I mean, a manager who wants to work everyday would not choose international football to begin with. You have to be realistic about what that entails, which is long periods without coaching or training. That's what most managers who turn down international footy say - they would miss the day to day. So, yes, lots more time for things outside football, and lots more opportunity for such things in the US.Most managers ...want to work everyday...that's who they are.
Yeah let's go shopping
Btw...You're only 10 weeks into Trump mate. Hope your papers are in order
I'm Canadian mate. It's not deportation that concerns me, but invasion.
Doesn't change the facts though - for most people in the US, Trump makes no difference to their day to day. People overrate how much the general public pays attention to politics, and most Americans have not seen much change to their quality of life since Trump took power. All this is verifiable fact.

Yes indeed. Despite all parameters. Imagine if the club had taken him for granted!

Honestly would probably work out great. Feel like Postecoglou is an international manager, not a club one - his insane lack of tactics and running his players into the ground would work better when you only play once or twice every couple of months, and maybe six games or so every other summer. In those small doses, quality and willpower can often trump tactics (which most int. managers don't have time to drill anyway).
Think he'd do well at the helm of a nation as opposed to a club.

Eh? Who was Poch's?
A broken home is invariably an angry one, and it behooves everyone to work very hard to get beyond the 'broken' and 'anger' if believed in it at the start. I got married very young, we had a son, we broke up when I was in my mid-20s, we committed to co-raising him in the same city (week on week off), instead of blaming her (she cheated) I had to be honest and say I would've too had I had the courage so I did a self-inventory and made sure to learn from my mistakes. I met my wife two years later in '97, we have had some stormy times but always,always knew we loved each other and thus dug deep. Subsequently, we're in the best place we've ever been at 58 and 57 respectively...I will always believe the club did not work hard enough to understand how magical the union with Poch was. Anyway...
And I think that's what made it so special. He caught this fleeting moment anmd stretched it for 5 years. we arrived at the biggest single game this club has ever had on fumes, he was still conjuring a spark from the bottle. Imagine that; the man who trapped lightining and made it work for 5 years, yet the moment he couldn't, we simply said he was past it and fudged him off for a blagger...
(BTW I always enjoy our discussions/exchanges/disagreements mate...I mean, I like it more when we agree BUT you know what I'm saying)

I'm not sure who Poch's was, if anyone*, but he was hardly showing a desperation to stay and fix things, his attitude and effort was waning, he'd reportedly given up on being involved in training and his enthusiasm was clearly gone, many of the players were phoning it in and he was letting them.
I'm glad things worked out for you. Sounds like what I'm suggesting, a parting of the ways made things better for everybody, maybe, thats your experience though and I don't want to words on your keyboard.
I think he may have been past it before the CL final, he had already retreated into his shell, and certain comments suggest he was already considering leaving.
Likewise
*Maybe Madrid, he'd been talked about for that role previously.

First marriage yes because it wasn't right,.
Second marriage, no, because it was right, we'd just hit some very awkward and life-challenging moments which required strength, fortitude and most of all appreciation of what we have and why we got together in the first place.
There were absolutely issues with Poch, however I still think it was 'second marriage territory' and we should'ver worked harder. The irony is that Levy actually DID that bit in that summer, only to blow it up when his BF whispered in his shell-like (all IMO anyway)...

To continue with your analogy.
I think it likely it was more like the first, as Levy was shields down, else he wouldn’t have listened.

Definitely a no to Poch - he's clearly started smoking the lemons:
"We have Lionel Messi in the MLS and he is helping a lot. But creating the new training centre in Atlanta is as important an impact as having a Messi. In five or 10 years, for sure the US can be No 1 in the world.”

Poch at Limes?!
Just party line mate ..
US has a huge potential assembly line of youth players with a lot of popularity at school level. The biggest issue is it's "pay to play" at a lot of the academies and hence they miss a huge segment of the population.

Q: can you analyse the weakness of ange postecoglu's system at tottenham hotspur? the club is having its wost run of form.
A: Absolutely! Ange Postecoglou's system at Tottenham Hotspur has shown some vulnerabilities, especially during this challenging run of form. Here are some key weaknesses that have been identified:
- Defensive Vulnerability:
- Open to Counterattacks: One of the most significant weaknesses is the team's susceptibility to counterattacks. The high defensive line and aggressive pressing can leave gaps that opponents exploit, leading to quick transitions and scoring opportunities against Spurs.
- Central Defensive Issues: The central defense has occasionally struggled to maintain shape, particularly when the full-backs push forward, which can create mismatches during defensive transitions.
- Pressing Mechanism:
- Intensity and Coordination: While Postecoglou's system relies on intense pressing, there have been moments where the players lack coordination. This can lead to ineffective pressing, allowing opponents to bypass the press and create chances.
- Fatigue: The high-energy demands of the system can lead to fatigue, especially in a congested fixture schedule. Tired players may not press as effectively, further exposing the defense.
- Midfield Control:
- Lack of Control in Midfield: At times, the midfield has struggled to dominate possession, leading to a lack of control in games. This can result in the team being outnumbered in crucial areas, making it difficult to regain possession and build attacks.
- Inconsistent Finishing:
- Goal-Scoring Drought: The attacking players have faced inconsistency in finishing, which has compounded the pressure on the defense. When the team fails to convert chances, it puts additional strain on the backline to maintain a clean sheet.
- Tactical Flexibility:
- Predictability: Opponents may have begun to understand Postecoglou's tactics, making it easier for them to prepare and counteract his strategies. A lack of tactical flexibility can make the team predictable in their approach.

true, i'd take poch if he can get us progressing into the knock out stage of the CL asap. one step at a time. we've parted amicably before, so shouldn't be difficult next time around.
