No not Bernier not enough experiance

No not Bernier not enough experiance

That would have the scent of a PR move. Though I feel like Bernier has a bigger network than Braz did when he got the job due to Bernier's international career and some of his time spent abroad. He'd need someone (like Filosa said) with him.

It's gonna take a real DT with knowledge of the league and contacts in europe or SA. Always felt like Braz was the reject of the party in MLS, just like our entire organization.

Tony Marinaro just jumped on the radio to comment on this.

He said that Braz was more a capologist than anything else. He wasn't the one making the calls. He'd get calls about certain players and then he'd take that to Garde. And he's basically just make sure the numbers work in regards to the cap.

He said that he believes they will give Garde more control in recruitment. Although in the media, Garde has been open about his lack of knowledge of the MLS and he would lean on Braz for this league.

He also said that Braz' relationship with Saputo was okay. He did bring up last year how Braz and De Santis had disagreements on the coaching change. NDS wanted to keep Biello (former teammate and all) and Braz was in favor of the change. But there was no carry over from that this year.

Braz was looking for an expanded role in the organization but clearly the club thought differently. He's looking for another gig in the MLS.

Your rhetoric is flawed though, as Armenteros (a top quality forward) played 28 out of 34 games for the Timbers this year, scoring 8 goals. He's the main reason why they transfered Adi to Cincinnati. Very high odds they would not have made the playoffs without him.

Thats exactly my point.They made the playoffs because they have a good team around this Cf. 8 goals in 28 games for a starting CF is shit and far from elite, thank you. Altidore got 7 goals in 12 starts. Armenteros is not top quality CF.

Of course f***ing NDS wanted to keep Biello... they are brother-in-laws

Glad Braz is gone, but NDS is the biggest cancer. As long as NDS has Joey's hear, we will be in trouble. Glad to hear that Garde has more autonomy though.

Oh ****. You have a solid argument against one of JP’s points.

I hope you have a bulletproof vest ready

You mean a solid argument that supports JP's point yeah

since when 8 goals in 28 games is a good number for a striker lmao, didn't Taider score 8 goals this year as well?


RSL have no top striker and look at them. No point in having a top CF when there's no one to feed him. SKC's #1 striker is Shelton.... scored 2 goals in 20 games, Diego Rubio constantly bashed by SKC fans (8 goals), yet they are a top 5 teams in terms of goal scored.

Who gonna replace him know ?

Since this is a European team, if I think of a French player that played in MLS, knows the league and have a lot of European contacts, Benoit Cheyrou is the best option but will he really come here

 

[boyinboyin]

Julien Brisebois as a side job plz

DeSantis wanted to keep the jabrone because he was famiglia.

Bernier is a smart and humble man, you won't see him reach for things he's not ready to do. I have blind trust in his integrity. The type of guy to step down if he feels he isn't helping the club. Think the total opposite of NDS.

bernier could assist a cap expert too, it could be the other way around.

 

[Michelangelo]

I think I would be a cap expert

Would only ask for starting salary of $100K

Whatever the MLS salary cap is, as a capologist, you ask for 1$ more than the cap.
