people said same with Lambert that he be back in Premier League within 12 months and now he is looking further away as possible

That's pretty much irrelevant to Garde though.

Also, Lambert's biggest job was us.

Garde's was Lyon.

His stock will remain high.

taking a consistent Champions League knockout team to Europa League every season. His stock really isnt that great ;)

Financial restrictions only apply to McCarthy's work at Sunderland (where he was terrible) - they don't apply to Garde's time at either Lyon or Villa :detect:

I think Garde will be ok. He will most likely get a chance to rebuild his reputation at Lyon going by the comments that were coming from that direction in recent weeks. He was always up against it here, and did not have chance to bring in his own players or shape the squad in his image so I think he will probably escape with minimal damage to his reputation. I will probably follow how he gets on in his next role, if only just to cure my curiosity as to whether he is as bad as his record suggests or if he was really hamstrung by the situation he found himself in here at Villa.

Many people rave about Garde at Lyon but it should be noted that when he quit his successor had to lose another 8 players that summer and actually improved Lyon from 5th when Garde left and managed to finish 2nd behind PSG in his 1st season in charge.

McCarthy had to sign players from League 1 and 2 and made them more competitive than what we have seen under Garde. His big summer signing was Jon Stead and some of his cheap signings signings went on to have decent enough careers like Liam Lawrence and Dean Whitehead plucked from League 2 (made 6 million profit on them 2 alone)

Yeah but that is ignoring the total rebuild and financial restructuring they did at the time to pay for their new stadium.

Not saying Garde will manage Real Madrid next season, just adding some context

If Garde didn't do a good job at Lyon, then surely nobody would want him back there?

All I've seen (from my limited knowledge of Lyon) is that most of them would want him back if they had the choice.

As sne says, context is everything but it's easier for some to look at points, or games won and make a judgement.

Whereas Remi Garde has had to either sell his best players (Toulalan, Pjanic et al), promote almost solely through the youth system (bringing through Lacazette et al) or have no transfer window at all (Villa).

Basically, the context of your post regarding European stuff is entirely wrong - especially since you're giving a manager with the second worst Premier League record of all time a whole load of positives and saying we should bring him in.

It's a shame Garde's signings didn't have the same sort of impact.

 

Wait...

2nd worst to Garde is an improvement ;)

He won't be going back to Lyon then, will he?

Yet Pearson was the genius at Leicester and Ranieri is only looking after the house Nigel built, apparently.
