Andy Gray comments on passion in a manager and refers to Jim McLean who I was fortunate enough to know some years ago. I have never known anyone who more passionate about winning and playing well than Jim McLean. He once fined each of his players after they had won 6-1 because he thought they could have done better. And for those of you who are beginning to worry about post-World Cup withdrawal don’t panic – the Champions League draw for round 1 and 2 will be made on Friday.
I am the soccer analyst for the Fox Soccer Report and appear twice a week - every Monday and Friday at 10:00 EST. I have also been a regular contributor to the Fox Soccer Channel website since the summer of 2004. Over the last twenty years I have contributed to various radio and television programs throughout North America as well writing about the game for newspapers, magazines and websites.
Thank you to all who take time to visit this blog and especially to those of you who post your comments and thoughts.
PS - If you have questions please post them on the regular Monday blog. I am unable to answer e mails posted to the inbox on this site.
And one more thing. If you have questions or complaints or compliments about programming please contact Fox Soccer Channel or Fox Sports World Canada directly. I have no control over what the stations televise.
