Like father, like son?Mo Johnston must have the shakes and the cold sweats right now. The Scot has many detractors but
those who do back him use his record in the MLS SuperDraft as a defence. However, with a few days
to go before the 2010 draft, where he is supposed to show his wily eye for talent, Johnston and his
TFC "backroom" (about two guys and a some NCAA DVD's) do not have a first round pick and only a
couple of late choices at their disposal.
By L.E. Eisenmenger - BOSTON, MA (Jan 8, 2010) USSoccerPlayers -- Patrick McCabe is the Senior VP
and Managing Director of First Wave Sports, as well as a prominent player agent. They represent
coaches Sigi Schmid, Robert Warzycha, and Preki, and players including William Hesmer, Troy
Perkins, Nat Borchers, Jim Brennan, Baggio Hassidic, Jack Jewsbury, Stefan Miglioranzi, Logan
Pause, Teal Bunbury, Andre Akpan, Chad Barrett, Robbie Findley, Alejandro Moreno, Yura Movsisyan,
and Cam Weaver.
Most of the industrialized world has been in the grip of a harsh recession for the last couple of
years and things aren't turning around yet. Jobs have been lost, people are losing their homes ...
no one will pay Portsmouth FC's player's wages - the horror of it all! Well, Major League Soccer
itself is far from immune.
While on his way to Philadelphia to attend this year's SuperDraft, TFC Director of Football Mo
Johnston will likely be stopping by a leper colony to do some healing as well as turning some water
into wine on the flight. That is the level of miracle many TFC supporters are expecting before the
draft begins as hopes are high that the ever humble Scot will be able to deal for a high pick.
