Sir Alex repeatedly said the second a player becomes bigger than the manager - the manager has lost the team.
If the stuff about Bradley doing what he wants is true , then Vanney HS lost the team and needs to be replaced by someone with more authority.
He might be good with lower profile players, but if the DP's are calling the shots we are done.
Vanney has to go. Simple as that.
I ask this question every time.. Who do you all want to be hired as a replacement?
I saw someone mention Fraser.. seriously? a guy with pretty much the same amount of experience?
Petke? Does he bring with him a CB and a RB which is what we need more than a management change?
An international manager? A guy who's never been involved in a cap system or around players that are full of athletic ability but have no technique?
^^offer Arena or Schmidt 6 million a year and see what happens.
Harry Redknapp would be hilarious. Anyway, how many more games do we have to lose before Vanney gets sacked?
We should give Nigel Pearson some cash to come here. He'd sort out our attitude problems fast.
If Lagerway is turning down the MLSE dump truck of cash. Arena and Schmidt sure as hell ain't taking if either.
4 minutes to midnight now. Clock is ticking.
A big part of the problem is the fans and supporters on the message boards and social media.
The front office is so eager to please the fans in general that they are influenced into stupid irrational decisions.
Obviously no one should be fired until Lieweke's replacement is found. That person should keep and fire the GM and coach as he sees fit. Not be tied to them because they were just hired in a stupid knee jerk reaction.
Doing so is irrational/stupid/short sighted/and so TFC.
We keep playing like we are and by the time we reach 7 home games we'll be writing off the year at the end of June. Or we could squeak into 6th in the weak as shit East and then throw a party for Vanney and give him an extension. I'm going with Pookie on this, the playoff bar is a low one and I think we should expect something better than what we are seeing. Weekly.
this season is a joke. might as well burned my $2500.
FUUUCCCCKKKK ML$E!! FUCCCCKKK BEZ!!! FUUUCCCKK VANNEY!!
And yet nobody listens...
"We can get Bradley" He aint leaving Europe
"Throw cash at Arena or Schmidt" They are arent leaving the best run teams, already on good money and earned quite a bit in their long careers,living in far more favourable locales to come to a MLSE run shit show.
And an experienced European coach isn't going to be a magic bullet. Look at Owen Coyle. Houston may have won on Sunday but they are struggling overall and Dynamo fans aren't convinced about him
Seriously. The only hope is that Gandini is hired as prez and takes a few months to get the lay of the land and get his own people in.
edit: if im in charge of running this club and i'm looking to hire a new coach, im not looking at Europe. Im looking at Mexico.

Interesting about looking to Mexico for a coach. I wonder why a lot of teams don't do that in the first place, unless its for a desire to give American coaches the experience. When I think of Mexican coaches, I think of Antonio Mohamed. I remember when he was the coach of club Tijuana a few years back and they went on a magnificent run. I think he's with Monterrey now but he would be an interesting proposition with experience.
I'd really like to change my avatar, so no firing just yet.
End of the season, at least.
its the lack of tactical coherence, the giving up goals easily, and the poor man management that are the issues.
under Vanney, the second half against Vancouver was excellent and showed our potential. ( we were lucky to still be in the game given he sitter that was missed but that's an aside). The next three games we were horribly weak defensively and playing Hagglund out of position against a pace-y player was a huge mistake. The next two games we eked out victory against poor opponents, and the home opener the tactics, formation, use of Bradley, and motivation were all wrong. Last night pluses and minuses: the formation may be better and Bradley used better, but again we are exposed defensively. On balance, not very good.

You have to ask the question though if part of the revolving door of coaches is simply part of the culture, or is it an effect of continually hiring inexperienced people and watching them learn on the job. Personally, I think it's a bit of both.
Although I think the whole listening to the fans and sacking based on season ticket sales mentality went out the door with Anselmi and company.
They main goal should be to hire the correct President. Once that person is in place they will then implement the top down structure. Still early, see what Vanney gets out of the team. The results haven't been amazing, but 9 points in 7 road games is good in MLS. Last night we won but ultimately didn't advance. Defense is the issue. If this isn't addressed in the summer window then idk. No cap room is not an excuse, we knew that the team needed 1-2 CB's last year, because Caldwell's health was already in question.
