Rodgers assistants were sacked by the club behind the managers back.

No they weren't

Bielsa for me, but honestly I'd take almost any manager as long as the decision showed some joined up and coherent thinking.

Rumours on Twitter are that Remi Garde is getting consideration.

I've voted Rogers as I think he would probably get us out of the shit for this season, but I think Moyes would be the best longer term solution, not sure if it might take him longer to have an impact. I also think Karanka could be a good long term option as Middlesbrough play some really good football and don't really have individual stand out players. They're excellent defensively as well.

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'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.

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.

I don't trust the club at all to get this decision correct.

It does follow logic that with Reilly calling the plauer shots a european manager might be worth a shot. Arsenal connection too.

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.

Hmmm. Seems a bit of an easy appointment. Someone out of work. He has worked under Houllier so there might be a little consistency in what he does without what Houllier attempted to put into place here.
That said I'm not sure I fancy a manager who's only had three years in France and hasn't work in a year. I think it has potential disaster written all over it.
But of course we lose every fucking game as it is, so he can only keep parity or improve really. Same with anyone we appoint.
