The headline contained in this next link is pure Pro-Ruud Gullit Propaganda: Gullit blames self for Galaxy flop
Ronald Blum of the Associated Press talks to Ruud Gullit about his time as a coach in MLS at the LA Galaxy, and Ruudy is pretty good at pointing the finger at everyone else.
-Don't get me wrong, almost everything Gullit says here is completely true, and its not really his fault that he was a joke as a manager. We all know that he never should have had the job in the first place, that blame all goes to David Beckham's management and AEG. But Gullit takes no responsibility for anything in this article despite what the headline says.

Thanks! I didn't even know the book was at Amazon.
Small Business owners are largely forgotten. Thats why I only focus on them. I have experience several members of my family file bankruptcy due to small business failures. I also I suffered through 2 destroyed businesses due to failure however, in my failings I have learned some of the secrets to success. (Who can say they know it all?)

The name of the blog is Perfectly Weighted Through Blog. Terrible pun, I know...
Hmmm... Don ciGarber?
Nah...
That story on the Bolton match in the Guardian is a great compliment to Holden. One odd thing: After spending most of the article talking about Stu and only briefly mentioning goal scorer Zat Knight, the reporter declares Fabrice Muamba as man of the match -- the only time he's mentioned in the whole story! Weird.
