    I got it from the Fanatic blog. No more info.

    I don't understand this move....after rattling off three victories...don't get it.

    Re: Anelka fired?

    I assume it's budgetary or political.

    He was a Vaids-affiliated guy, after all.

    Re: Anelka fired?

    Well...this came well after I expected it...but this makes me think they will be around next year. Which is goooo-oooood.

    Why would they bother firing him and bringing someone else in, and pay Anelka, if this was it?

    Wow!! How random! Must be for financial reasons. You don't normally fire a coach on a winning streak.

    Must have been decided on before (or during) the winning streak, would be my guess

    Re: Anelka fired?

    If it's true, it could be an encouraging sign that Cooper's wriggling free of the Vaid contract entanglements and asserting some direct control over the team.

    Re: Anelka fired?

    Well from what I was told Cooper liquidated some assets and has the team under control. At least for the season, if not longer.

    The players were paid bonuses for their showing in the Cup too, if what I was told is true (which, up to this point, the source hasn't been wrong).

    He had probably said something like ''fils de pute'' to Cooper, all Anelka's do that once in a while

    It will be interesting to see how their youth experience translate to the pro level. Vansbuskirk sounds like an excellent choice for an assistant.

    Bad week for Anelkas. I hope there isn't a third brother out there. 'Cause I think he is getting fired too.

    I was afraid we'd hire Domenech. He's out of a job and he's a crazy Frenchman, seemed like our kinda guy. :D

    I like this move. We're a St. Louis team, and he's a St. Louis guy.

    It fits.

    Re: BREAKING: AC St. Louis names Dale Schilly new head coach

    I wonder if this was their first choice for head coach. Wish I had a in with AC so I could know who they tried to go after if this wasnt their first choice.

    Would have liked someone with a little more professional exp. Everyone one has to get their shot sometime before they make it big. Hopefully this is his!

    Re: BREAKING: AC St. Louis names Dale Schilly new head coach

    Do you think Cooper's management partners in Gallaghers "advised" him to make this move? Seems like a insider hiring.

    In any case, at least they have a coach. Best of luck against LA.

    Re: BREAKING: AC St. Louis names Dale Schilly new head coach

    Maybe so but for all we know these might of been the coaches Cooper was looking at before (if rumors are true) the Vaids forced Anelka on the team. But who knows.. Though if the other rumors are true with him somehow working the vaids out of the contracts finally and being able to invest his own money again. That's definetly a positive thing for now.

    From the Grapevine Soccer Network: "Reports from St. Louis said that players were unhappy with Anelka’s training sessions and his game management."

    I'm just thinking that Anelka's not a soccer coach.

    There's certainly nothing on his CV to suggest you're wrong.
