Looks a done deal, with the Arsenal connection, his immediate availability and our French players, seemed a little obvious in hindsight. Hope a few on here made a few quid backing him

The challenges don't come much bigger

He seems to have a good rep but it's not obvious why from a Google search.

Interesting that Sherwood's staff all got the sack this morning as well, suggests that they've got someone to replace him already, which would tie in with the Garde rumours, I guess - he's been working for French tv, not in football, so no pissing about with compensation or talks etc etc.

Except Tony Parkes which I thought was interesting if nothing else.

Everybody's too afraid to tell him.

I'm more impressed that Garde was included in the poll list at the start of the thread.

Could have legs with the Arsenal links in it.

I like Tony Parkes and am glad he's staying. He is a good team man and adds value IMHO.
Wilkins was just bizarre.

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.
