On current assistants, depends on which team. Also those guys are used to and will demand a well run organization that will spend to the best of it abailities. MP, yeah, is unfortunately going to be a hurdle. Who wants to work for a guy who basically covered up sexual harassment? And let's not forget taht even though Ned appears to be an ok guy, he' doesn't yet have much of a track recordfor success.
The silver lining for whomever we hire - especially if we go foreign - is that Ned probably understamds weird salary cap/roster rules as well as anyone. Not saying he's Chris Henderson or Ernst Tanner but there are worst GMs in the league than him.
i don't necessarily have a list - ok, I do but those guys already have gigs and probably aren't going to drop whatever they're oding to now to save us. For now, I can think of a coule of names: Feretti, BJ Callaghan, Kah, etc. Even Marsch (gulp). As for international - just don't hire Phil Neville or Sam Allardyce. Hey, what is Pirlo doint these days - I'd give him an interview.
How about the Timbers emulate what Philly does for him. Get a long-term identity, get a solid academy to train kids in said identity so we have a steady stream of kids they can call up. Then get solid DPs and some other mls players to round it out.
Don’t follow the Union closely so don’t know much about his tactics, flexibility, sub patterns etc. But I do know his guys play for him. I could see that when they came to PP last year. A manager who commands the respect, the belief of the players, is just as important as tactics etc., maybe more so. I hope the search takes that into consideration.

Isn't Frank Lampard looking for a job?!
Though it’s my pipe dream: Curtin.
He'd be great, but not going to pry him away.

That's why JC has been successful.
Absolutely correct.
Mine too, but he just signed an extension that keeps him in Philly until 2026.
