The Trouble With Frank

So despite Derek flying himself ragged to play in last Thursday’s game for LA Galaxy, they still lost the match and lost it badly.

I know one man doesn’t make a team, but it would be good for the Galaxy to actually have a decent team to play with that one man.

So far since DB23′s arrival they have only won once – and that was thanks to a certain Englishman’s ability to bend one in.

LA Galaxy have to show that they have bought in this one player not just to put bums on seats/sell lots of replica shirts, but to be the ones that help raise awareness for footie in the USA and to do that they have to sack the 2nd Division standard coach.

Get someone in that as well as the Becks, will also raise the form level and will show the rest of the world that the septics are serious about this soccerball game.

Frank Yallop was an average player in his old 1st Division playing days (expecting an email from mickmills to discuss this any second now…) and in my opin, is an average soccerkickball coach too.
Alright he managed the Canadian national side, but that was the Canadian national side, not exactly a high in the FIFA rankings team.

There are (using the American spelling) rumors though, that the LA Galaxy’s Technical Advisor might be moving over to another position in the franchise.
From MLS Rumors:

As the search for a replacement for Frank Yallop proceeds, MLSR sources report that Jurgen Klinsmann has formally been offered the job of LA Galaxy coach/manager.Sources say Klinsmann has been seen touring the Home Depot Center facilities. Jurgen Klinsmann does not live far from Carson, CA and would a natural choice for a high level coach with international experience.

Update: An article in the Times online about the same

Yes I know that California Klinsmann hasn’t exactly got a long coaching history behind him either, but he has played at the highest level and managed the German national team in the World Cup where they were only 1 match away from the Final.
As the quote above says he doesn’t live that far from the ground and I think he would be intrigued by this new and different sort of challenge…
