Yeah, I don't think anyone is going to put out feelers or even use the typical PR channels (fab romano, etc.), but I haven't even seen the more dubious insider sources or even random pundits make any mention of it. There's less smoke here than there was for "Bombito is going to Besiktas because Atiba recommended him". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dyslexic nam Posted March 23 Share Posted March 23 As an interim coach he managed to just get us across the finish line for Copa qualification but nothing I have seen suggests that he should be made permanent.

Club Linesman Posted March 23 Share Posted March 23 (edited) How the shit was Davies not moved back to LB when we took the lead. Getting pissed at Shaff for not covering a runner? He’s not a defender. Biello caved in to Phonzie, we need a manager with balls who will make him play for the team and do what needs to be done for the win. Today that was going to LB Edited March 23 by Club Linesman Sal333, Jack1997, costarg and 11 others 11 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was a nonsensical sub/adjustment. Shaff is a winger, Favies is a LB. So put Shaff at LWB, keep the offensive formation and move Davies right up top.

It's complete players power caused by Herman's empowerment movement. Lots of respect for Biello but if he continues as head coach I will cry. Huge opportunity for us with two big tournaments up coming and fantastic youth coming through, to attract a manager with real credibility and experience to take us significantly forward. cornerkick and TOcanadafan 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of our best chances was still him beating his man and getting of a really good shot. Even playing poorly he made stuff happen and covered up his mistakes. I think the problem came from the start when you put 3 guys who essentially play similar roles up front and then have at least three more with license to get forward. You have to have cover from somewhere and provide passing options in the build up. Yes we played most of our best and/or in-form players but that doesn't always make a team.

jhoops__ Posted March 24 Share Posted March 24 Klone in the Atletic writes that he feels Biello will be back for Copa. This bit of news takes the joy out of the win yesterday for me. We need a new coach desperately in my eyes. Both tactically and team discipline wise we need a massive shift.

phil03 Posted March 24 Share Posted March 24 (edited) Honestly, I don't understand why Biello is any way attractive. Like, I have been vocally skeptical of the idea of a CPL coach but that is more or less the one instance where I'd be fine with Smyrniotis. If it's between him and Biello somehow then sure, lets give him a shot... Mind you, there is no reason why that would be the case either. Money is a constraint but there is ways to be creative and decent coaches to be had at a lower price if we show a bit of outside-the-box thinking. I am pretty sure we could outbid Salvador if we approached Hugo Perez and he'd be at all interested for example... The only way that Biello could have been justifiable is if things had gone well in Nations League. In that case the first round of Gold Cup could have been depicted as just a fluke and there would be an argument to not fix what ain't broken but the team had clearly looked somewhat disorganized in recent games, especially the last one. We won against TnT not thanks to him but despite him, by grinding them down eventually due to superior quality (altough they obviously deserve props for being a hard team to play against). Like, I'd go as far as to say that if we still had Herdman, or a descent manager really, not only would we have beaten Jamaica but, considering how close a depleted Jamaica got against the USA, we would probably be talking about our ods against Mexico instead of discussing lessons from a repechage game... And now we are probably going to be stuck with the guy for longer!? He is a good scout and should be sent back to that job asap.

Floortom Posted March 24 Share Posted March 24 lol Biello isn’t the coach because the CSA thinks he’s a tactical genius. He’s the coach for financial reasons. The CSA will keep him as long as they can justify it. Barring a debacle (a loss yesterday would have qualified), prepare to see him around for a long time IMO.

jhoops__ Posted March 24 Share Posted March 24 The lack of cash for a decent coach is pure bullshit. Herdman was making $700k and that is surely enough for a decent coach. MtlMario, king1010, Nello and 6 others 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ozzie_the_parrot Posted March 24 Share Posted March 24 Not sure how much attention you have been paying to the players dispute with the CSA over the CSB deal but the CSA's finances are not in good shape right now. It is not a safe assumption that they can afford anyone with a career that heading in the right direction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TOcanadafan Posted March 24 Share Posted March 24 Count me as another who feels a change is needed. Clogging up the forward position created a static attack that lacked creativity... it was just too crowded up top. The defense was never truly settled or cohesive. And then after getting the 1-0 we were fortunate not to concede a few times just minutes later - it's as if we learned nothing from the Jamaica game - defensive players were bombing forward without sufficient cover. A formation change (and coaching - relay of instructions) was needed to solidify things defensively. Overall, it's as Biello was setting up to play a video game match, rather than an actual game of football.

It is not a safe assumption that they can afford anyone with a career that heading in the right direction. Of course I’ve been paying attention, I’m on this board. Paying a good coach has never been an issue and Priestman makes a good wage with the Women so we know a pre determined allotment is allocated. narduch 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gator Posted March 24 Share Posted March 24 I am not a huge fan of Biello but I think he deserves the Copa matches and that will give us a larger sample size to determine whether he is up to the job, a tough task awaits, if he over achieves in the truly daunting set of matches he must be considered! I don't expect that to happen but 4 high quality matches, including the Netherlands friendly will give us a much better idea of what he can or can't do with his roster!

jhoops__ Posted March 24 Share Posted March 24 (edited) I don’t think it’s fair to anyone to have an interim coach going forward. We’re building towards a home WC and need to get our shit together with a coach and system asap. If it’s Biello then sign him to a long term deal but this shit continuing is amateur hour.

Remember the savior of TFC, who many on here including myself were not sold on, made many mistakes in early days but grew into the job and had a decent run which lead to him getting the TFC gig! I am really hoping we hire a good foreign manager with a knowledge of Concacaf but I think we have to prepare ourselves for Biello taking over full time, whether that is due to lack of CSA finances or him succeeding in Copa! If we bomb out in these next 4 matches and he gets hired full time I think we will have legitimate complaints, if he does well then how can we not say he is up to it?

gkhs Posted March 24 Share Posted March 24 (edited) Isn’t it fun how every single thread on this forum grounds to a halt in the exact same way? Filling everyone with joy! Wouldn’t Janne Andersson be a great candidate? He’s taken a team of similar quality through the group stage of a major tournament twice, with a record of 4-1-1. And his apparent struggles in qualification are not really meaningful in our context. Plus he would understand the peculiar constraints of a northern climate where a contingent of his players play in summer leagues. Apparently, he’s interested in the Ireland job; I doubt their pay packet would be higher than ours (in theory).
