Title: Re: i thought Klinsmann was a done deal? Post by: Uisce Beatha on November 18, 2006, 05:13:35 PM Interesting. I thought is was a done deal with Klinsmann too.
One of the knocks on Klinsmann was that he doesn't speak Spanish. So they bump him for a guy that doesn't speak English. ??? Not sure I want the guy who couldn't figure out a way to find Messi more than 30 minutes in the entire 2006 World Cup. Title: Re: i thought Klinsmann was a done deal? Post by: Salamander on November 19, 2006, 02:38:09 PM Do you know how many coaches are out there at various European soccer teams that work through a translator?
A lot. Title: Re: i thought Klinsmann was a done deal? Post by: Uisce Beatha on November 19, 2006, 03:11:28 PM Sure, I know that. It wasn't me that was knocking him. It was the press and (if the reporting is right) US Soccer who felt the next manager had to know Spanish. [sm_dontknow]
Title: Re: i thought Klinsmann was a done deal? Post by: Salamander on November 19, 2006, 05:04:41 PM Ridiculous, that's all I'm saying. If Sir Alex Ferguson would be in for the position and could not speak Spanish, would they tell him no? This shows how this country has everything backwards, sadly.. :sad3:

Or make a team with less than 400 million. Title: Re: i thought Klinsmann was a done deal? Post by: Salamander on November 20, 2006, 04:43:41 AM Define English ;)
Title: Re: i thought Klinsmann was a done deal? Post by: Uisce Beatha on November 20, 2006, 07:47:42 AM Define English ;) English != Language spoken by jumped up Glaswegian shop stewards. [sm_devil] ;) Title: Re: i thought Klinsmann was a done deal? Post by: Salamander on November 20, 2006, 07:48:31 AM I read "sheep stewards", which amused me greatly.
