shermanator Posted November 19, 2015 Author Share Posted November 19, 2015 Edmonton signing Watson is a good move for them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jedinathan Posted November 19, 2015 Share Posted November 19, 2015 I'm curious (no word that I've heard yet) about the length of the contract. IMO a one year, with option for 2 additional would be good. Watson wasn't the same for several games in 2015. HAVE to think that Fordyce isn't far behind to sign with the club now.

Fussball_eh Posted November 19, 2015 Share Posted November 19, 2015 Ottawa Fury have a press conference tomorrow at 2pm. Probably to announce the replacement for Marc Dos Santos. gws Duane Rollins is saying (not for certain) that it might be Alen Marcina. Another coach who is rumoured to sign for an NASL club is Günter Kronsteiner. Nick Dasovic is also being mentioned. Tommy Heinemann will go to another NASL club. Miami FC one location being mentioned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shermanator Posted November 20, 2015 Author Share Posted November 20, 2015 Looks like Watson was debating moving on due to FC Edmonton missing the playoffs again this year. It shows his quality that he decided he wanted tos tay one more year and try to get Edmonton back to the playoffs. But, when the heart and soul of your club debates leaving due to lack of success, that's pretty damning. “Last year, I said in several interviews that I wanted to get into the playoffs,” said the Eddies captain. “And it didn’t happen for us this year. I was a bit disheartened, like I think everyone around the team was this year. Part of me felt that maybe it was time to move on, to take on a new challenge. I really thought hard about it. “Because, in the three years, we really haven’t done anything. You can’t say that you’ve done anything until you get into the fight for the cup.” http://the11.ca/2015/11/19/after-disheartening-2015-season-fce-captain-watson-says-things-have-to-change-next-year/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grizzly Posted November 20, 2015 Share Posted November 20, 2015 It looks like Paul Dalglish will replace Dos Santos in Ottawa. Seems to be him according to this article: http://www.ottawasun.com/2015/11/19/ottawa-fury-fc-to-name-new-coach-friday Seems like a strange choice to me, not a very impressive coaching CV. A couple of MLS assistant coach gigs and a was head coach of Austin in USL last year who had a pretty poor season. Maybe he will turn out to be good but based just on his resume I would really prefer a Canadian to get the job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gwsmith63 Posted November 20, 2015 Share Posted November 20, 2015 Wonder how many of his former players will end up in Ottawa seeing as they don't have a team to play on next year: http://austinaztex.com/151002-usl/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shermanator Posted November 20, 2015 Author Share Posted November 20, 2015 Marc Dos Santos announced as head coach of Swope Park Rangers. That seems like a big step backwards to me. Yes, he will have more visibility into an MLS gig, but one would think the NASL coach of the year would already have that visibility, no? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mianjo Posted November 20, 2015 Share Posted November 20, 2015 Actually Marc did say he was going to be a assistant with a MLS team and head coach of the reserve team, I assume Swope Park is the reserve team Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jedinathan Posted November 20, 2015 Share Posted November 20, 2015 I'm VERY curious to see how this changes Ottawa for 2016. With some rumors of players signing elsewhere, and a relatively unproven head coach, it could be a bit of a dive from the success of 2015 IMO.

I have a pretty good info that he signed this deal in early summer of 2015. He didn't know at the time how much more leverage he would have by the end of the season...

shermanator Posted November 20, 2015 Author Share Posted November 20, 2015 Sounds like big changes in Ottawa. Crazy how "concern re: team direction" is being floated after a year in which they went to the Soccer Bowl: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jedinathan Posted November 20, 2015 Share Posted November 20, 2015 The other side of this is that he is also an assistant coach with the Sporting KC. For other NASL news, OKC Energy were Sporting KC's old USL club. No longer, as Swope Park Rangers are their new, and are also located close by the first team. I assume that its very similar to Jeff Paulus' situation with FC Edmonton. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shermanator Posted November 20, 2015 Author Share Posted November 20, 2015 Heinemann signs a 2 year, $150K / year deal with the Rowdies. Absolutely insane money thrown his way. http://northernpitch.com/_/minnesota-soccer-news/furys-furry-forward-signs-lucrative-deal-with-rowdies-r611 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jedinathan Posted November 20, 2015 Share Posted November 20, 2015 In my opinion, he's not worth that. Just crazy. He had a good fall season, but was injury prone last year, and didn't do anything major with Vancouver while there either. He's good... but not that good.

What could go wrong, a scottish coaching mentality coming in to take over an over achieving squad that bought into a system. It will be Highland League style play, and what is worse as GM his contacts will not be as wide reaching as Dos Santos. MDS could sell in French, Portugese, Spanish and English. Dalglish will be limited to English, its a big factor in finding players with right skill at right price (modest). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BringBackTheBlizzard Posted November 21, 2015 Share Posted November 21, 2015 Paul Dalgleish has been involved in coaching in North America since 2008 and is actually from Liverpool rather than Glasgow in terms of where he grew up, but no reason to let facts get in the way of a good rant. Not sure it's the right appointment for them but I seriously doubt they would have hired him simply because of his surname. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I share some of the same concerns, but lets give him the benefit of the doubt, shall we? We knew MDS was irreplaceable. Let's give this man a chance!

Not sure it's the right appointment for them but I seriously doubt they would have hired him simply because of his surname. If you look at Dos Santos, he had a similar CV before signing in Ottawa. Before winning the Fall Championship, Dos Santos' track record wasn't that great either. Purely looking at stats really isn't the way to go. Talking with college's, (former) players and watching him during training and games is. Btw he did really well in PDL (1 title and 2 conference finals) and with the USL team he had to start from scratch. Where did Fury end after their debut-season? I think it makes perfect sense. Dalgliesh has got the right age and has been working towards this for years. Give the guy chance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
