    RB Salzburg could be a dangerous team in Europa League if they get 3rd in that group.

    Robin Fraser now has as many road wins as coach of the Rapids as Hudson did in his Rapids career.

    Those votes were from before the season began. It's been left up so we can see just how off we were.

    Yeah...somehow Torrent and De boer had more votes than Hudson, Friedel and Koch......

    If we did a vote for current coaches I wonder how many votes Gio would get?

    Waibel wasn't just critical; the lawsuit suggested he had a plan to exit the team in the offseason. Doing it now is probably best.

    If Dynamo ownership had a brain, they would fire Jordan and hire Craig on the spot. It would win them so much goodwill with the fans on so many levels.

    Instead Jordan is doing a Facebook Live next week that will be comical.

    The Montreal Impact announced Saturday the nomination of Olivier Renard as the club’s sporting director.

    Olivier Renard, 40, was the sporting director of Belgian club KV Mechelen, from 2014 to 2016, occupying the same role with Standard de Liège, from 2016 to 2019. More recently, he sat on the executive board of Royal Antwerp FC as a sporting consultant.

    If the Rapids complete a miracle run to the playoffs Conor Casey and Robin Fraser should both win Manager of the Year.

    Yeah but Anthony Hudson laid the foundation for the turnaround. He was just unlucky to get fired before

    Clearly, I mean, you can't have a turnaround unless you're going the wrong direction in the first place.

    *Ponders how crazy that the runaway winner for getting fired at the start of the season is likely to get a vote or two for Manager of the Year...*

    I think there was a time, Bluecat, when you were in the lead to join the firing squad for ol' Heath? ;)

    Maybe Adrian, like Dostoyevsky, needed to get a whiff of the gunpowder before awakening to his potential.

    I was gathering all the rifles.

    And I would have tied Manny Lagos to the next post.

    Hard to argue with this, the only other coach with a decent case is Bradley

    MLS related fun fact. Salzburg's backup keeper today (and for most of this year so far) was a player that was beaten out for the number two spot in Philly by a 20 year old kid from Harvard. So he has gone from playing in front of a couple hundred people at Talent Energy Stadium in USL games to on the bench at Anfield in a UCL group stage game in less than half a year.

    So the Earthquakes managed to not suck for one year, made almost no improvements mid-season, and likely still won’t even make the playoffs, before their first competent coaching staff bails for greener pastures...
