BearcatSA Posted December 9, 2021 Share Posted December 9, 2021 16 minutes ago, Free kick said: I dont get a sense that he has fallen out of favour with Herdman. He was prominant in the October window. The november window had unique challenges (ie.: pitch and climate) that favoured a more direct game and less ball dribbling and control. Hence not best suited to his skills. I agree, but players themselves sometimes don't see that and some handle that better than others. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And the new coach on board for only few days now, who is respresenting TFC in the talks. Bob Bradley is the coach and "sporting director". I assumed the second half of that was like a pseudo-GM. He makes the decisions and a capologist makes sure it works. Ruffian and Free kick 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Personally, I think it would be smart to have one person concentrate on just that in any salary-capped league. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is no way someone like Bradley would agree to come here if he had someone looking over his shoulder when building/running the club. I am guessing Bradley runs the day to day stuff and Manning helps out with the "big whale" signings, including getting the OK from the Board.

I was deeply underwhelmed by Armas but there's a world were he may be a serviceable or even good assistant. I think most folks don't realise that Lawrence Peter was a Canadian, as was the co-author of The Peter Principle. And that the concept was conceived in Vancouver, during a casual conversation between the two. rkomar 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rkomar Posted December 11, 2021 Share Posted December 11, 2021 I think the Peter Principle holds strongly for players in professional soccer. So many getting promoted until they get to a level that is over their heads. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
