  1. Sorry the next manager needs to be American, foreign managers just cannot understand and develop our youth system. The size and structure of it is like nothing they have ever seen and its not easily adaptable.

    How has Iceland developed, a coach can watch every 13 year old in Iceland play in person in a weekend, it would take you years to do that in the US if you had no other job. The next weekend they can hold a clinic with every coach and give them direct feedback on how to improve their teams.

      For decades, American managers have been unable, or unwilling, to develop our youth system. Probably because they don’t know what a proper youth system looks like.

    • Oh, please, please, please!!! I would love to see Klinsmann hop the pond!!!! Let them wallow through his double speak, and have the fun of seeing him use Kane as a left winger.

      • Didn’t Hodgson play Vardy as a winger in the Euros?

        Silver speaking out of position did Finlay really play CF for the Crew last weekend? That’s where he was listed on the lineup diagrams I saw?

  2. Hardly a surprise about Hodgson. It was resign or get fired. At least, in part, done in by the very poor play of Joe Hart to let in the second goal.
