Obviously, Gulati should not be allowed to replace him. *

Arena threw himself on the sword.

Does he have the strength left to pull it out and set it up for his boss?

I am reminded of the end of "Dead Again".


Gulati already stated he's not going anywhere

and may run for re-election in Feb.


I think Gulati thinks firing Arena will placate the fans

but I think the pressure is going to build from the major stakeholders and sponsors that things will change. There is no doubt Fox and USSF is going to take a bath in givebacks to sponsors by the teams' failure to make the WC.


I think there's quite enough support to remove him in Feb

And to start removing his tendrils from US Soccer.


I fear there is not enough support

too many people are making too much money with him in charge.

Obviously, we should name an interim coach...
by baloo88  (2017-10-13 12:27:21)     cannot delete  |  Edit  |  Return to Board  |  Ignore Poster   |   Highlight Poster  |   Reply to Post

And see who's available after the World Cup next year.

What about Sunil? I wanted his resignation at halftime vs. T&T.


Tab Ramos in as...interim? I guess? *

There is some speculation that the reason there was no

interim named is that he wants the job, but he doesn't want it to be "interim."


He'd be a disaster.

He's done nothing whatsoever with the youth teams to suggest that he's qualified to continue holding those jobs, let alone manage the senior team.


Didn’t the U20s win CONCACAF recently and make World Cup

quarterfinals?

I’m not sure who the USMNT thinks it can get with any significant positive senior experience, at least not until after the World Cup.

I think I’d be fine with him in the interim, assuming the plan would be to reassess his situation after the World Cup.


Gulati said there would be a coach named by nov. int break

two friendlies, likely scheduled in Europe.

Coach may or may not be "interim".
