SpecialK Posted May 6, 2022 Share Posted May 6, 2022 Once again yes not a huge fan of herdman, but he’s a proven me wrong I’ll give credit where credit is due. He’s done an amazing job. If Herdman does go, I hope and pray the CSA doesn’t go backwards like they did when Holger Osieck left. If Herdman leaves there should be a huge search and they get the right person, very experienced professional coach. That should guide Canada to even bigger heights. Herdman set the standard, that’s the baseline. For me once herdman goes. My list of mangers who im trying to interview Carlo Ancelotti John van 't Schip Dwight Lodeweges Mark Watson Bobby Smyrniotis Tommy Wheeldon Jr Maruo Beillo Michael Findlay Sean Dyche Pa-Modou Kah Marc Dos Santos Danny Röhl - if I was CSA I would push hard for him - Assistant Manager under Flick for Germany and Bayern Munich Cesare Prandelli Heimir Hallgrímsson Kevin McKenna gator 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atlantic Posted May 6, 2022 Share Posted May 6, 2022 Our CBs already play super physical, imagine us with Dyche! Henry would average a player knocked out per game. SpecialK and Addona 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

QBCS Posted May 6, 2022 Share Posted May 6, 2022 On 5/5/2022 at 2:46 PM, dyslexic nam said: Not really. No one is bashing Herdman or ready to show him the exit. Well, maybe @SpecialK a little bit. But the rest of us fully support him and his continued tenure. Full stop. He helped get us to the WC and that is massive. Now let’s see what he can do there. But when a world class coach (and CA is in an absolutely elite group of coaches) has a connection to Canada and specifically references the possibility of coaching our Nats at some point down the road, it would be silly not to give it some level of attention. Herdman may see greener pastures elsewhere at some point. As other have pointed out, be jettisoned the women’s team when a better opportunity arose. And no one blames him for that. Well, maybe @SpecialKa little bit. But it is business and things happen. It would be extremely shortsighted of folks in the Canadian footy establishment to not think about this as a viable back pocket option in case Herdman decides his future lies elsewhere. He may stick around until post-2026WC or he may not. But there is nothing to be gained from us not discussing a plan B. I was reffering to the fact this is even a conversation, like one of the greatest managers ever being our manager. Nothing to do with herdman. narduch and dyslexic nam 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In David Graeber's great book Debt: The First 5000 Years, there's an ongoing argument about how paying off all debts breaks the social bonds that keep societies together. In this way of thinking, which is far less marginal than we might think, if she'd paid you back you'd no longer have the basis for a relationship. The bond is alive. And the fact that she does owe you both empowers you and keeps her beholden to you. I appreciate she may have forgotten or is just a piece of shit, I've met some like that too. I suppose this is small comfort, but you get to tell the story, and how many times has it been so far? How much mileage have you gotten from the "Minister of Foreign Affairs owes me 100 bucks" story? It's the price you pay to get to tell a story worth telling.

dyslexic nam Posted August 13, 2022 Share Posted August 13, 2022 The reality is that a national team gig is hugely different than the everyday grind of managing a club team. If the time comes where we need to find a new coach, I still think this is a very real possibility. johnyb, Dominic94, king1010 and 4 others 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unnamed Trialist Posted February 10, 2023 Share Posted February 10, 2023 Carlo confirmed he's not moving yet today. But since he's pressured at El Real and behind in the league he may just leave at the end of season. Real Madrid seem to be impressed by the job Xavi Alonso is doing at Leverkusen.
