Personally, I'm undecided about Buckle. I still think he's hamstrung by the roster he's given. Assuming Smith is responsible for that, I'd be good with: From what I here, Graham Smith may be out...I think Buckle has been fine. Players at his disposal just didn't finish chances this year https://t.co/mzW2Erm4nH— Evan Ream (@EvanReam) October 29, 2017
I was about ready to blast Buckle, but then remembered he lost his leading goal scorer (Iwasa), and a starting center back (DaFonte) to start the year, and then lost another starting defensive CB (Rodrgiuez) and the team's captain and center midifielder (Barerra). I agree with mangerson that the roster is wonky, and i don't like Buckle's substitutions, or lack of......but looking at how he was dealt several setbacks out of his control, and still got these guys into the second round of playoffs, well, it wouldn't surprise me if he is still has the job next spring.
so Graham Smith took responsibility for bad signings and jumped before he was pushed? Is Warren going as well as he set the piss poor budget for this team? The way I see it, WS withheld funds, GS spent said funds on players he chose as Director of Soccer and Buckle had to make do with what he had left after losing half his team... gonna be an interesting close season...
Where they breaking up the band? Hearing that Sac Republic assistant Adam Smith is likely to become the first head coach in Fresno FC history.— Evan Ream (@EvanReam) November 2, 2017 Are just an opportunity for Adam? Or, maybe GS is headed to Fresno, too?
I get that. But with it comes the expectation that the ownership (associated with the Kings) is going to fix it all. That’s a depressing thought.....
AS going to Fresno? With his GS - dad? And possibly WS all with the SRFC blueprint for success? I'd have thought vegas would have brighter lights for the smiths... Is any of this confirmed? Or reasons for such departures confirmed?
The picture doesn't work. It's just an "X" on my end.................which is actually fitting (Both the X, and the fact that whatever its supposed to be, doesn't work. Much like the team composition)
Fresno can't match his ego or ambition - sac was his best way into MLS - he'll probably retire now or go to the bright lights of Vegas
