    Jamar Dixon has signed with the Ottawa Fury, which I think is his hometown club. Excited for this move.

    Do you even read what people write in their responses or is it all just an illusion from the alternate universe you appear to live in?

    Actually no, Grizzly also pointed out that Deportivo was (and currently still is) a yo yo club, outside of a golden decade. You never even acknowledged that in your response. 
    This was neither said nor implied by Grizzly. He never mentioned West Ham or Burnley once in his post.
    I think you are downplaying the achievements of Mario Gomez this year. 27 goals in the Turkish league was so impressive that it saw him get recalled into the German national team. When he was a 10 - 12 goal striker with Fiorentina in Serie A, he was overlooked for the national team.
    By the way, his Europa League scoring rate at Fiorentina was 3 goals in 14 games, while at Besiktas it was 2 goals in 5 games. So he has a better strike rate at Besiktas in the same competition, which is counter evidence to your suggestion that he only scored so much because Turkey is much weaker than the top leagues.
    So, did Mario Gomez actually improve in Turkey ? Or, did Germany recall him because he's in goal scoring form? Either way, one thing is clear, playing at Besiktas has given him more value to the German team national team and perhaps that's evidence that Besiktas (right now) is a better level than you care to admit? Playing at better levels makes you more valuable to your national team and often wins you a call up, we all know this.
    I don't think Atiba and his lack of Urgency is in anyway a result of playing in Turkey. That is just a flaw in his personal game. I understand what you're saying, but can you provide an example using at least 1 other player who's suffered from this as a result of playing in Turkey? Otherwise, you are connecting dots that are not there...

    I have a memory and my memory tells me that Deportivo had an exceptionally strong period in its history in the early 90s to early 2000's both in the league and European play but previous to that and since then has been mostly a yo yo club between the first and second division and usually a mid to lower table team when it is in La Liga. Not that that is bad or that playing for them would not be a great achievement for Piette but if we are going to compare them, Besiktas has consistently been one of the top Turkish league teams while Deportivo has as often as not been in the 2nd division. But yes if folks like you have a memory that only remembers 1992-2004 Deportivo they were indeed a stronger team during most of that period. In general though Besiktas has been and is currently the stronger team and are the reigning Turkish Champions while Deportivo was only 4 points away from getting relegated this season. One would think someone who is such a big soccer fan and lives in Spain would have some memory of Spanish soccer history.

    Malyk Hamilton has signed with West Ham as a full-time scholar and will start playing with their u16s. His next step from there will be the u18s.

    We don't currently track mangers/coaches. But I guess we could.
    Is there any interest in this?

    This. And it is nothing against other people doing great work, it is about some things being worked on for years, decades, collectively, often with a lot of time spent on them. Uninterestedly. Which is why the list should be on this site, on this thread, however uncomfortable that might seem. I do not agree that less than 48 hours after someone asks for relief from the task the criteria changes, like that. 
    Also, if the criteria is going to change, we need to discuss it. Example: Jamie starts a thread about consolidating threads, cleaning up the site, and then patiently hears out comments that have been dribbling in for a week or so. That is the right way to do it.
    If not, I would simply ask again who would like to take over the thread, as is, with freedom to do agreed upon alterations in criteria, and then see what folks have to say. All over again.
