You seriously going to use money as a basis? Especially with our few overpaid guys due to continuity?

All the guys you listed were either given rosters better than ours (Atlanta & LAFC) or more balanced (Seattle). Discrediting Vanney because our squad is good should work the same for these guys. The...

I was going to point this out on the expansion draft thread but you're 100% right. Sign of a great manager is getting more from less. With great rosters you expect them to pull through even with a...

Only to people who haven't been closely watching LAFC for a while. I called that result right away and won that bet nicely.

And where's he at now?

That's all you need to know about him. Now he has all the time in the world to stare at the clouds instead of doing it for 90 minutes 34 times a year for us.

Don't tell the USMNT heirarchy. They still think they got the best tactician available in their exhaustive 18 month worldwide search for a new manager.

I would consider it a blip if our next couple years after this one are solid. Then you're looking at 5 of 6 years being good.

He's done well but the thing I've been waiting for is our 'other level' of play. We've seen it @ LAFC. I think it must be a Vanney plan to keep that under wraps and drop it as a surprise at some...

Vanney already Technical Director so maybe assistant GM or VP unless they invent something new.

If they want the same style of play and it's Vanney's call then I guess Rabasca internally or...

I know it won't happen for many reasons but if Vanney moves up or out I'd like to see Petke.

We haven't had an emotional and fun manager since Carver plus he's MLS proven. Maybe a little crazy...

I would unless the new CBA has some surprises.

Bradley will be a legend here but sometimes you need to refresh the team and I think we're there now.

Next offseason Curtis/Manning thing should...

I think a legit 100% defensive minded DM would really help a lot with the defensive mindset and possibly sort out the Poz position too. Poz needs to be in the middle of the pitch, preferrably right...

I guess benching a DP will make an impact but I think benching Bradley as captain would have been a better move about 2 months ago. But whatever, if it has it's desired effect then good. We'll see.

Is there a possibility that our poor results in the second half are lack of fitness? Or are we all sold that it's lack of proper management? Either way....

I would rather him see out the year but if we blow this one then either way we're finished. I hated it when we fired Nelson at a similar point and brought in Vanney but in hindsight it did give him a...

But just to Vanney and how he is doing; there are teams right now with far worse rosters and much less continuity performing much better and far more consistently than we have been since early last...

This is possible but I am starting to wonder if Curtis is just there as a more 'on the job and noticable' person of the TFC FO but in reality is just doing whatever Manning tells him to do.

This is a good point. When he was there I thought he was alright but nothing special. The aftermath of his exit and the new knowledge of the level of dysfunction there really says something about how...

Whenever we get a new manager I bet it's someone with USMNT ties, as player or manager. Seeing as it's an ongoing thing here for years it must be from Manning. Bez isn't doing it in Columbus and...

I missed the 'like this' line. Sorry about that but still, we won't do any move like this.

I can see someone like Ramos or Sarachan because of their work with the USSF (and our addiction to...

But none of the guys I mentioned are European. All South American.

Regardless, it doesn't matter. We get a new manager and he will be either from the NYRB chain or from the USMNT system. I see...

Would be nice to get a guy similar to Almeyda, GBS, or Martinez as manager for their connections in their previous countries and for their scouting knowledge of potential recruitable players.

I had a nice delusional dream of Rafa for a little while until China dropped a truck of money on him.

Seeing as we're hooked on everything from the USMNT system, why not get Tab Ramos as next manager?

The guy is good, obviously can develop youth players, and has the background the management...

I said defensive not crazy!
