merely by asserting Beenie's arrival late in the Hex, you kinda undercut yuh own position dey
Maybe yuh could explain how ah do dat?
Yeah man.
Is amazing how we have short memories. Poterfield got us to the hex. Look what happened to him and us in the hex.
Bertille got us to the hex. Look what happened to him in the hex.
Pacho take us to the hex. Lets see what happen to him and us in the hex.
The Hex is de best of the best. We can not continue to play poor football and expect to keep getting good results. Eventually the law of averages will come calling. I am not calling for Pacho to be fired. I am still neutral about him. I just think that all de people who using timing as a reason not to fire him have no case. We brought in Beenie in the 4th game of the Hex in 2005 and we won 4 of the last 7 games. For those who think he shouldn't be fired come up with a better reason than timing.
You disavow timing as material in an analysis of the retention, dismissal or hiring of a coach, but in the next sentence point out that despite Beenie's 'subsequent/late/eventual' arrival, we still managed to qualify for the WC.
Ent (among other things) yuh saying there's still time to make a coaching change without prejudicing a successful WC qualifying campaign? Some men simply saying, now is not de time to geh rid a de man because of de effect it could have ... nobody knows fuh sure ... just like nobody knew fuh sure that Beenie would mash up de dance ... at that
time that decision was viewed as a better decision than not acting. At this
time, izza a similar evaluation.

In my comments regarding Sven, I noted it would be precipitous of Mexico to dislodge him now, and that he should be given 2 or 3 matches into the Hex. My position with respect to Pacho is similar. Indeed, that would place us in a similar situation as what went down with Beenhakker (the observation you made) ... which my friend, is rooted in timing.
Moreover, how do you expect to overcome your stated neutrality, other than by affording him further time in the position?
Ent by saying yuh 'still neutral" yuh feel so until yuh feel otherwise ... until other info is presented? Where yuh plan on gehhin that info if yuh doh apply more time in the position? Dahis a mater of timing. It cyah be that yuh waiting fuh somebody to unearth a novel perspective on de games that have all been dissected aplenty already?

Now, beyond that, I have honed in on the first couple match days: El Salvador away and Honduras at home. With respect to Honduras, I like the match up of Pacho versus Rueda (they know each other reasonably well). As far as Carlos de los Cobos, it's a challenging proposition because he's getting entrenched with them, but it's fair to say El Salvador has been less challenged in qualifying than we have. We've played them fairly frequently and what?, a couple times this year and late last year? Sufficient assignments for Pacho. We're competitive with them.
If Pacho survives and we end up in a playoff situation, Pacho has experience in that context that may be useful.
Yeah, iz plenty folly went down since Bermuda ... ah see that ... but the question to be answered now is ... is there more to be gained or lost by gehhin rid of Pacho
now (timing pardner)? How do we assess the net answer to that question?
