Must be the coach.
And then burning the dough to get Thierry Henry was not because he was the best coach, it was an ego stroke and to show everyone what Saputo can do.

I agree. It was a stroke of good fortune for the club that Henry quit so late, so they had to make an internal hire. The internal hire has been with the club for over a decade and by all accounts has the making of a great manager. Hopefully he gets a long leash, but we all know Joey isn't that smart.
