Someone Already Knows Who The Coach Is

John Harkes allegedly became a bit too intimate with Wynalda's wife. Not exactly what the locker room needed. Sampson took matters in to his own hands before the cancer metastasized beyond repair.... although some would say it had already hit that level if the '98 WC was any meter.
There is a rumor that he was out with Velasquez before he went to rehab. His benching was around the same time, but I never saw that rumor substantiated by any reputable source.
Ah, this is where Wikipedia fails; and I specifically checked the "Personal Life" section.
So you heard a made up, reputation damaging rumor about one of our players (who by most accounts is a really nice kid) and by your own admission that rumor has never been substantiated by any reputable source, and you figured you would perpetuate it by posting it here? Nice.
My problem with Wynalda's tweet is that he is a broadcast analyst for Fox Sports, so if he has reliable information regarding NYCFC's next coach wouldn't he have an obligation to his employer to break that story? What's he going to do? Wait for the story to break and then go on Fox Sports and say "I knew that two weeks ago but I didn't want to ruin the surprise." Regardless, whoever the next coach is I hope that he has the sense to play Poku a lot more than JK did.
Wynalda is simply guilty of bad sentence structure. the "IMHO" should have been placed at the beginning of the sentence to make it clear he was speculating on TMac's future role. We should all know that EW is nothing if not stocked full of hyperbole and rampant opinions - although to his credit, he eats crow when proven wrong.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯ . This is an internet message board, speculation is what we do.
He said in another tweet he knew who it was already. I updated the first post but here
That's kind of what we do here. Because sometimes someone responds by saying they saw it confirmed, and that's how we learn. As long as it's accompanied by proper disclaimers it's completely proper. Plus, "out with Velasquez " is not exactly "helped procure drugs and booze for him."
I agree with that sentiment but I wasn't referring to EW's comments about Poku or TMac. I was referring to his tweet that he "already knows" who the next NYCFC coach is. NYCFC_dan posted a copy of the tweet a few posts above.
EW's tweet is from yesterday which would suggest he learned the name (if true and not trolling) either Friday or Saturday, neither of which make for good PR days. I believe the team is regrouping tomorrow (two weeks off), so I'd wager the announcement will be tomorrow, either with the new Manager greeting the players and a presser afterwards, or vice versa.
My first reaction is that Wynalda is full of shit, but then I remember how wro wng wron wrg in error I was when Messing broke the news of the impending Kreis firing, so I'll have to take a step back on this one.
If Wynalda does know who our next coach is, he knows a helluva lot more than the guys in the New York Post. FWIW, I exchanged emails with Brian Lewis and he told me he hasn't heard anything as to who the new guy is. He's pretty sure it's not going to be Patrick Vieira.

A lot of people are starting to think he is in line for arsenal.
You take that back
If EW knows the new manager, my first two thoughts are (in no particular order): Tab Ramos or Steve Nicol. A dark horse being Preki. Otherwise he's got to be talking about a rumor he's heard via a third person, because EW is a bit too smug of a guy to be rubbing elbows with Euro coaches that also want to confide in him.
