I liked him as a player. But he just seems to be a trendy pick type of hire. His brother is an Exec in the Federation and he is a friend and former teammate of Stewart. And he has never won anything. He was fired by the small club he was managing in Europe.

I guess I could be biased but it seems like Vermes and a few others like Jesse Marsch would be a better choice if you’re going the MLS route.  Marsch just seems to be a class act who gets it done with a modest payroll.  The team that is in the Eastern Division finals is still his team being managed by Chris Armas.

Vermes has built a consistent performer in a mid market as the manager and the general manage. Until this season their payroll was in the bottom half of the league.

At the end of the day, Stewart is not going to hire a “big” personality like Martino, Vermes or Marsch. These guys don’t want to run the team the Stewart way, and Stewart is said to be setting the philosophy and the system.
