He then compounded it by giving a TAM deal to a central defender on his last legs and a two-year contract to a striker that hasn’t scored in approaching three full seasons. Everything the guy touched...

That article from Steve Simmons in the Sun about Argos attendance also tanking probably helped force Manning’s hand to some extent.
Don’t underestimate the power of the mainstream press. We were...
well said
this will seriously damage support if it isn’t dealt with as soon as possible
It’s one thing to be competitive and falls short. It’s another for a $20M roster to capitulate,

Galaxy just loaned one of their FOUR spare center halfs to Alajuelense. I wonder if we even inquired.
All set up softies and he spends several minutes discussing Achara as "an addition" and that he's really happy with the roster as it is. There are no hard plans to add anyone but there's "always...
He had a chat with Wheeler today. For anyone wondering, the rate at which someone blinks on camera generally corresponds with their nervousness.

Maybe. It would fit his MO, as he did that in Salt Lake. Technically he was president but he took care of identifying signings. He was terrible at it, though, according to their fans. Outside of...
Given that player acquisition is in Curtis' job title and he let him hire Armas, I'm not sure why you think he'd have doubted him before now. It seems more like Manning divorced himself from what was...
Frankly, given that we're a Canadian club, the fact that he passed on Tajon Buchanan should be practically disqualifying it itself.
He was high-ranked in the draft, a high-rank Canadian we...
That quote from Higuain about thinking he'd be able to score goals while smoking a cigarette was really telling. It suggested basically the club did nothing to explore what realistic expectations are...
From the Guardian's story on Neville today. More familiarity!
Getting that gig had nothing to do with lucky stars, it has been claimed, even if the club is part-owned by his longtime mucker and...
Phil Neville will be gone at Miami soon enough. Totally tactically inept. He talks In his interview today how Kieran Gibbs can help turn the season around.
But Miami only has nine goals through...
He's talking about Curtis, not the players, I suspect. Their "1000%" was trying his system. That doesn't mean they personally liked it or were happy with it, just that they were trying to do their...
Bingo, for the win. Nailed it.
Manning won’t fire either unless ordered by the board. He just extended Ali’s deal and firing him would be an admission of total failure to properly evaluate his report’s performance.
Instead,...
A lot of excuses dripping out when convenient.
I’d go as far as saying he’s the bigger problem.
Armas could still come good, I just doubt it will happen.
But…why is the league’s highest spending club — with a recent record to match —even...
This shitshow is pretty much his. Armas is a symptom of it, a guy who does not appear ready for the role he's been given.
People can talk about improvement all we want, but we still lost on three...
Probably, which is why you do it. I was a reporter and editor at dailies for years; much of the time, you know what the person is going to say when you ask a question. It's getting it on the record,...
Yeah, but we don’t know that, at all.
Curtis hired Armas. Curtis was fired by NY because he couldnt get along with Jesse Marsch... and RB valued a coach whose prior experience was Montreal for one...
Just as speculative. As noted above, his family are still in Canada. The lockdown was still in there when he took the job, so that doesn't really factor.
It's the Galaxy and he's an alum.

In all the considerations of Curtis, losing Vanney has to be part of the calculation. According to the Zavaleta interview, everyone expected him to stay up to a month before the decision. I wonder...
I don't disagree, but I do have to wonder about the viability at MLS level of a coach who doesn't understand that basic principle, who hasn't noticed positional experimentation failing at dozens of...
The piece I found today was a followup that said the long-term plan was given to them by Red Bull Salzburg and was already being succesfully implemented there. They had Curtis do it in NY because he...
Just Red Bulls fans chattering at the time, some claiming inside info. I believe SBI also reported On Msrsch and him bejng unable to work together. It’s based in NY.
EDIT...
