KaKa Posted January 7, 2015 Share Posted January 7, 2015 A few facts about him off twitter. https://mobile.twitter.com/nufckeithr/status/552830294311837697/photo/1 Very good find How did he do well, produce decent teams and get good results though when he had little spending money and his star players sold? We've been told the last 3 years Pardew can't work in those conditions? Goes to show eh? If we can just get a decent manager man. It's clear we can still enjoy watching the team perform and achieve things, even with Ashley's quirks. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deuce Posted January 7, 2015 Share Posted January 7, 2015 Be happy with Garde like he's the least favoured on mine, he's beginning to read a lot like Pardew from the articles i've looked at In what way ? His tactics, concentrating on defending with midfielders, playing strikers out of position etc, Lacazette was used wide last season quite a bit and much less effective, this year with Garde gone he has been used more as a striker with much more effect (highest scorer in lique 1 i think) They were much more of a threat for the League when he was assistant but when he jumped up to head coach they seem much less of a threat this article mentions sitting back and inviting pressure and also playing with much more defensive tactics http://frenchfootballweekly.com/2013/04/28/olympique-lyonnais-the-tactical-debrief/ Pretty sure Garde played Lacazette and Gomis upfront, with a diamond midfield behind them. grenier was just behind the two strikers. Love a good diamond midfield. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mole_Toonfan Posted January 7, 2015 Share Posted January 7, 2015 Aye he did play a diamond, although I can't remember who the 4th midfielder was along with Gourcuff, Grenier and Gonalons. Not that it matters but Pardew would never play 3 such technically gifted players at the same time Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Memphis Posted January 7, 2015 Share Posted January 7, 2015 Fofana, I think. Don't really think there's any more apt candidate than Garde, given his experience with terrible owners and transfer issues. Here's another nice little piece from 3 or so years ago, when Garde was relatively new: As the former head of OL’s youth training programme, Garde’s readiness to blood young players is unsurprising, but the real triumph of his man management is the way he has coaxed performances out of players, such as Bastos and Cissokho, who had seemed so traumatised by the events of last season. In doing so, the thoughtful 45-year-old has proved that a lack of financial muscle in the transfer market need not herald the death-knell for a team’s ambitions. Privately criticised by former Lyon coach Raymond Domenech for being “too serious” during his playing days, Garde impressed Arsène Wenger at Arsenal with his ability to assess a player and swiftly asserted his authority this summer by jettisoning the 4-3-3 of the Puel era in favour of a sleek and straightforward 4-4-2. With Gourcuff expected to return for the trip to PSG on October 2, Garde’s only headache concerns how to accomodate the French playmaker and club record signing in his new system. It is a state of affairs for which Puel would have given his right arm, and yet the resources from which Garde has hewn such an effective team were actually there all along. There was a great quote from Arsene Wenger about Garde: "I have rarely seen a player who has such little confidence in himself transmit so much confidence in others."

Does not compute. Say we get Garde, the narrative will move on to "haha, look at these daft Geordies who still hate Ashley just because he's a cockney, even though he brought in a Champions League experienced manager and spent £35m in the summer. Really good owner is Mike Ashley, those Geordies are just deluded and expect to win the league." Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tsunami Posted January 7, 2015 Share Posted January 7, 2015 Got given that the position is Head Coach and probable issues around going for someone already in a managerial role (in that Ashley wouldn't want to pay compensation to get his man), I wouldn't be too disappointed with giving Hoddle a go. He was a fantastic player and by all accounts a very good coach and his teams were usually set up to play attractive football. After his fiasco with the Eileen Drewery stuff and his ill advised comments about people with disabilities he hasn't had a look in. It wouldn't surprise me in the least if he got the job.

Tsunami Posted January 7, 2015 Share Posted January 7, 2015 Hoddle wouldn't be my first choice by any means but I can see him as having a good chance of getting it. Hoddle is only remembered for his personal beliefs which, mad as they were, didn't affect his teams. I'm not sure how it's gone for him in Spain with trying to give a second chance to those youngsters who didn't quite make it but I'd like to think that it's a sign of a man with a positive outlook and a willingness to give youngsters a chance. Given our philosophy for buying that would hopefully be a good thing. Let's me honest, current well respected managers are hardly going to be falling over themselves to work under Ashley.
