I didn't quote anybody - I was adding to the general conversation. :)

For those who think Vanney is a bad manager, I suggest having an in depth look at the managers in the rest of the league. I did a deep dive like that back before 2017 and it was enlightening.

That Sun article was derived from the 22 minute interview he did on Saturday

If you want to get...

To be fair, (IIRC this was the first question) Vanney was asked "what do you think of what DeBoer said" which was just a little weird.

Doyle just pointed out.

We played 4 different formations in the second half of this game & the team didn't skip a beat defensively.

4-4-2, 5-3-2, 5-4-1 & a 4-2-3-1


People...in this...

Vanney is very very good when under pressure but his system relies upon a good CB general & like all coaches, he needs players that fit his system. He didn't have that for a good chunk of 2018 due to...

Petke is a no go.

"But maybe" on its own sounds like 100%. "But maybe" in reality is likely far less then that.


*********

No to Jason Kreis- he has shown he is unable to deal with large egos.

We lost last night due to mental/physical fatigue. You can not play 6 games in 18 days and not suffer for it. The only way to get around that is to have a much better mid stretch of the season so...

Didn't think we would do it but we made the playoffs.

Vanney stays for next season.

Vanney (and TSN's people too) said after the game that the defensive shape had to be sent up first and with that team, that meant Poz sat.

Not sure about that....

His last manager was Harry Redknapp. The assumption that he had to know based on being in the EPL is just weird in my head given the amount of mangers of that era who were dinosaurs.

Regardless,...

Just thinking out side the box here - we seem to do OK when dipping into the Jupiter League.

Why not a Belgian league manager seeking an adventure?

You can't tell me there are not managers in...

If people are looking at the Montreal situation today & thinking "You know maybe that is not the best of timing" & also want Vanney out now, ur not thinking this all through.

There are 3 types of sub

Like for Like - the sub of one player for another player who is in that position - usually done due to injury or fatigue but sometimes also to provide a slight adjustment...

There is scuttlebutt that Curtis is here to not spend money.

This pretty much should have died when they got Pozuelo as that was not a cheap buy.

But, lets face it, after Lieweke, everybody...

Playoffs = exclusive cup competition

I suspect when we see the one and done games this year, people will be more excited about it all. A lot of drama potential here.

Which is why I don't think...

It has acknowledged that prolonged is bad (although grudgingly and mostly because of the international dates windows).

4 weeks of single games & its done
...

All I'm going to say is I have certain people on ignore on here for a reason.

If our club hired Petke as a manager, I would be phoning my rep saying I'm dropping my seasons.

I have LGBTQ friends & family.

I choose them over TFC.


I dropped the CFL after having been a...

NER went from somebody worse in attitude & tactics then Paul Mariner to the closest equivalent this league has to Bobby Robson.


*******************

Its funny if he doesn't have the ear...

It's a results based job.

For whatever reason, he has been unable to get this group to defend and unable to get them to play the way they all agree they need to play.

The offense is very pretty...

FWIW, there's an Athletic article up about Bez at Columbus by Stejskal.

Precourt pretty much gutted that club on his way out - only 35 staffers in total when Bez took over.

The more I listen to him, the more I see what you are saying here. This also makes me wonder if the people he has around him as assistants are good enough in their roles. IF we make the playoffs...

This argument holds no water - the only reason our squad costs so much is our 3 DP's salary, which is a function of how we approach how DP's were brought in. We have gone now four times in a row...
