Without it, you're asking managers to pull a miracle or setting them up for failure. Might be why CSA is in no hurry...who are they going to get in this status quo? I don't think the lack of league is an issue atm, if the cpl is on the horizon, when it comes to bringing in a coach. If anything it's a selling feature. I think it's possible the cpl is delaying the hire but not because our current lack of league is scarring folks away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it is absurd to sack a manager who has won one of the most unexpected top flight league championships in history less than 9 months ago. Yeah, it's ridiculous. It's like he got fired for moving the bar up higher. They are just a few points away from being in the position they were at the end of the season in 2014/15. He wins the whole damn league, and all of a sudden Leicester is supposed to consistently compete with the big clubs? They even won their Champions League group, and he still gets fired. Ridiculous in my opinion. I wouldn't be surprised if after this season or next they are out of the Premier League for another 10 year stint, like they were not too long ago.

At the Gold Cup if we win all our games and win the tournament, how many points would we get and how much higher would we rise in the standings approximately? I don't know the formula on these things, but there are websites that break down the math. Besides World Cup qualifies, Gold Cup games are the only ones we play that have a high multiplier. From a ranking stand point, these matches are much more important than a friendly. I believe the ranking depends on the opposition that you play too. So you wouldn't be able to calculate the exact number without knowing who we are playing. This is just a guess, but if we were to win 6 straight games and win the Gold Cup, I think we would probably jump at least 40 place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

matty Posted February 28, 2017 Author Share Posted February 28, 2017 Didn't wanna start a new thread so figured I'd post this here (cause Canadian and a manager) I'm interviewing Alen Marcina about what it's like to be a Canadian manager. Does anyone have any questions they would like me to ask? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kent Posted March 7, 2017 Share Posted March 7, 2017 This article sounds more hopeful regarding finding a replacement before the Gold Cup. http://www.cbc.ca/sports/soccer/tony-fonseca-canadian-soccer-association-1.4007572 "Montopoli says the plan is still to have a new men's coach in place by this summer's Gold Cup. And if things fall into place, the coach could come sooner. "We're down to a short list," Montopoli said of the search." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barça seems bent on hiring a former player who knows the system, esp the youth system. With one exception, Sampaoli. Wenger has no chance at all, not the slightest. I could see Wenger coaching an African national team. The front-runner seems to be Valverde at Bilbao. I like Cocu, because I loved him a player and I think PSV plays good football.

BuzzAndSting Posted March 9, 2017 Share Posted March 9, 2017 My two cents... Wenger moves to another role with Arsenal or "retires" for a while, maybe a year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
