News has reached every Press Office in the world, and I feel it should be celebrated and shared with the world. The LA Galaxy revolution has hit a snitch... the snitch being that the team is still woefully awful.Alexi Lalas has been sacked as General Manager of LA Galaxy, and Ruud Gullit has resigned as Team Coach. Cobi Jones will be taking temporary charge of team affairs.
I find this story hilarious on three levels.
Firstly, Ruud Gullit has again failed at coaching. After taking time away from management to learn the game and hone his skills... he's proved once more to be inadequate. "I can’t play sexy football with this team at the moment because we are not ready for this". I'm not sure who was ready for Gullit's sexy football... Newcastle United weren't.
Secondly, after all the hype and media attention of David Beckham's move to LA Galaxy... he has done nothing to improve the club on the pitch. With only 23 points from 19 games, LA Galaxy are again struggling and are not going to win anything. A fantastic return on investment... £130m worth of investment.
Thirdly, and my personal favourite... Alexi Lalas is out, and Cobi Jones is in. What? Alexi Lalas and Cobi Jones! They're the only USA players anyone remembers?! Could they be the only two Americans in Major League Soccer?! This story completely caricatures Football in the USA. Two players from the past with ridiculous hairstyles running a club with loads of money and absolutely no success... they could just as easily be Kevin Keegan and Terry McDermott.Now that is funny.
