fck that SOB - I do not want him associated with this club. I despise Araos, but he was asking a legitimate question, and I definitely do not want an arrogant thin-skinned chump as the face of the club hierarchy.
Domènec Torrent Appointed NYCFC Head Coach (June '18) / Mutually Agree to Part Ways (November '19)
- Thread starter LionNYC
- Start date
Dome has a point, the question is soft. If Christian always asks him why a certain player wasn’t playing when they lose he has every right to be frustrated by it and let him know that. Berget starts and we lose and he asks him why Isi didn’t play. Don’t agree with the deragatory remark.
Don't agree with the remark. But his rationale is solid. Hindsight is 20-20.

I'm sorry, Dan, I couldn't disagree more. The question is not soft. It's completely reasonable to ask the coach why he made the decisions he made. If he can't take that, he shouldn't be a head coach. The question isn't even criticizing him, it's asking for his reasoning. Completely reasonable, and as someone said above, it's a staple of every postgame press conference in every sport all over the world. Completely ridiculous for Dome to react to it this way.

1 goal since last May. Fewer than Berget. Maybe it would have annoyed Dome to ask that question, too.
Well, you know people are pissed when we're defending journalists on here (And for the record, imo that's a good thing!)
Dome overreacted, but so what. If we won the game last night (lol) and our manager called Araos a fucking disaster afterwards we would be calling him a hero, so enough with the handbag clutching.

I don't care he lost his temper. What lowers Torrent in my estimation is he makes it about Araos and pulls this "who are you to ask me this?" BS. It's the "respect my authority" mindset of a petty bureaucrat tyrant, and one of the most pathetic types of unjustified self-regard. Note that Araos never asks a question about himself or injects himself into the conversation during the press conference. Torrent does that. Araos just reports on it after the fact.

LOL at all the people who claimed with no evidence whatsoever that Araos misrepresented the exchange, and demanded independent corroboration. Because now that we have it every single one of you just became a walking example of confirmation bias. No one person has said "I was wrong. The tape proved me wrong. I was wrong to castigate Araos due to my biases." Nope, you're all just back to "but Araos is really bad."
Some men just aren't meant to be in charge, and respond to their own failures by blaming everyone around them.

I was wrong. But, to be fair, I didn’t say anything against Araos, I just thought it was just such a weird, overreacting response from Dome that I questioned it. And now that it’s been confirmed, I still feel that it was a weird response
There's a difference between arrogance and confidence. He's undeservingly arrogant, like he's above all this MLS kids league nonsense. I feel as though he thinks he has nothing to prove here and we should be lucky to have him. I'd rather a humble guy trying to prove his worth everyday through accountability.
Fuck off man. Araos is a piece of shit and has a history of bending the truth. And I’m being kind in that interpretation.
Time and again he’s made himself the story by lying and exaggerating. So yea. I think it’s fair we asked for actual evidence considering the source.
Sorry we didn't jump out of bed this morning to give you your internet vindication. Please forgive us.
dude is staying i dont think CFG fires him, and if they do who in the CFG network are they bringing in.

I don't think Dome deserves to stay, but I also don't think the team makes the move. They'll give him the offseason and they'll give him next year. Question is, if we struggle out of the gate, how long in his leash?
No, after the evidence came out you doubled down on stupid and wrong. And Araos was vindicated, not me.
Goes for you too Kjbert
all of 2019. unless villa is unhappy ( assuming he stays).
