Rémi Garde and the case of the missing art galleries


Recommended Posts

Olivier Bernard believes that Remi Garde will want to bring his own staff to Newcastle United, if he decides to end his sabbatical for a stint at St James’ Park.

 

Garde held talks with United chiefs back in January without striking a deal.

 

Since then, stand-in head coach John Carver has been included in talks with managing director Lee Charnley and chief scout Graham Carr about the preparations for next season – and is still understood to be in with a shout of winning the job full-time.

 

Newcastle sources this week dismissed fresh talk of Steve McClaren being lined up for next season, despite national headlines linking the ex-England boss with the post.

 

When asked about the possibility of ex-Lyon boss Garde coming to Tyneside, Bernard – a former player at the French club – said: “I think it was quite clear he was not prepared to come out in the middle of the season.

 

“The fact he always travels with one physio and one assistant means he might be put off. In France it has been quiet too. You were expecting them to get it sorted by now, but it’s not the case.

 

“It’s awkward at the moment. I’m not worried though because John is good enough to take the team on.”

 

 

However, Benard has warned that Carver will need the backing of his board going forward.

 

The ex-United man said: “He will need a lot of backing from the squad and money to spend.

 

“We have young talent but in the professional game, the experience is very important. That gives you points.

 

“Look at games in the past that were 0-0 and very tight – but we had Alan Shearer, who would pop up and win you the game.

 

“Now you don’t see that.”

I don't know, a manager who has art high on the priority list of life is exactly the kind who would play the game the right way :) I would be setting up fake art gallereez around the ground just to lure him, filled with poorly drawn imitations of Picasso and Van Gogh by the plethora of crayons at the disposal of Carver and Stoney.

Just print loads of the drawings off our football in paint

Keegan would have told him that Newcastle is closer to the Louvre than London or something.

 

I doubt it was a defining issue I'm sure if the board were desperate to bag him they could have done an HTT style dossier on golf courses and culture in Newcastle and the surrounding area.

Sounds like another bullshit PR story put out by the club, to say that Garde isn't coming. Can see straight through it.

 

This. Art galleries FFS. Nowt to do with him wanting to bring in his own backroom staff, no sir... :lol:

Last time I went to the Baltic pretty much the only thing there was a room with a shed in it.  Just a shed.  Except you weren't allowed to take pictures of it, like you can with my shed.

I'm pretty sure we could of could of convinced him that Newcastle's last few seasons is actually a form of modern art about the horrible side of commercialism in the modern game taking away from the competitiveness from the sport or something. I mean, its more believable than the idea that we're a fully functioning football club.
