Soccerpro Posted September 21, 2015 Share Posted September 21, 2015 Yallop and Bircham out in Chicago: http://www.mlssoccer.com/news/article/2015/09/20/chicago-fire-part-ways-head-coach-frank-yallop-announce-nelson-rodriguez-new On Sunday afternoon, the Fire announced that they have parted ways with head coach and director of soccer Frank Yallop as well as assistant coaches Marc Bircham and Clint Mathis.

The fire are a mess. I'm glad the Caps didn't hire Yallop. His best days are in the mirror. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jordan Posted September 21, 2015 Share Posted September 21, 2015 I think he left on his own based on the one tweet he has done since. @marcbircham: @s_regan21 if someone brings me in I will follow them out that's who I am Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jpg75 Posted September 21, 2015 Author Share Posted September 21, 2015 That's a class move by Bircham. Can a mod edit the title and remove Birchams name? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unnamed Trialist Posted September 21, 2015 Share Posted September 21, 2015 News reports say Bircham was let go with Yallop, maybe he is saying otherwise but that is what has been reported. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrennanFan Posted September 22, 2015 Share Posted September 22, 2015 His best days are in the mirror. Yea, not sure there will be any MLS teams taking a chance on Yallop any time soon, but I still think he has something left in the tank. I would not freak out if the CSA hired him once Floro is gone. He did not do well in 2004 WCQ and made questionable call ups, but he had us playing well in 2005 and 2006. I often wonder what we could have done in 2008 when our "golden generation" was in their prime, having had 4 years experience playing his style. I dont fault him for leaving either, those were dark, dark times at the CSA in 2006; in a way his leaving sparked the 'Sack the CSA' movement. Yallop always gave Canadian players and coaches a chance on his MLS teams. He is a supporter of Canadian soccer. His heart would be in it 1000%. I feel like that is something we are missing. Floro seems too cerebral, too aloof, too superior. Maybe next cycle Yallop would be the right guy, at the right time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would rather take a flyer on Bircham to be honest, might as well try a young, hungry coach who has been involved with the development side at QPR and Millwall Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
