Andrew,

Of the two coaches (the non-Anson ones) Coach Tim mentioned that you didn't recognize, I believe he was drawing a metaphor with Josef Stalin of WWII Russia--the "we must win at all costs, even if it means shooting our own men" attitude.




I was trying to figure that out - I thought it was Stalin, with the Bundesliga being Nazi Germany, but I thought it was a bit too much and it must be some guy I'd never heard of!! Would you believe I majored in History!!
