Number 1 and Number 9 you have got each other's boots on the wrong feet.

I'll be glad if he is putting down a few conditions of his own. The last 3 managers came across as yes men just pleased to have a top flight job.

Hopefully one of those conditions is a large guaranteed transfer budget.

If his assistants didn't want to come and Garde would only come with them we wouldn't still be talking to him.

End of the day, if they want to come they will do, as is always the case in football.

You can understand that they have a preferred choice of assistant etc, but it would be weird for a manager to not want to get back into managing unless he has certain people with him. What if they never want to leave the clubs they are at, is he going to leave himself the choice of manage one specific club or never manage again?

You'd also have thought that, given we've probably been talking to Garde for a while, the assistants would have been aware of the situation for at least a week now. He probably phoned them on Saturday at the latest to ask them if they're interested, so there's no way they're not at least open to the idea. Aulas is just fronting up.

Well I've not read anywhere that Garde has ruled himself out so I'm guessing this is happening.

Does anyone know how close he was to joining Newcastle? Was it very tentative enquiries or is it a carbon copy of our situation?

Seems spookily similar, he couldn't secure his coaches and so it fell through. Aswell as the art gallery stuff.
