      I think it will Jesse Marsh  along with Bobby Symroantis as his assistant  .  While Biello will look after the youth teams

      The Mail is much older than the English Sun (Murdoch) and so even more so than the Canadian Suns.  But it is a tabloid like them  with less nudity but probably more ridiculous headlines.

      Man, I don't think that commanding the room comes down to Canadian-ness. The more big team players you have, the more you need a manager with a track record they can respect.

      That was one strength of that team then, not of the players themselves.  Herdman did what he needed to and I will always be grateful to him for that.  But it stopped working against big opponents; we need a system to get the best out of very good players. It is not a strength going forward, for Davies, who is still here, unlike Herdman, or other players as I have outlined.  Honestly though if we are going off one season - 12 years ago - and what other people say, I lose respect for the position very quickly.  (I guess the comment about "leaving in the middle of the night" might have been a warning flag.) That is before he got into the Red Bull system, before he was tutored by Ragnick.  I guess it makes it understandable why you wouldn't get how gegenpressing would work with Canada, because Marsch wouldn't have really known it yet.   Maybe go look at some of the Coach's Voice stuff that Marsch has done and get a more updated view of how he sees things. The thing he recently did on Leeds' 1-2 win over Liverpool at Anfield in 2022 is really interesting.  Listen to the changes he talks about making for the game and the plans to attack specific players.  It goes against what you were saying, which make some sense if you are going on what he did 12 years ago.  We aren't going win every game just like Leeds, but I think if we can be as competitive as they were under him against teams with superior talent and resources, I would be very happy.    We made click-bait fodder in the Mail on this topic by the way https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-13350055/Ole-Gunnar-Solskjaer-Jesse-Marsch-Canada-Jose-Mourinho-Frank-Lampard.html

      I didn't say versatile. I said adaptable and I wasn't referring to Davies in particular but the whole team. That is exactly how Herdman had them play before the World Cup. He would change the formation and the tactics according to the opponent. And even make similar changes within the game. Marsch has only one way of playing. There will be no surprises with Marsch. I think Herdman's strategy is more rewarding. There are others, like yourself, who prefer Marsch's approach. I think we have world-class forwards, very good midfielders but subpar defenders. Herdman knew this and changed his tactics to protect the back line. In other words, he adapted the system and formation according to the strengths and weaknesses of his players. Marsch has only one approach to the game and he couldn't give a flying fuck what players he has on the team. Well, that's the way he managed when he was here in Montreal and to be honest I haven't followed his career devotedly but all the comments I hear about his managing style leads me to believe he hasn't changed one iota.

      I watch united heavily during Ole’s reign. The joke was that Oleball consists of no tactics, just good vibes. He set up a good counter attacking team, but his united teams could never do much with possession. Thus, he has a better record against big clubs than relegation fodder. My biggest concern though is that he had Carrick and Mckenna, who are both doing wonders in the championship, as assistants. It will be interesting to see how he does without them.
