PREKI IS NOT THE ONE MISSING SCORING OPPORTUNITIES. THE PLAYERS ARE.
IF WE ARE GOING TO QUESTION THE COACH OR THE FO, THEN THE SAME SHOULD APPLY TO THE PLAYERS.
CORRECT ME IF I AM WRONG BUT, WASN`T PREKI THE COACH OF THE YEAR LAST SEASON AND WE WERE ALL CHEERING FOR HIM?
WE (THE UNION ULTRAS) MUST SUPPORT THE FRONT OFFICE, THE COACHING STAFF AND THE PLAYERS AT ALL TIMES.
NO ONE PREDICTED THE SEASON-LONG INJURIES TO MOST OF OUR STARTING LINE UP. IT IS TOUGH TO LOSE, BUT WHAT CAN THE COACH OR THE FRONT OFFICE DO ON THE PITCH?
GETTING BETTER PLAYERS? MONEY IS THE ISSUE AND WE DO NOT HAVE MUCH.
I SAY SAVE THAT MONEY FOR OUR OWN VENUE, OR AT LEAST GET US OUT OF THE TOOL BOX, SO WE WON`T HAVE TO DEAL WITH THOSE RENT-A-COPS GAYLAXY ASS-KISSERS EVERY GAME.

preki was the coach of the year last year because he inherited bob bradley's team/players (who just happened to be coach of the year himself). then bradley's right hand man leaves this year and we turn to garbage.

bottom line is this. the role of a coach is to put his team in the best position possible to win games (regardless of talent). he's not doing that.
the houston game pretty much sums up the season.
houston gets 4 goals before the 35th minute. preki decides to make changes AT HALFTIME. and those changes involve taking out starters and conceding defeat. we had 7 starters available (why he never put in razov was beyond me). that drubbing was all on preki.
another random tidbit. preki has made it known that he didnt bother researching/scouting tauro fc until he decided to pop in a video of them on the plane to panama. :rolleyes:

AGAIN: the role of a coach is to put his team in the best position possible to win games. those are just 2 examples why he's failing as a coach.

ive probably gone through a phone-book type list of preki's screwups this year. itd be redundant for me to keep posting that.
this has nothing to do with picking up better players, its about coaching.

[agutierrez]

I think Preki has done a decent job considering.

Think about it this way. Take the top 5 guys out of any team all season long and what do you end up with? Thats what we have been faced with.

I think our biggest problem is obvious. No goals. Thats what happens when your starting strikers go down, then your reserve strikers get injured.

"preki was the coach of the year last year because he inherited bob bradley's team/players"

And those same players are still on the squad. Preki has the exact same starting 11 as last year (except for Brad) so why would that be a factor in determining Preki's ability to coach? The only difference is that 6 of those 11 have been injured for long periods.

Preki stated one goal this year. Strengthen an already great squad. He did. Alecko will be paying off for years to come. Braun and Nurse look better than Merlin and Jonny C. Talley was a God send until he was injured.

The truth is on the field. We need goals. They will come. Both Ante and Galindo are getting better and Alecko will compliment them well (a great aquisition from Preki).

Something to think about before we tar and feather the guy.

if preki has the same players as last year, why wouldnt that be a basis for determining preki's coaching ability. after all, good players will be good players but only a good coach makes a bunch of scrubs work well with one another.

[El Assesino]

Commandante Speaks for himself and not for the Union Ultras. That being said ******** Preki !!! Fire him.

Preki got coach of the year cus Bradley assembled a great squad prior to leaving. Preki's ********ed everything up and his coaching cost us last years playoff games to KC

He's to stubborn to adapt his game, when we have injured players. A better coach would have glued a ok squad together by now.

[Going Mobile]

I love Prekis, hes a great guy and a good family man, thats counts for alot in my world, BUUT he also failed to adjust to glaring needs recently, Like keeping Thornton in goal after going down 4-0 in Houston and not replacing him YET.
IMO Playing Panchito in back when we clearly need his prescence up front.
Not adressing the need for a striker after losing so many to injuries early in the year.
You can't fire the players adn this team is in need of a shakeup. We haven't scored since the Galaxy game and haven't won since I can't remember actually, I looked it up JULY 17th, Over a month!
Luckily we are only one win away from getting back in the race adn if we can put a couple of wins together, we'll be OK but theres only 9 games left, we need to start NOW.

[MARCH_]

I predict Preky and his staff will lose their jobs by the end of the season by not making the playoffs.

[echo-2]

I predict that the front office dose not do anything and we keep going down the drain, just like when Guzan left.

I understand your frustration, but there is nothing he can do when players are not healthy! Yes, some players are the same as last year. However, you should know that a healthy Galindo would be scoring goals and pulling defenders with him with as well as allowing other players to have more space.

Yes a good coach can get scrubs to work well with each other as you say!

I don't care who you would consider a good coach! If you are suggesting Hugo Sanchez, like you have done in other threads...
That tells me you need to do more research regarding what is a good coach and what is not.

You can be the best coach in the world, but if you have sh it to work with, when you are all done, it will still be sh it!

Have faith in Preki, he knows what he is doing!
Vamos Chivas!!

