These Vieira stories, har har har.
It's going to be someone from the 2008-2014 RSL setup. Start googling the staff and players from that team. Jeff Cassar. Miles Joseph. Kreis. CJ Brown. Nick Rimando for all I know. Manning will see everybody in Toronto as having too many attachments to Bez/Vanney, who were here before him.
That is how the world works. Guys go with people they know and trust. Manning wants to be comfortable, which means there is no way Manning is ceding this decision to the capologist. But don’t worry, Ali will be first to the mike to declare it was his hire. Manning may not even go the the press conference.
