OT: CF Montréal: L'Ère de Courtoisie

[Adam Michaels]

Although already posted in the CFMTL thread by @LPHabsFan, I think with the announcement of the new coach and the upcoming season's camp about to start, I thought a new thread was needed.

New thread for a new (dramatic?) season!

You know it.

Today is the start of a new era. Or it's countdown until shit hits the fan again.

It's all about perspective.

This guy is Nancy 2.0

Nothing but good vibes.

But he needs talent to work with.

 

[MarkJ]

Let him cook Joey.

Giroud would be a good start.

Let him cook Joey.

Joey could stay in Italy for this tenure.

Courtois meets with the media tomorrow @ 10:30AM ET.

 

[Skip Bayless]

"Laurent quels sont tes plans pour dans un an quand t'auras plus de job?"

"Laurent c'est quoi la reaction de Nancy quand il a sû la nouvelle?"

"Laurent est-ce que tu vas battre Nancy sur le terrain?"

"Laurent t'as tu un lighter en passant?"

"Laurent à quel coach de la ligue nationale de hockey te compares-tu?"

"Laurent, Laurent j'ai oublié ma question."

"Laurent, est-ce que t'as parlé à l'autre Laurent (Ciman)?"

You forgot each question will start with:

"Félicitation, Laurent et bienvenue à Montréal!"

MLS Next PRO set to make an announcement at 10:15AM tomorrow. And CFMTL have their presser tomorrow at 10:30AM.

Could Montreal announce to join MLS Next PRO and then have their presser to introduce the coach and talk about joining MLS Next PRO?

It's a new team from Bridgeport

 

[Michelangelo]

2 year contract for Courtois

Hopefully he at least can see the end of it

He's not an ornery prick like Losada is, so he should at least last a whole season before the entire roster hates his guts

I find it curious that Renard is not there to talk about his hiring

It's a bit peculiar, for sure. I guess he wanted the new guy to have to whole stage to himself It's not like Renard doesn't like to do media stuff, he does it way more than Joey.

Have to say, the first impression I get from Laurent was a good one.

Losada's introductory press conference last year had a sense of defensiveness as media were aware of some of the complaints about him from DC United.

Marinaro just had an episode of Sick Podcast CF Montreal with Nilton and Sofiane, and they had Tom Bogert on as a surprise guest for a bit. And during that moment, Tony asked Bogert if he hears anything regarding Courtois bringing in an assistant. Bogert said he hasn't heard anything. But Tony said he has some info that leads him to believe that Courtois might be looking at Chicago Fire II head coach Ludovic Taillandier to bring with him as an assistant.

Marinaro showed a small clip of an interview Courtois did about 3 months ago, and he spoke about how Chicago Fire II finished 6th in the conference last year, but Courtois mentions that by a lot of the metrics Crew 2 go by, Chicago Fire II were one of the better teams in the league. And the host brings up how Fire II beat Crew 2 both times they played against each other.
