Trident Posted May 31, 2008 Share Posted May 31, 2008 Nique De Santis NDS out, MDS in! If nick can't right this ship, then it's time to move onto the next letter in the alphabet and hire Marc Dos Santos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LUFC Posted May 31, 2008 Share Posted May 31, 2008 Same here. I still can't believe NDS is still the coach. I know he's good friends with Saputo and all but enough is enough![xx(] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rodfern2007 Posted May 31, 2008 Share Posted May 31, 2008 Their next game against Miami should be his last chance to turn things around. If they lose again, and worse, fail to score again, then it's time for the axe. This cannot continue any longer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tmcmurph Posted June 2, 2008 Share Posted June 2, 2008 How much can you blame lack of scoring (Montreal's big problem right now) on a coach? It's not like he's playing Lilleyball. They are attacking and getting plenty of good quality chances they just can't finish. They aren't getting blown out by 2 or 4 goals every other game so defensively they are doing good. I don't think another coach will solve the finishing problem. I don't know what will. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tintin Posted June 2, 2008 Share Posted June 2, 2008 I agree with tmcmurph. I watched the last league match against Portland and the last cup match against Toronto. I thought the TFC match was fairly even, but yes, they couldn't put the ball in the back of the net. In the league match, they completely dominated Portland. I think it's just a run of bad luck that may sort itself before long. I think it's a bit early to put the head of NDS on a spike. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Footpassion Posted June 3, 2008 Share Posted June 3, 2008 tmcmurph and Tintin, in De Santis' system (if there's one), there is a lack of cohesion between midfielders and strikers. That is THE problem. When a striker is left alone to attack, he can't succeed that much. Also, players are fed up with De Santis (Remember last in November when he said he would change? He DIDN'T!).

We have had problems scoring every year DeSantis has been our coach and that is no coincidence. Factor in that we have probably had the highest player budget in the league in most of these years and that is clearly unacceptable. DeSantis is clueless as a coach and is disliked by the players. The Ultras have been chanting for him to resign. The only guy who likes him is Saputo. I thought he was gone after the Portland game but surely if we lose to Miami he must be finished.

Calgary Boomer Posted June 3, 2008 Share Posted June 3, 2008 How about a good old fashion SACKING Poll? I think it will be right after the Miami game. You know Miami went into Portland and beat the Timbers...they won't be easy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tintin Posted June 3, 2008 Share Posted June 3, 2008 I'm in Vancouver, and saw a pretty even game against Toronto, and the league game I saw against Portland, Montréal were all over Portland and had about 20 shots, but just couldn't bury them. Maybe that match was a one off, but Montréal sure looked good that night. Having said that, I have only seen those two matches and I didn't know that NDS doesn't get along with the players. No wonder they're not scoring. Thank you for passing the information along. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grizzly Posted June 3, 2008 Share Posted June 3, 2008 Yes we have looked good in all three of our home games this year yet we have lost two of them and tied one and have not scored a goal yet at home. We have a 2-5-1 record this year in the USL and are in 9th place out of 11 teams despite having one of the biggest player budgets in the league. The aim of the game is to win not to look good losing.

Calgary Boomer Posted June 4, 2008 Share Posted June 4, 2008 Especially given the expense of their pre-season. The players are tuning out...it's just a matter of who the replacement will be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When you look at an overview of the season, it's more than the players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rodfern2007 Posted June 5, 2008 Share Posted June 5, 2008 Well another goaless draw, another game without a goal. Useless, useless, f***ing useless. NDS OUT NOW.... What was he thinking putting on a player like Lesage who is clearly not suited for the USL. He was completely out of his depth. If this was NDS idea of replacing one useless player (Barnett) with another in the vain hopes that this will solve the scoring drought, then this guy has clearly lost the f***ing plot.

"The Impact has once again dominated their opponent in shots, 15-7". At the start of the season Vancouver had problems finding the back of the net. Montreal is really struggling at finishing to say the least. In the last 2 games they have had 35 shots and zero goals? That is astounding. Charleston is up next twice so they better find a solution to their problem and quickly. It would be a nice time for the Impact to find their goal scoring touch and break out of this slump!

Grizzly Posted June 5, 2008 Share Posted June 5, 2008 We couldn't score at home against the worst defensive team in the USL. Now we have to play back to back games against the 2nd best team in the USL. We need a real coach. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
massimo Posted June 5, 2008 Share Posted June 5, 2008 The time is now for change, and the change needed is a new coach. All this guy does is scream his head off. Can we get someone in with vision and a track record? Especially if the Impact aspires to get into the MLS...the team with the best players don't always win and Montreal has been singing this song all season long. It's obvious the approach NDS is using is no longer working. Offer Nick an office job and Joey, callup your friend George in Liverpool for some contacts. Here to hoping he already did... Ps. fans need to show up to the next match with paper bags over there heads. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grizzly Posted June 5, 2008 Share Posted June 5, 2008 quote:Originally posted by Calgary Boomer I'm worried that Nick is too much a part of the "Family" to be fired. Exactly the case. Another owner would have fired him after last season but at the very least several games ago. I just went to Impact's website to look for the hoped for anouncement of his firing and what do I see, they have hired another assistent coach to help him. WTF. Will we have to lose every game this season before he gets fired? http://www.montrealimpact.com/News/News.aspx?language=EN&ArticleID=906&Focus=0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
