Well with the amount of French league players we have in the squad, that might actually be a logical if very risky appointment. Garde also speaks English from his time at Arsenal.

He didn't do great at Lyon though...

He only lost 31 in 117

I'm pretty sure Lyon who are regular title contenders (finished 2nd last season) finished 6th in one of his seasons though.

Bad English would give us a better precis on him.

Looking through the seasons he was in charge, Lyon were hovering around the mid-60s in the points range. That seems a little underwhelming given how dominant they were in the mid-2000s, but I think there was a stage a couple of seasons ago where they cut costs and sold players like Lloris and Pjanic without really replacing them.

It also co-incides with PSG spunking all that cash and becoming the dominent force.

It won't be a shock the more I think about it. Arsenal links, French players in the squad. He has certainly brought up playing a style of football we all love to watch.

bold move if it happens but if anyone can get the best out of our French contingent...

Why are people suggesting Rowett FFS !!!

Says the person asking if we'd have MON back.

I didn't suggest Oneill just asked. Rowett would be a brain dead appointment

I know, which is why I said "asking if we'd have MON back".

Rumours on Twitter are that Remi Garde is getting consideration.

He's not in management, had a 51% win record at Lyon, and was linked with us before, but more so with the Newcastle job. He's the kind of manager that would have been great as an assistant to Houllier if Houllier had stayed healthy, and could have then taken over. With all of the French and French language players in the squad not a bad shout at all.

Ok let's look on the bright side...
Arsene Wenger had a 29% win record with Nancy and a 48% win record with Monaco before managing Arsenal, so Garde beats that. He also achieved a lot of his success with lots of good young French players, of which we have quite a few in our squad. :-)

That's a false narrative .

Silhill, would you like to say who you would like?

Or are you just going to slate every suggestion and criticise whoever we do appoint regardless of who it is?

I'd have taken Allardyce . Id be ok with Moyes, but can't see him coming. Garde I would see as a car crash appointment . If O'Neill apologised I would consider taking him back.

[placeforparks]

remi garde makes some sense with all the arsenal connections and the french influx...

[Quiet Lion]

Looks like it is definitely Rémi Garde then, unless everyone on twitter is wrong.

oh, oh , oh , il est magique , vous savez , le ratio de la victoire de Rémi Garde
