"We’d not got the worst goal difference in the league any longer."That's an awful sentence, even by your standards.
Sums up nicely what most of us are thinking, as ever. Particularly agree about Garde perhaps being the right man at the wrong time. I thought that when he was appointed. A good coach, but one who had never really been tested in this kind of adversity, and had already left his previous job of his own free will because he felt something wasn't quite right. It's so frustrating. Even when the powers that be do make a decent call, their timing is bloody awful.Ideally, you'd want to see him given the chance of a fresh start and the opportunity to build his own side. I think he could do good things. But I do fear spending six months at the helm of a total shitstorm will take its toll on him and he'll just walk away.
