www.bigapplesoccer.com/article.php?article_id=697 Even if the Metrostars don't take MLS Cup this year, it sounds like it will only be a matter of time before Bradley brings one home (assuming he sticks around long enough). And I don't think that it's simply a coincidence that Gaven has developed so quickly. Sure, Eddie's talented, but I gotta believe Bob has had something to do with it. Mo may be on to something here.
That's one possibility, but if he really didn't think Bradley was first rate, he simply wouldn't have said anything and would be no worse for it.
This wouldn't be preparing us for another loss vs. Chicago, would it? Food for thought, that piece, and from one who has supped at some large banquet tables in Europe, and seen the chefs close up. Enough of that, I'm getting hungry. Is there any chance Mo might be tapped for the SLC job? I've heard Samson or an ex-player -- voices in the wind, let's say -- and that seems to be the general trend, especially looking toward former players who might have managerial skills to match their on-field experience.
Johnston appears to be as good a choice as any and better than most. He's got playing experience in Europe any player in the league will pay attention to, as well as a few years playing in MLS that should help him in terms of relating to the team in the same way it's helping Nowak. Add the two years as Bradley's assistant, and it's hard to imagine a more qualified guy out there. Mo also has experience navigating the waters of religious extremism, so he should be a perfect fit.
