    No trolling is looking to elicit a response. I am simply giving my take, regardless of anyone's response.

    And yet with the 1000 other things this FO does wrong does anyone think they are capable of answering that question?

    Yet while I watched his Chile sides I never took note of who the manager was. Two SA Championships is impressive but not overwhelming. Chile has done little in the World Cup in that same time span.

    This is hardly an impressive resume.

    2002–2003 Rochdale (player-manager)
    2003–2006 Carlisle United (player-manager)
    2006–2007 Preston North End
    2008–2010 Shrewsbury Town
    2010–2011 Stockport County
    2012 Northwich Victoria
    2017– England U20


    Colombia while finishing better than they have did not win any hardware under his guidance.

    This is what you bring me, I'll keep Benny-Ball thanks.

    I was one of those people who wanted Pekerman for the national team instead of Klinsmann.

    Gallardo is a former DCU player who is head coach of River Plate in Argentina. He beat Scheloto in the Copa Libertadores finals last year that was marred by biazzaro violence.

    Also you should note that coaches with better pedigrees are player magnets. Tata at Atlanta led some South Americans to take a chance on MLS. GBS could end up drawing Christian Pavon to the Galaxy.

    Benny ain’t drawing shit to Audi field.

    Old, slow, and nowhere to go.

    Also - he sure as shit wasn’t drawn by Ben Olsen.

    My guess is they met his asking price.
