When are they planning to tell us who is taking over?

[trane]

That is the only thing I care about right now. Untill I get that answer I will not renew. That is my bottom line. Nothing else interests me. When I know the answer to this question, then I can make a reasoned decision as to wether I will renew. Right now I only have passed history to go on, and that is not good enough for me to renew.

[Red Rat]

Trane
you will have to wait a long, long time.

[trane]

^ That is what I am afraid off. THe most important piece of info, will not be known to us, untill well after they have their money in hand. Well if that is the case they will not have mine.

[Red Rat]

in typical MLSE fashion it will be announced 2 days before the home opener.

[RPB_RED_NATION_RPB]

Gord Stellick is the front runner...

[flatpicker]

^ God help us.

[trane]

^ That is pretty much what I am thinking, then when they are shit for the first half they have a built in excuse. That is what I am tiered off. I mean why could they not have had a list ready, why could they not move the process over quickly, They shuold have known that they may fire Mo, for some time. In that case you need to be ready for the contingency that you do fire him.

[trane]

Dale Mitchell, no man has done less with more.

[trane]

Fuck, I can already see it, they will be bringing a players throught the midle of the season.

If one of the other team's players gets sent off, he's probably be on the touchline going "WHAM-O!"

At least he won't have an excuse to talk about people's (Read: Hal Gill's) long stick.

The one man that will suit this institution to the tie, will be Diego Maradona.

He'll be all talking about how JDG is a MONSTER!!

[flatpicker]

^ And he will conduct in depth interviews from the team bench, while the game is on.... and I will hate him for it.

Seriously... why do they allow that to happen???

[ensco]

I wouldn't expect anything soon. Hans Backe was hired January 7.

[jloome]

Wasn't backe at notts county with ericksson? That was imploding at the time so the timing was fortunate, i think

I wasn’t asking, but this came out of nowhere, no official sources, and I share it for what it is, a rumour under fwiw.


My friends in Chicago tell me that Anselmi has had meetings with Jay Berhalter about the position of President of TFC. Berhalter is 38 and currently president of Kentaro USA. Kentaro markets the rights for several FA’s, the most prominent one is England (and of course the USA) and clubs like Arsenal and Chelsea. Berhalter, previous to Kentaro, was the USSF’s chief operating officer so he has the high level experience, including the 94 World Cup and the 03 Women’s World Cup, plus involvement with MLS.


The other name I keep hearing is Jim Sheldon, who retired in 2009 after 17 years as Executive Director of the NSCAA.


So it “looks” like Anselmi could be seeking an executive to take over his TFC duties and run TFC.

that's exactly what I said,

anyway, ..... something to talk about...

I googled and dogpiled, appears Berhalter has good pedigree so I'd say its BS, Anselmi not football savy enough to pull this kind of hire off.

Depends on which consultant they hired. They hired a consultant to find a GM for the hockey team - and then signed the guy every caller to talk radio suggested. Don't you wish you could get the consultant's fee?

[kaos197O]

What's
Jürgen Klinsmann

and co. doing these days?

Gord Kirke's a consultant, I thought he was Larry Tanenbaum's lawyer. meh

I understand it's wild rumour at this point.

Reading his history and resume he is a business/marketing guy. His resume in this area is pretty impressive. However, nothing in his resume says he has run a football club. A short stint at the Metro Stars and the rest of his background has been in event marketing/organization and selling rights. He's a straight up business guy.

That being said, he has been around the soccer for a long time and around the MLS since it started. His connections in US soccer probably run wide and deep.

Still, the cynic in me see just another business guy and not a football guy. Man, I hate that I'm so glass half empty right now. I blame MLSE for that too.

I hear ya.

My friends in Chicago tell me he is a football guy, played high level youth and then NCAA; and then there is his brother, he plays for the Galaxy, Gregg Berhalter. So he's from a football family.

Hopefully someone at MLSE has seen the light and that they need someone who can run the entire football operation. Turn everything over to one guy and let him build out a team of football people to run everything. I guess a guy like this has the background to run the business but also the football background to know who to hire to run & build out the team side of things.

What's amazing that any one of the 16,000 season seat holders could have told MLSE this 5 years ago when we got our franchise. :rolleyes:

This wouldn't be a bad thing IMO. At least he speaks the language.

[ArmenJBX]

If he signs, he'll easily get his brother to come join us :D

At the time I think they called him "Head of the Search Committee," something like that. He's much more than just a lawyer ;).

[Sullivan]

NOT! ;)

Have you seen GB play lately; he just might be the Galaxys version of Garcia.
