St. Gallen has hired Fc Wil's coach, Heinz Peischl. I guess that if you can't beat FC Wil, just take their coach. I wonder how this will affect Franki Hedjuk?

I think this new situation can only help Hejduk. When a team takes such a dive and hires a new coach, everyone must re-compete for his place in the team. Since Hejduk in or near the doghouse, he'll get to compete for another chance.
Another thing which may be affecting Frankie is that while he speaks German, Swiss-German is practically a different language. Naturally, he'll need more time to adjust.
I notice the South American and African players seem to fit in better with European squads since they seem to always respond to a coach's instructions with "Ja, chef" (yes boss/sir). Whether he understood what was said or not, the coach thinks he is coachable and will do what he says. If more young American players would learn this technique, perhaps they would benefit from it.

I think Hejduk can only benefit from this change...
