    I'm back. Same shit, week in, week out, despite changing many of the parts. It's on the manager now.

    Bad start to the game. Taking out Casey made no sense. Not convinced Maidana was the turnover machine after watching it keep happening today. Yeah. That's Hack.

    You have to think with the money the club spent this offseason that his seat is getting warm

    Vart's not hard to find. Sits on the same bench every game.

    FFS Moyesey and Hack are one and the same. Who knew that friendly against Everton a few years back would be the only blueprint of Hacktics that's in the bag.

    Plus you could show an IMAX movie on those front teeth...

    I'm in. Get rid of Hack.

    This is easily the most talented Union team to date and Hack seems utterly incapable of managing the team. I don't understand why Union can't hire a coach who simply puts the 11 most talented players on the field and let's them play to their strengths instead of forcing bizarre tactics on them.

    Joined. Im done with him. This team is continually hamstrung by his deficiencies and short-sightedness. I'm sick of it.

    Fwiw, I usually don't have a problem with his XI, unless the Wheeler experiment doesn't end soon. Its his subs and his complete inability to fix in-game issues that does it for me.

    I still think this club has major personnel holes in the front and in the back which represent a talent-gap between them and the better teams in the league. Hack still doesn't have a wealth of talent to work with all over the field. However, he does need to be better at putting the players he does have into the positions that they are best suited for. Mold the system around the players you have, not force them into a cookie-cutter tactic.

    Im ready for him to be out.... Cannot have A- talent with a C- Coach. Dropping 6 points is not other teams being better, its other teams making adjustments while we stay complacent with the same tactics. PTFC was a flue, but MTL and Chicago, Klopas (A MAN DOWN) and Yallop both made the necessary adjustments to win the game.... Hack goes up and man and sticks his thumb in his ass.

    So now that everyone is on board, who is the replacement?

    Not including what Nick Sac will actually be doing of course. (Vart)

    Curtin may be interesting. Didn't he win a title with our youth team a few years back?

    I agree he could be interesting, but I think it's time to find someone with absolutely no real tie to the organization.

    I know that's asking a lot of Lazy Nick...

    Who are our legit options?

    GBS? He did want the Columbus job.

    Robin Fraser? He got a raw deal at Chivas.

    My hope and dream: Danny ********ing Califf.

    I know Union fans love to romanticize the guy, but I can't imagine he'd be an upgrade to Hack.

    I think I'm the only person who wasn't sad to see him go. He seemed like a nice guy and all, but he just wasn't very good.

    Let's bring Alejandro Moreno. At worse he could do the color commentating on his own coaching.

    Let's poach Kinnear. Whatever else you say about his teams, they can hold on to a frickin' lead.

    Way back, I kept suggesting Adrian Heath. He will be coming in with OCSC, so he's out. Once upon a time, there were folks suggesting Caleb Porter, and he has done fairly well in Portland. How about Sasho Cirovski from Maryland? He has a solid college track record, has a proven ability to mold young talent, and has produced a bunch of MLS players.

    Uh.....no thanks. At least you correctly followed the rule of including the word ass in any sentence about Eric Wynalda.

    Yeah, I'm not having him over to dinner and he's definitely divisive,but the Monday pressers would get a shit ton more interesting. Times yours.
