He's (SH) right though.
Garde may not be a bad manager - I think he might be good actually. But he was not the answer to staying up this year and he probably won't be the answer next year.
Well we may as well give him a chance otherwise we look to the next rung below of old has-beens, never will bes - Warnock, Redknapp, Ferguson (D), Grayson.
Houllier was a regressive appointment, McLeish a beyond all comprehension appointment, Lambert kept on too long and then Sherwood and all of us to a man knew his limitations.
Garde is likely a very good coach.
Garde seems clued up - he certainly looked pissed off today. I think it's c. 80% the quality of the players.
But my point was that Garde was a unquestionably a gamble (like Sherwoood, like Lambert, like McLeash, like Houllier). When we needed a 'safer' bet ('safer', rather than safe). I think the thing hampering us employing the most obvious safer bet (Moyes) was the budget. Just like it was when MON left.
Anyway, it's pretty irrelevant now. The damage is done.
