Anybody hoping for a new manager to come in before the Gold Cup is dreaming. I'm mostly addressing the "he IS the new coach" comment. He did hint that he would be gone before the gold cup but nothing seemed certain. I am greatly worried that he'll be the boss at the gold cup Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just saying that the interim coach being quoted in an article doesn't really indicate anything in my opinion. Just on here there seems to be a lot of jumping to assumptions but saying that they're facts or near to being a fact. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shway Posted March 8, 2017 Share Posted March 8, 2017 All in all.....who thinks its beneficial for there to be a new coach in place before the Gold Cup with minimal time to prepare? I sure don't. 30% is coaching and tactics, but you need to know who your players are, who are impact players..etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mostly agree but i also have little trust in findlay's tactics. If the new coach has a sound history and puts together a large camp and plays 2 games in june i would prefer them to findlay Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anybody hoping for a new manager to come in before the Gold Cup is dreaming. I think you are working backwards from your preconceived notion. You don't think the CSA will hire someone before the Gold Cup, so when you hear someone say "The interim manager doesn't see themself as a long term coach for the team" you think that means he will be around until after the Gold Cup. Just last week Peter Montopoli was saying they are still hoping to hire someone before the Gold Cup. I am not saying (and neither is Mr. Montopoli) that a coach will definitely be hired before the Gold Cup, but it appears there is a chance. Apologies for repeating myself from the Floro replacement thread, but I think it's relevant. 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." Personally, I really hope we have a new coach for the Gold Cup. The sooner the better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El Hombre Posted March 8, 2017 Share Posted March 8, 2017 If you look at the picture, Findlay has a half-Windsor knot in his tie, which to me points to the fact that he knows that the new coach coming in is at least part English. I think that much is obvious. However, the noticeable five o'clock shadow he has speaks to a habitual use of razor blades with a propensity for shoddy workmanship, which is indicative of a Portuguese razor blade, so I would guess that this new coach coming in would be part English with a latin flair. More specifically, a Brit with a Portuguese mother who favours a 3-5-2 formation to the 4-3-3 which is de rigeur these days. I think that's pretty clear in the article. Either that, or it's just a fucking puff piece after a draw and there are no discernible conclusions that anyone can make at this point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There'd still be time to get to know the player pool with friendlies. That's not going to happen as we know. Speaking of friendlies, I think we should strongly consider Texas as a home base for preparation. Ideally, we'd have 7 to 10 days worth of training prior to the opener, with 1 to 2 friendlies. Then we'd fly to new York for match 1. Fly back to Texas, and prepare for match 2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

masster Posted March 9, 2017 Share Posted March 9, 2017 2 Canadian cities were going to apply to host Gold Cup games this summer, but there were scheduling conflicts and that did not happen.

Hard to pull a crowd when you don't have the attention of the populous and a proper marketing push. People who point at how poor the gold cup drew in toronto really need to register that it's hardly a blemish Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Other than Saputo and Olympic (and maybe Moncton) any other possible stadium has a tennant (CFL mainly and Jays if they look at Sky Dome). The CFL isn't shutting down for almost 19 days so Canada can host a Gold Cup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
