Manager at Caen. Patric Garande. Patrice uses the same European scouting network as GG. They supposedly know each other personally. GG is expected to make a formal move over the coming days. Want Danny Wilson though.
Could make sense this as apparently Nixon has tweeted that we're lining up a French fella but didn't give a name. Just had a quick look at Patrice Garande's stats since 2012 with Caen 224 Games - 86W, 51D, 87L
I assume that the second part of your post is a wind up , so that makes me unsure if your first part is genuine
Just looked and he said he wouldn't be surprised if we landed a French manager. Don't think he's actually mentioned we're going for one.
seriously WTF is all this about Danny Wilson????? I seriously hope it's a wind up. Apart from leaving us every other job he's had he's been sacked from. He's fekin useless !!!!!!
Yes at 65, I am far too young to understand that Danny is unfortunately passed his sell bye date , his last term in charge was one of the least enjoyable periods of my time watching the reds , he had gone from an attack minded manager in his first spell to one of the most boring negative tactician we have had at the helm during his last spell . I have only been a regular for 57 years , so how much longer do I need to attend, in order to understand ?
Doing well in Ligue 1 and had an average attendance last year of 16,000 can`t see him leaving them to come here.
That French guy looks like a good manager, be very, very surprised if he left what looks to be a well established team for us. Been there years, too. Would definitely excite me that's for sure. Edit: just seen who posted the thread and had a read through, my bad. Enjoyed reading about a manager you picked out at random, though.
Mid table in the French 1st division. What would he know about a relegation scrap in the Championship with players he's never met and a club he knows nothing about? Risky imo even if he wanted to come.
