Well, Garde is certainly familiar with having to work with kids on a shoestring budget. Lyon sold most of their best players while he was there and didn't really invest much. I seem to remember he played a fairly bold attacking style, so it would be a progressive move. However, I don't think he really pulled up any trees with Lyon. They sort of ambled along, but no more than that.
Definitely a step in the right direction in terms of the more cerebral approach, but I think there are some question marks over his ability. Given our precarious position, this is a big gamble.
