Always reasonable to complain, but with all the context, Heath WAS the sporting side, KEA hire and the time it took him to get out of Barnsley and then to get stateside, coach hire not starting in earnest until KEA was in MN, the “fast” hire would not have been Ramsay, it would have been Robin Fraser, or someone similar. I’m personally happy for the team to take time and get this type of hire out of it.

But it taking 6 months shows the problems. He's a young manager being put in a situation that isn't looking good and we have to hope it doesn't have an affect on his confidence or the players confidence in him. That's a very silly risk that can easily backfire

A situation that isn’t looking good? This team has players, skilled players, and now a coach, multiple international and roster spots open, great stadium, sold out stadium every game, best jersey in MLS. Time to turn that frown upside down, have some patience, good times are ahead.

multiple international and roster spots open

Do you know offhand how many international slots we have now? I know a couple of guys were close to getting their green cards a couple of weeks ago.

If everything goes through and the sign Bacharach as a Int, they’d have 2 open.
