According to the Southsiders sources, deal is done and he'll be here in June.

INCOMING: Shevchenko To Vancouver Whitecaps? | News Article | klikFC

 

[bergamascho]

Wow...ummm that would be fcucking awesome.

 

[Bronco]

He's no CJ, but yeah, it would be good

 

[cascadesoccer]

that would be UNREAL! I hope its true, also read this on the interweb.

Man Utd

Hargreaves to possibly join!

 

[italian_stallion21]

I didn't even realize he was playing anymore We already have enough injury problems in the midfield, don't need to add another Salo. That being said, if he was healthy that would be awesome.

 

[johnnybluenose]

tribal football is a joke, you or I could start writing opinions daily there for schmucks to post to sites like this...

Shevchenko would be pretty crazy though.

 

[Dude]

Considering the reception Bundbury got, what would the reception for Hargraves be here? Cheers or jeers?

 

[johnnybluenose]

Jeers.

he's broken, he's useless, and we play on turf.

What's the point?

News Conference @ 11:00am...

VERY curious to see what's being announced...

A few theories floating around
- Teitur fired/New Manager appointed?
- New DP(s) signed? (which means 1+ cuts)
- BC Place is way behind schedule and Caps will play all games this year at Tempire?
- another major Euro team friendly announcement?

 

[joely_the_goalie]

teitur and mike salmon fired...

Tommy Soehn replaces teitur as Head Coach

apparently Salmon was the big Nolly booster... could finally see a switch to Cannon

Soehn saying "i don't think it's going to take a lot of time to turn this around"... the brass must have been getting as frustrated as the rest of us were with the team selections

 

[johnnybluenose]

Crazy... well at least we can perhaps start seeing some progress by this team now.

As long as they don't bring back Bob Lilley!

 

[johnnybluenose]

watching the tweets roll in from contacts at the presser...

Essentially the firm training regiment hasn't helped with all the injuries, Salmon was a big booster for Nolly, Soehn is saying that it shouldn't take too long/too much to turn the year around.

 

[Deutschland]

Is it possible to fire Dunfield as well?

 

[johnnybluenose]

I suspect a lot of this has to do with this.

A lot of the TT Supporters have been saying that he's had his decisions being foisted upon him by others like Lenarduzzi, Soehn, etc... Keeping Miller etc on staff but gassing TT and Mike Salmon say a lot to me about how the keeper with the #1 top has only seen the pitch once all year, how the tactics keep getting criticized, the player selections etc.

I'm reading into this, especially after reflecting on the tine and mood of Demerit and his comments Saturday, that this was inevitable. Teitur was just out if his depth.

I'd like to see Cannon between the pipes, Chiumiento deployed more centrally, and less of a stubbornness to rely on long balls and too direct a style.

An Open Letter to Whitecaps Supporters | Vancouver Whitecaps FC

 

[cascadesoccer]

I think its a well written letter by the club. Even though we only have the one league win, we have alot of ties and apart from the slow start, I have not once thought about not supporting or giving up on the team. Its our first year, and I think they will really turn it around with a new technical staff, and start getting the deserved wins, that keep coming out as ties and then some. Second half of the year will be good for us I believe. GO CAPS!

 

[Luch]

Thank F#*k! I'm actually looking forward to watching the Caps again this season.

 

[trece verde]

Cautiously optimistic about this. TT's approach has led me to think that he was just in over his head at this level, with the insistence on hoof and hope, and refusal to change or adjust tictacs that aren't working (forcing players to play positions they aren't suited to).

We will always try to second-guess managerial decisions, but hopefully there won't have to be as many dodgy ones after this...

 

[Regs]

Maybe Clarkey, Freddy and Kindel were on to something...



It will be very interesting to see who is between the pipes on Wednesday night...

 

[Mr Base]

STD I did refund my tickets. See I knew it from day one. There was no chance for T to win with the two guys in charge now. Set plan. As of now we do not give a F. Man was a good coach. Made this town look like a soccer town. It took a same slmy sole to destroy onother good coach. In my opinion he is next. Dutchland main D and Dunfield. Sikness neve goes away.
