It had to happen, glad it has, but I have no confidence in Manning steering us into a new regime that will be successful.
And Terry Dunfield coaching Lorenzo Insigne... I really have seen it all now.
if you look on the ig page bob got fired,you got likes from poz.criscito,salcedo and you can prob add many more on and off the club
Half the reason I hope we survive and thrive in this league is to defeat American exceptionalism as frequently as possible.
Doyle's entire professional existence is a case study. Just so smug, so overconfident -- in the worst, "hey, I'm an idiot sometimes, don't listen to me, but.... here's 500 words on why they should play with inverted fullbacks next week." I've never seen someone as an "anaylst" be wrong so often and yet so impervious to the humility of noticing it.
Wheeler drives me nuts, but he doesn't pretend to be an expert, and his attitude is always one of trying to get along with people. If you tell him he's an idiot, he'll ask you why, not assume you're wrong. He comes off as a good guy that I'll just never trust for football knowledge. Doyle comes across as a guy you want to punch after one too many beers.
But all of them on the American side do, generally. Wiebe isn't bad, Gass isn't awful. The rest are just all ex-jocks who seem utterly convinced that big US World Cup win is just around the corner. The fact that Balogun is instantly the most talented center forward they've ever had says how far off that prediction is.
Creating a new thread for New Coach discussion.

Please move new coach discussions there.
We can turn the remainder of this thread into a Bob Bradley appreciation thread oh okay maybe not...
Note to Bill Manning (should he ever look here-unlikely): this Board was right.

MLS is a tough, physical league, that emphasizes speed, and features plastic fields, grueling travel, extreme weather, and incompetent refs. - NK Toronto
