Time for a new manager with some new ideas. Basile realized it, too.

Amazing.

The joke, in case others besides John missed it, was proposing the absolutely worst-case scenario. Has any other Argentine manager crashed worse than La Volpe at Boca–given the circumstance, the expectations and the actual (non) performance? But oddly enough, after RLV’s predictable burnout in the impossibly demanding Mexico job, the even more unpopular performance of his successor Hugo Sanchez made RLV look much better in rosy-colored hindsight–as McClaren made Eriksson look better in England’s rearview– so that now RLV is working again in Mexico–as was Eriksson in England before lately moving up to RLV’s erstwhile Mexico job. Odd how the unfolding of events retrospectively causes mood-ring changes in public (and maybe owner) perception of managers’ status: yesterday’s villain becoming today’s hero and then, in time, sliding back again. Thus, myself, I would like to see Pekerman back in an Argentina job (don’t shoot me). And what about Americo Gallego? Ramon Diaz?

LaVolpe, currently smoldering at Monterrey–this week he announced that his next league opponent, Tigres, plays so badly he’d rather go shopping than have to endure watching them–who can at least be counted on to promise in advance to immediately resign should a superior side he coaches lose an important match (as he did a few years ago at Boca)?

I think I’ve probably got as much chance of getting the job, after the way his most recent spell at River went. And I’m English. I’d expect the AFA to go for someone who’s not had the job before, a totally fresh face as it were. Ischia would be a wildcard to say the least…
