rubberman Posted October 26, 2015 Share Posted October 26, 2015 I saw that Jocelyn fella turn up on the odds a couple of hours ago. Had to Google him (i have a least heard of garde). He turns up at no 30 in the top 50 football managers on the telegraph (i think ) site. Seems very leftfield but must be some chat out there.

Popular Post Wes Posted October 26, 2015 Popular Post Share Posted October 26, 2015 The way I see it is this:Yes you may be disenfranchised with the current owner. You could be completely aghast at the decisions of Fox and those under him (although personally I would remind them that Faulkner was nothing to write home about at all). The fact however is this: we have adopted a continental model where some of the recruitment responsibilities, such as "the final say" in some regards, and this is not going to change under this owner. Lerner is actively looking to sell. He has already changed the hierarchy once by bringing in Fox and he is not going to do it again anytime soon. The only way the board is changing is if Lerner lowers his asking price for the club, a new owner comes in and puts his people in there instead. We have absolutely no power over that so it's a waste of energy complaining about it.With no new owner coming in right now (and it wont be until the end of the season at the very earliest) we now have to choose a manager who suits this setup of a football club and quite honestly that means bringing someone who has coached on the continent more than on these Isles because in relative terms it's a new concept to us. The manager must fit with both short term and long term goals in mind:Short TermWe have to incorporate the large number of French signings we made during the summer in to our squad better. They would need to speak French and English.The manager has to be more tactically astute than his predecessor.Experience of Premier League and its requirements. Ideally as a manager.Long TermReturn the youth academy in to a production line to supplement the incoming transfers. More youth products in first team means larger chunks of budget can be spent on less players to fill holes, meaning better quality of purchase.Be comfortable working under a director of football, somewhere where the manager is not the only end point with regards recruitment, but has a say.Bring stability over a long period of time. Someone closer to starting out their career rather than ending it. Remi Garde fits a lot of these critera. Is there an Arsenal boys club happening behind the scenes? Almost definitely, but that doesn't mean it's a bad decision.He was successful at Lyon on a modest budget in a club with high expectations. He has played in the Premier League so at least knows the speed of the game over here and can speak both languages needed right now. In the long term various articles praised him for bringing through youth products to replace the First Team members his owner forced him to sell. Is it going to be him? Sounds like there's a lot of background staff hoops to jump through yet. However he's a pretty impressive looking candidate to me, especially in the short term and he has the qualities to potentially be good going forward to boot. Could Moyes and Rodgers do a job here? Probably, although I think they would find it harder in the short term than even Garde in terms of getting the French speaking players in to the fold more (plus it'll cost even more money to shell out for Moyes and Rodgers would probably want a break before returning to management). Final word - I would be more optimistic with Garde as the manager heading in to January than I was with Sherwood. Isn't that precisely what we need right now? 14 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OneNightInRotterdam Posted October 26, 2015 Share Posted October 26, 2015 Hope we get garde and all his staff.Hopefully the club make the effort to get them. Or Garde won't come. Sherwood suffered without Ramsey and Les IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
