I have never heard of him.  Most top guys are in Europe so I assume he’s a tier 2 kind of a guy.

Sounds like he’s not even Tier 2.  He never had a job like that.  He was more of an agent but not really an agent.  He’s a partner working with agents to bring players to a club.  So basically a consultant for many years. He helps good players from shitty leagues to move to bigger leagues.  Agents would work with him and he would work with teams.  He helped multiple players from shitty leagues join top leagues.  He’s a middleman basically.

Interesting. I guess he’s well connected but wonder how he’ll do in this role.

He’s known by many teams around the world but not sure how it will transition to mls.

I think that’s the approach heading into this year. Basically clt has to get an entire team ready in the next 12 months. That’s kit, branding, name, staff, facility etc and that’s going to be hard to do 

if he has connections to get some players here to fill out a roster it will be good
