Are there any glimmers of hope for next season?

JH was all in on analytics based recruitment approach - presumably, Rubio was brought back to include that. I would think any attempt by Herdman to go "well I like this guy because of his CONCACAF/CMNT spirit" is going to have to be backed up by something in terms of analytics.

If you think Herdman works for Hernandez, this is true.

I don’t. They work together, best case for Hernandez. It's going to be political, more of a “one for you, one for me” player selction process.

That's my guess anyway.
