – 6 on goal. Saints had 8 shots – 2 on goal.
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.
