http://espnfc.com/blog/_/name/futbolmexico/id/2434?cc=5901 I love that he came out and hopefully he doesnt hold back on how jacked up these higher ups in Mex soccer is.
Awesome stuff. I think this article most likely posted the juiciest details from the book, nonetheless I would be happy to read it in its entirety. I'm grateful he made these statements publicly. More pressure for the FMF to juggle. Vergara has been made to look like a total ass. I use to defend him, but it's clear to me the man is a cancer and thinks hard nose tribunal style punishment tactics work in fixing football problems. I'm glad his Chivas are in the shitter. The teams near decade long funk is truly an extension of his ownership handling of the club.
Thnx for sharing ChiquiNalgas, these quotes are gold: "It was absurd," he writes. "I could not report to several different people who all had different interests. I'd always been clear that I wanted to report to one person... but that's not how it works in Mexico. "There it was important to make allies with the people high up in the football establishment, as if that would help the national team win games." He even explains why Chivas Le Sucks, lol: Eriksson reserves particular ire for Chivas owner Jorge Vergara, who he had to meet to explain the loss on Feb. 11, 2009 against the United States in Columbus, Ohio. Eriksson says, "It was almost like I was answering accusations at some kind of tribunal," and adds that Vergara demanded to know why the goalkeeping coach hadn't been fired and why the team stayed in a certain hotel. "Each question was dumber than the next," opines the current manager of Chinese club Guangzhou.
I wish Vergarga would just resign from his post but I know better since hes an egotistical bastard who wont stop doing it his way. Thats so stupid El Tri works like that. Why the fvck should the owners of liga mx teams call the shots of what goes on in the NT they are buisness men that dont know shit about futbol. Compean is almost as Dumb as Vergara in this case. Puro mafia man smh
all this shit is old. A couple club owners are the only ones with power as long as that stays Mexico will always be mediocre
Wasn't it Vergara that wanted Sven out here? It doesn't surprise me though that he questioned everything. I'm surprised he didn't get pissed at Sven about who his tailor is, or who shined his shoes.
