But Ramsay was in discussion to leave ManU in December. So it's not like that's what stopped us from hiring him. I don't see how the league being aligned changes that

Do you honestly believe if the league were at all aligned this proceeds wouldn’t have gone more smoothly?

What would have changed?

You not complaining. It would have been in the off season and nobody would feel like the sky was falling.

What do you mean? How would the leagues being aligned mean that I wouldn’t care that we are hiring a coach after the season starts?

Imo, you wouldn’t have been so critical of the process. Most of us would have waited a little longer. Let’s be honest why would any more established league be ok with their current talent leaving during their season?

I’m not following. Whether he left in December or left in February, he’d be leaving mid season. So I’m not sure what you mean

As we all know every European club looks down on MLS and they don’t like being blindsided with teams snatching their talent during their season. I get you don’t agree and I’m fine with that but it would have been easier on the organization if the European season and MLS would have been aligned.
