^^ Galliano only designed based on the whimsical and free form feel of how long the Dior leash was given to him. I believe he is able to grown up and he was playing into the whimsical frenzy of what buyers wanted from him. I only say that he is a fit for Chanel because through all that struggle and pain his last namesake collection showed the fine detail that was really his inner self coming through.

I mean Chanel did short hotpants and miniskirts and hooker shoes during Karl's rein and it was a three ring circus that women in 50s who could afford but not buy. So why not John's problem was that he wanted to show his practical side and move onto his own and it was exemplified in his last collection under his name.

Karl is not more talented than John and vice versa, I don't see why not given the former is going to retire and Ackermann is just too dark in his designs and doesn't give the whimsical happy feeling when looking at his clothes.
