TD/Manager hotstove

I hate to say it, but you know what miiiiiiiiiight have a bit of explanatory power here?

Everyone in the league knows there's going to be a drawn-out work stoppage.

 

I doubt (yea, hope) the players don't cave like they did the last contract. With all the new money coming into the league and all the high priced foreign players coming into the league the rank and file GAM players that make up the bulk of the rosters in the league are gonna want a bigger slice of the pie.

 

Please tell me that this is something that happened some time ago that we are hearing about now, and not an action that has just taken place.

 

Article says it's something that happened, doesn't really imply recently.

 

1000%

 

Basti rejected an offer to interview for the HC job

 

That would have been a disaster.

 

What does it say that it was offered to him?

 

I was told

 

I meant, what does it say that the new leaders of the club were contemplating putting their one shot relaunch of the team into their new era into the hands of a beloved legend with exactly zero managing experience?


Not much to the positive.


I'm not trying to be snarky and negative. I just don't see alotta forward thinking, assured, expert, controled activity taking place.

 

Oh I'd imagine it was just a courtesy to him.

They'd never dream of doing anything so fan-pleasing and decisive.

 

I believe that the players are due back in mid-January for training. I know that the CCL teams are back to work on January 5th or so.

Under Nelson's leadership, we did not have a full squad to start training unless you want to count the academy players, USL hopefuls, and trialists as a full squad.

 

I agree, of course, I think you need to check your sarcasm meter.

 

Consulting firm? Lol.

 

Considering the alternative is "Have Nelson do it himself", I'm more than ok with this.

 

I would say better than Paunovic and Yallop, likely not as good as Klopas.

So, probably, disaster.

Actually, I think having Bastian learn about coaching first as an assistant would make sense, but straight to head coach 10 weeks after retiring? No, I don't think so.

 

I did sense the sarcasm, but you are much more clever than I am.

 

It's December and they've hired a consulting firm to find a TD?
5 weeks before the team gathers to start preparing for the new fangled Football Club?
No prob, the consulting firm hired for rebranding/logo did a bang up job.

 

They hired one a while ago, they're closing in on a guy now

 

a good one?

 

We'll see. It's a European

 

It's not a purse, it's European!

 

Just don't say "fanny pack" in England.

Oh, and don't wear a "fanny pack"...anywhere.

 

It's all good, @Mac97 has us covered!

This. 100% this.

 

57 workdays until Opening Day...assuming they work Christmas Eve and New Year's Eve and take no vacations...

...and their first step is to hire consultants.

Pete (isn't sure that's the "fast way" to do things)
