Supposedly, Fabio Capello has a job offer from a club in the MLS . The club was not named, but who else can it be? The only clubs who have the audacity to do this would either be New York Red Bull or the Los Angeles Galaxy. Red Bull is doing quite well, so why would they be looking for a manager? That leaves the struggling Galaxy.
How many head coaches have been at the Galaxy since they won the double in 2005? Three or four, is it? They sacked the coach after winning the league and the US Open Cup, right? Reminds me of some club in Spain recently managed by one Fabio Capello. The signings of David Beckham, Abel Xavier and Carlos Pavon seem to be an effort to emulate that club. Xavier and Pavon are big names compared to 90% of the league. Didn't they try to tempt Zinedine Zidane out of retirement? Didn't they trade one of the most effective strikers in the league for the biggest (under-achieving) name in US Soccer? Was that a marketing move or a valid football transaction? Did they just change their colors to white? That new white home jersey is suspiciously familiar .
Did the MLS misplace the Real tag? Royalty does not go well with Salt Lake anyways, it sounds better with Los Angeles.
Should we start calling them Galaxy-cos?
