After nearly four years of marriage, Landon Donovan has filed for divorce from Bianca Kajlich citing irreconcilable differences. During their marriage they were separated for one year, however the L.A. Galaxy forward officially filed divorce papers on Tuesday. Landon is seeking spousal support and legal fees from Bianca.

Ha Ha Ha, who didn't see this coming?

didn't see this elsewhere, but Chivas is hiring Juan Carlos Osorio as coach.
What a shitty signing for them. He was gifted Blanco in Chicago but really didn't get them anywhere. Then he took NYRB to one of the worst finishes in the history of MLS.

Sorry Roogs, that's not even worth calling Skanky. It just looks Retarded. The Tattoos are not well placed, not readable, and quite frankly, not even cool looking.

First off this news is pure BS and its not going to happen..
He is not a shit coach. Coaches have ups and downs we see it all the time.

Just this past Sunday He Crowned my cities futbol team back in the old country CHAMPIONS. Had a run of 16 games unbeaten.

Osorio will not leave where he is becuase he has earned the chance to play in "COPA LIBERTADORES " The worlds oldest club championship, Its as big an honour as the world cup.. pic below shows the proof

Ah, where do you get that from?

So what? Colombia ain't MLS.
His MLS record includes coaching one of the worst teams ever in MLS.

He also had DPs on both his MLS teams and achieved just about nothing beyond barely making the playoffs. Even NYRB and Chicago fans don't want him back. He fluked his way into MLS cup with a team that barely made the playoffs and had a lot of luck in the playoffs.

The word on Osorio from MLS fans is that he's a smart tactician but overthinks things, putting players in the wrong positions and playing a boring defensive style.

I sure wouldn't want Osorio anywhere near TFC.

Mutu to MLS?http://www.football-italia.net/imgs/whitebox.gifhttp://www.football-italia.net/imgs/whitebox.gif

Fiorentina will look to sign Massimo Maccarone (Palermo) in the January transfer window if the club decides to sell Adrian Mutu, according to La Gazzetta dello Sport.

Widespread reports claim Mutu's time is up at the Artemio Franchi and it would appear a move to the MLS is on the cards even amid interest from Turkey and Qatar.

Mutu has a house in Miami and would apparently favour a move the United States if he were to be made available for transfer.

Seems Napoli are also interested in him...Stay tuned.

Sure there is. You can just look at what the Carver defenders say...after all, despite having a worse win ratio than both Preki and Cummins, he's the best coach we've ever had!

i wouldnt mind seeing Mutu here, hes been quiet lately (with exception to the snorting coming from the bathroom). Just not certain he'd be so happy to play here.

I dunno why he thinks he can live in Miami and still play for an MLS team (unless its the off season)

your point is taken, but did you maybe ever think that quite possibly its not always an issue with the coaches but the lack of talent in the mls..
You can't draw blood from a stone when there is not blood to be had..

and yes I am an Osorio fan .. He's proven to me that hes a winner and to win a championship in a league that is much harder then the MLS says to me he is..

12-23-2010, 07:16 PM
I must confess to be somewhat concerned about the fact that it has been over 100 days since Mo and Preki were fired, and that it seems to be taking perhaps longer then even TFC thought it would to get new people in to take over. And I get the concern of many in this forum in regards to the delays.

On the other hand I think that looking at that Dobson interview with Klinsmann again I think that the now infamous "..coach by Christmas..." remark was somewhat of a throwaway line from JK looking at his face and body language. I think they are close and who knows maybe we will have a new guy in charge by early January....

My fearless crystal ball tells me that Earl IS in all but name the GM now... and he will be the GM going forward. And don't ask me why I think this but I really feel that the person coming in to coach is going to be someone of the "Bruce Arena/Sigi Schmidt/Stevie Nicol" ilk, namely an experienced MLS hand who can lead the team on the field and tell Earl who he wants/needs, and Earl then goes to get them.

Perhaps the delay is in negotiating the release of a coach from another MLS side who is under contract. Or it could be money... who knows.

my two cents for what it's worth.

Toronto Ruffrider
12-23-2010, 08:04 PM
The firing of Mo/Preki and the hiring of Klinsmann were all timely moves designed to placate disgruntled fans and supporters. Such moves were easy; the task of hiring a new coach and GM, as well as rebuilding our roster, is inherently much more difficult. I wish I was more optimistic, but based on what's happened to date I just can't see our team being close to competitive come opening day. Now, if TFC has another stinker of a season, it will be interesting to see how the FO fans the flames for the next round of SSH renewals.

No, it's just this is the same guy who tweeted last week about how close they were to signing a new coach, that they had three or four they were talking to and then... Nothing. And now this.

It just sounds exactly like what we've been hearing from these guys for four years.

And TFC COACHES are any better.. .

Well, we can only speak objectively using wins, losses, ties.

John Carver had a better winning percentage in MLS than Osorio did. Preki too. Shit, Chris Cummins had a better winning percentage than Osorio. Since the objective is to win games, we can say that the combined record of those three TFC coaches at TFC was better than Osorio's combined record over two teams that had Blanco and Juan Pablo Angel. That's pretty sad, considering how shitty TFC has been.

TFC better sign someone better than Osorio, that's all I'm saying.

you forget one very important factor .. Carver, Cummins and Osorio were all educated in the sport in the same place (england) . Yet not one of them are here any longer. As for preki well we can see that even he is not around any longer and hes an MLS lifer. Why are they all gone.. lack of results . Why ? becuase mls teams are impatient to structure growth and development. Also they never had the time to implement a system that works for the club and its continuity.
1 great player does not make a team a champion thats why there are 11 players that make a team. don't give me that shit about 1 dp or amazing player is the difference maker..
Look at who won the mls cup this year. was there any dps in that club? Wanna know why they won. Becuase there was continuity with the players that worked for the club. The coach established a building system that over the years has made this club better and better. since 2008.
Osorio was trying to implement that same system at the shite bulls much like Klinsman is trying to do the same with TFC. Except hes not and does not want to be at the helm.
Look at the shite bulls this year, tons of money to burn on players yet they didn't make it to the final dance. Was L.A there aswell.

based on your point that its better to have a winning record i stand in my position that MLS clubs seek fame and fortune thinking a coach is going to make a club better when the real story is you work with what you have and slowly improve on the positives and expel the crap..
You can't throw out to the trash a coach becuase of one bad year.. there has to be a slow and steady growth and eventually your squad will improve . and to put this into tfc perspective i would take back carver or cummins as our coaches now that the cancer (mo jo) is gone.. but you have to have patience in the process a coach wants implemented.
