Also Danny Mwanga worked in our system with Le Toux. Problem Mwanga had was he would on average 55-64 minutes a game and paired with Pajoy (who shouldn’t even play soccer he’s so bad), Mwanga couldn’t play off him well. Though I don’t see anyone playing well next to Pajoy.

@Danny- Nowak was unavailable for a Polish Soccer Tournament last year (don’t ask either. Pretty stupid you ask me), when he got suspended this year, and for some type of personal reason in 2010 I believe. Guy always needed a break if you ask me. Now he’ll have a while. My rating for him is F. He knows talent which might make him a good scout, but he’s a horrible coach.

Ok people commenting on Philly stuff who don’t know anything please don’t add 2 cents if you dont know. Seba (Le Toux) begged and pleaded to stay here. He wanted a fair contract but a much discounted one for being a star in MLS. $700,000 to $800,000 would be a round a bout figure that he wanted. Adu is here because of Nowak. Freddy Adu and Peter Nowak are real close and Nowak is the one who reached out to bring him here. Nowak just thought he was going to take over and be the Superstar here. Problem is Adu is just an over hyped average player with very good dribbling skills and a good cross. The rest of his game forget about it. Union still have to make a splash this window transfer to save face with the fans. Just firing your coach and putting Columbian crap on the field isn’t going to cut it. If things don’t change Nick Sac will be next but that troubles me if they wait until the end of the season.

Wait…let him trade half the team then fire him. Not smart. What is this about Hackworth filling in Many a time when Nowak was unavailable. How the F is the head of the team unavailable? Selling good player for cash? Soccer is a strange Sport indeed

Thank god Nowak’s gone. No more questionable (i.e., vindictive) trades. No more bizarre formations or apoplexia-inducing in-match substitutions. Should have happened sooner. Looking forward to seeing the U “grab[] the season by the throat” (whatever that means). Good luck, Hackworth!

Mwanga didn’t work in our system anyway.
Le toux was not young and he wasn’t goin to be a real Philly player.
Danny wanted to go home.

A little bit too late, should have fired him before he shipped out 2 of their young players.
