It's either press nonsense or a ton of spin from the CSA to make Marsch look like the best appointment. I like Clement as his experience coaching vastly out does everyone on the list but he has been poor anytime he has been the top guy and managing.
Zero chance we seriously sounded out Mourinho. If we did then there is absolutely no chance we end up with the shortlist that is being currebtly reported. If we were serious about paying the type of money needed for mourinho then there are surely much better qualified people out there that would take the job if mourinho type of money is there.
I'm going with press nonsense (out of hope) as the names bandied around simply don't make much sense unless they asked the opinion of someone that's been asleep 6 years as to who is a hip up and coming manager that's available.
I think it's very unlikely that Biello gets the permanent job and more unlikely re Smyrniotis. Kevin Blue will want to hire "his guy" and continue to make changes that moves the program upwards vs maintaining the status quo. It's a big decision and I'm sure he knows it.
This was brought up several years ago when James played for Midtjylland. I believe the general consensus was that if you make 5 appearances than you are considered part of the Championship.
Agreed! I always been really curious as to where CPL level would approximately sit on the English pyramid. I saw a National League match this summer and felt CPL was a bit above the quality I saw there. Wrexham is now essentially a League 1 team, so i would expect them to be stronger than most CPL sides, but an All Star game would be really intriguing.
Andrei Dumitru (2006) made his first team debut for Toronto FC yesterday in the Canadian Championship preliminary round vs Simcoe Rovers. Played the second half from what I can tell.
I don't think so.
Looks like they other friendlies Wrexham are playing on this tour are against Chelsea and Bournemouth.
Although I did see a rumor on Twitter about a CPL all star game. This would be a perfect opponent for something like that
The way it looks it won't be Mauro or any Canadian coach at this point. Too many international names out at this point. What's the CSA going to say " we interviewed all these coaches and (any Cdn coach) is the most qualified. I think a Cdn coach would be good for us after the 2026 WC.
