Sacha joins Randy, Danny & Brooke to talk about the firing of Bradley Carnell, why he thinks this is a case of Carnell being the victim of his own success, the firing coming off as harsh considering the 1st year success, not seeing a lot of tactical changes from Carnell in his time, why that criticism is so similar to ones that face the Red Bulls and teams of that style, leaning on the new coach bump for a big win over the Earthquakes and why the expectations from management doesn't match up with the talent level of the roster--especially offensively.