This is total BS! It's not Prekis fault that players are hurt, you are right! BUT, Preki was given the opportunity to sign players in the off season and he faild big time. Here we are debating if Bofo, Morales, Bravo, Maroni.....ect are the best fit for the club and this guy gose and signs either people that are injury prone (Wicky), Players that are not ready (Braun), players that suck big time (Harris, Thorton), and mediocre players (Curtin, Paldini, Chiles, Savage). Now he wants to use the excuse that players are hurt? Ok use the players you signed....oh yea they suck. The only players that i will not criticize is Eskandarian, and Talley because those guys are ruff necks ! so please spare me the excuses! Preki is at fault for signing wrong players, and poor decisions on the pitch (benching Flores while on fire). And lets not forget about finding a decent replacment for Guzan. Oh yea one more thing before I leave, I was at the season ticket holder party at the beginning of the season when one of the VP's was on the microphone and said that money was not an object! so go ahead and keep being naive. Some of you are just as stubborn as Preki and cannot admit being wrong.


I only wants best for our team.....and Preki has ran out of Mojo!

PEACE!

Damn that's harsh. I believe Shawn Hunter said in an interview earlier this year that money was not an object.

I`VE NEVER SAID I WAS THE SPOKESPERSON FOR THE UNION ULTRAS ASESINO. I STILL THINK THAT WE SHOULD SUPPORT OUR FRONT OFFICE, COACHING STAFF AND PLAYERS. IF HALF OF THOSE PLAYERS WERE NOT INJURED, WE WOULD BE LOOKING FORWARD TO THE PLAYOFFS.FIRE PREKI? LET CUE OR THE HUNTER MAKE THAT DECISION... IN THE MEANTIME, SAVE THAT ANGER AND FRUSTRATION FOR THE GAMES AND TRANSFORM THEM INTO AGANTE!!! VAMOS CHIVAS USA!!!

[agutierrez]

Money is not an object, but a salary cap is. And so is the lack of a DP spot.

woah! what?
i NEVER EVER EVER said hugo sanchez should be considered a candidate to take over as coach. he's a joke of a person, let alone coach. please dont question my intelligence with that nonsense.

(i remember someone posted a picture up of him, but thats about all ive ever seen)

back to preki,
again, good coaches learn his players stregnths and abilities and sets the strategy from it. booting the ball up and going with a constant counter scheme (and neglecting our talented midfield) isnt it. amidst all these injuries we've had a long stretch of pancho, nags, marsch, and kljestan and totally neglected them. we were also relatively healthy to start the season, and even then it was pretty obvious we weren't playing up to par.
and no, i sincerely doubt galindo's health has anything to do with this. aside from the fact that he only has 1 goal in 9 appearances (that first game where we could only muster up a LUCKY goal due to dallas' defensive error), our defense and mids havent been able to get the ball into the attacking 1/3 of the field anyways. a counter would be galindo's benefit, and that's not exactly good coaching football anyways.

like ive been saying since early this year - this is martin vasquez's team, not prekis.

as for your "you can be the best coach in the world, but if you have shit to work with ...it will be shit" comment:
see: gus hiddink

besides, its not like our players are amateurs, they're professionals. and if coached with the right motivation and technique, they shouldnt ever be down 4-0 after 35 minutes of play (followed by preki immediately throwing in the towel and not bothering anymore)

[soyjimador]

word.
but let me throw in my 2 pennies
1. wicky wasnt injury prone when signed. and i still consider him to be a very worthwhile signing for his pedigree and contract offer (200k for a world cup star isnt bad at all)
2. jim curtin is better than claudio, in my opinion. again, decent signing.
3. eskandarian of all people should be labeled as the #1 injury prone player IN THE LEAGUE. so you shouldnt over look that. he's good, yeah. but only when he's on the field.

but other than that, you got it spot on. lets start a revolution:cool:

[AndSomeAreAngels]

IMO Playing Panchito in back when we clearly need his prescence up front.
Not adressing the need for a striker after losing so many to injuries early in the year.

Panchito is a much better LB than LM, IMO. I am all for sticking him back there for good. He's tenacious and works hard on defense; I like when he gets forward occasionally, but when he's playing predominantly in the attack he has zero vision and even less tactical acumen.

We signed Nurse, which is probably the best we can expect without a DP slot. Aren't many good strikers out there, and even less that we can realistically expect to sign. I'm not sure what kind of striker people expect us to go out and sign without being able to pay more than a few hundred thousand/year.

My biggest beef with Preki is his stubbornness in not playing El Sueno. What else must the kid do? He throws Braun out there whenever he can and he isn't half the player Flores is.

If we fire him, I'm just not sure we have many other options out there that are better than him.

[elchivamayor]

i think preki is ok but he needs to make better desicions like putting kenedy in and nurse more time i still believe in my team

[Going Mobile]

BRING IN COBI !!!!1

imagine what that would do to the Galaxy faithful. He was just repalced and lost his assistants job and is ripe for the picking NOW.

[Gameface]

i think preki is ok but he needs to make better desicions like putting kenedy in and nurse more time i still believe in my team

At this point, his firing would serve no purpose. My lack of faith is with the GM and upper management(AEG). Preki has his hands tied, by a penny pinching FO that sells its top talent mid-season and refuses to deliver a franchise player or even a competent replacement.

My beef with Preki is over decisions that spew locker room poison. We have two developing GKs that get tossed in favor of an out-of-shape has been that hasn't earned the spot. Hell, he deserves to be benched for poor performance! His desire to stick with Atiba at Nurse's expense is also terrible. He snubbed the guy from playing in front of family in Panama and wasted OUR time with Atiba. This stuff kills motivation.

I'll reserve my final judgement until October!
