Can I ask who Remi Garde is? I know the name, just not sure who/what he's done?

Ex Lyon manager who took over when they went from outspending most of that league to huge cut backs, largely to fund a new stadium I believe. From a few pages back:

3 seasons as manager, sold a lot of good players and replaced them at a profit, won a cup, top 5 all 3 seasons and averaged 64 points per season.  I'm happy with his record and it honestly makes sense given our squad.  It might not work, all new managers are a risk, but I can see a clear thought process to this so I hope it happens now.

Win percentage of 51.28 isnt too shaby either

That's where I remember him from! I knew I knew the name!

Not a bad record on the manager front either.

Thanks all.

More likely to be Pearson, Curbishley, Pearce, Southgate.

Was considered for the Newcastle job similar to villa situation . by all accounts he  more plausible than dim Sherwood and speaks better English too. He would get villa playing decent stuff and would know how to represent the club in media due to his canal plus work. Is a risk to an extent but  Let's bring him in with  i previouslyb mentioned ginola but robert pires as an attacking coach would be maginfique. Yes Robert pires would bring a touch of class along with garde.

I don't think you can set much store by win percentages in Ligue 1. The standard isn't great.

I think it's more about his ability to get performances out of quite a young group of players, and to bring through the academy kids. He was blessed with some very talented youngsters at Lyon. If he does come, here's hoping he gets to go back for Fekir and Lacazette, for a start. He also oversaw the development of a certain Anthony Martial, too.

He's never knowingly walked past a ring without putting something in it.

Yep, taught himself so he could read Proust in the original. He had a lot of time on his hands under Lambert.
