I think there are plenty of players from South and Central America who could help for salaries in thr mere 150 -200 K per year arena....for $2MM I can bring and find 3 or 4 solid Argentine, Brazilian, Columbian or Urugyan players and turn this thing around....<BR/><BR/><BR/>Tim -----AEG....Tim maybe it's time that your head feels the razor of the block....after all you masterminded the Beckham deal and now you are pointing fingers at why it is failing....Not the COACH, GM or President...stop cutting off the head...it just grows back...gut the beast...lean up that roster and bring in some players who have a hunger and desire to win and actually feel that 150K is a great salary to play for...<BR/><BR/><BR/><BR/><BR/><BR/><BR/>Let a Coach have at least 2 years to build " HIS" team....stay out of the affairs of day to day ....it almost like you have become the George Sienbrenner of the LA Galaxy....!!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6452882722078260065.post-92226365550218333202008-08-11T14:28:00.000-07:002008-08-11T14:28:00.000-07:00Also whats up with Mandou Bojang, could we get an ...Also whats up with Mandou Bojang, could we get an update on him?Justinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14880978413471298493noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6452882722078260065.post-4817212463166338092008-08-11T14:25:00.001-07:002008-08-11T14:25:00.001-07:00Finally...

Finally - it took this long to figure out what was very, very apparrent and clear to ALL loyal LA Galaxy fans... that Alexi Lalas was NOT... emphatically NOT the General Manager and President that this organization deserved nor needed. I wish Tom Payne and Paul bravo the best of luck... it is a heavy, heavy responsibility to steer, guide, and nurture to full strength and growth this great organization. It takes guts, its takes dedication, it takes study and understanding to make this organization shine. <BR/>Personally, I would have liked for Head Coach Ruud to finish what he had started - but, the complications, the frustrations, the convolutedness of MLS and its by-laws are far too numerous for a 1st year European coach to become comfortable with. Having said that - isn't placing all of this expectation and responsibility on Asst. Coach Cobi Jones (only a 37-year old former Galaxy player) a LOT to handle??? Is he well-prepared and well-equipped for this daunting task? The LA Galaxy has only 11 more regular season games... in those 11 games, the LA Galaxy is expected to get to the 2008 MLS play-offs and suceed against New England Revs and the Houston Dynamo??? I do not like setting up Cobi Jones for failure - he does not deserve that!!! He given his heart and his health to this organization for 12 years.<BR/>To me - the best MLS coach is still Dominic Kinnear... he is a lion among the wolves. And, he has the record and wins to prove it. <BR/>I want to wish Cobi, David, Landon, and Chris the very best of luck... I hope they are able to concentrate, keep sharpness, focus, vigor, and competitiveness for the upcoming SuperClassico against Chivas. The LA Galaxy better come out with power, strength, speed, and hunger to take it all the way to the end of the season!!!charlesj27https://www.blogger.com/profile/12057293703738468345noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6452882722078260065.post-30937542410666652432008-08-11T14:25:00.000-07:002008-08-11T14:25:00.000-07:00What do the players think about this you should as...What do the players think about this you should ask them and post something about that.Justinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14880978413471298493noreply@blogger.com
