    Yeah, I think a lot of people here(that I know anyway) are a bit skeptical about him coaching the team. But I think we're all just happy to a team here locally to support. If the team does well, and the game is exciting, most people won't care where he came from. While it's not the MLS team everyone has hoped for, it's better than nothing at all.

    I agree. And, although I'm starting to sound like a broken record I'll say it again, it's Division II soccer in the US, just give the guy a chance and see what happens.

    I'm willing to believe in the guy, but has anyone heard exactly what he has planned for team. What formation does he play to use? And also where he is looking to get players from?

    This guy almost ruined one of Scotland's oldest football teams, signed a bunch of crap players from France, gave them long term contracts that the club couldn't cancel and has no experience whatsoever.
