    I like Gallardo btw, Great style of play, young, and knows Ligue 1. Mancini 2nd choice. Just say no to Rudi Garcia and Laurent Blanc. :thumbsdown:

    Great to see TFC and Nice doing so well. Surprised Monaco couldn't beat Toulouse. They are a title contender as well. Figured they would have taken 3 points today after blowing out Metz. PSG squeak a 2-1 victory

    Going to try and catch Bordeaux Rennes tomorrow.

    Too bad Lyon have so many injuries. Could have been a contender too

    « Depuis plusieurs années, je ne cherchais pas un acheteur mais un successeur. Il était indispensable que cette personne ait la vision, la capacité et un projet permettant au LOSC de continuer à gagner des titres. Des discussions sont engagées depuis plusieurs mois. Nous sommes heureux d’entrer en négociations exclusives avec Gérard Lopez, qui a le profil idéal pour me succéder au LOSC » a déclaré Michel Seydoux.

    « Michel Seydoux a montré durant ces derniers mois un grand professionnalisme et un sens de la confidentialité exemplaire, sans jamais s’écarter de sa ligne conductrice qui est de tout mettre en œuvre pour que le club gagne de nouveaux titres » a déclaré Gérard Lopez.

    So weird seeing Olympique Marseille owned by an American but maybe now they start playing matches in the US and marketing themselves over here finally.

    It is officially Rudi Garcia !

    http://www.ligue1.com/ligue1/article/garcia-handed-marseille-mission.htm

    Marseille have announced that Rudi Garcia has signed on as head coach, replacing Franck Passi at the helm just days after the club's sale to Frank McCourt and days out from the first Classique of the season.

    Olympique de Marseille announced on Thursday that Rudi Garcia, 52, has signed a three-year contract with the southern giants that takes immediate effect - meaning that the former LOSC and AS Roma boss will be on the bench at the Parc des Princes when the first Classique of the season between OM and arch-rivals Paris Saint-Germain takes place on Sunday night.

    Its a good hire to build the project and gain stability. If Bielsa goes to Lille it will be more chaotic over there with their project.

    So happy to see Marseille pick up a point off of Paris. I was nervous going in, what with the fact that Garcia only had two training sessions with the squad. How he used that time to pick out Rolando again for a five-man defense, I don't know, but it paid off. I excited to see where he goes with this...

    Even the "less talented" OL youth products do better when they leave the club. :(

    Ishak Belfodili hasnt done better and neither has Farès Bahlouli. Yassine Benzia hasnt been setting the world on fire at Lille. Same with Mehdi Zeffane at Rennes.

    Going back even further, there is Bryan Bergougnoux who is now 33 and currently plays for Tours (Ligue 2.) Born in Lyon and didnt exactly explode after leaving OL. 21 caps for France under 21, for whatever reason had a ho hum average pro career.

    ^ Hopefully they can keep their momentum up and the title race going, would make Ligue 1 very much interesting to watch this season.

    St. Etienne-Monaco was a high intensity match in front of a raucous crowd.
