The Return of the New York Cosmos?
What do you get when you cross an eccentric, former footballer turned aspiring actor, with a footy team whose glory years have long since been relegated to the history books? The return of the New York Cosmos?
A new Frenchman has landed in the Big Apple and if past experience is anything to go by, he intends to take the New York Cosmos to the top of the football ladder. Eric Cantona‘s return to football after a 14 year absence, sees the ex-Manchester United idol take up the position of Director of Soccer at the New York Cosmos.
Vying to be MLS‘s 20th franchise, the Cosmos have brought in one of the world’s biggest characters to help seal the deal. Not since the days of Pele, Beckenbauer and Neeskens have the New York Cosmos boasted such star power. Cantona may not be in the same playing league as the aforementioned but he might yet have a more lasting effect on the organization.

Um, excuse me but WHAT job would it be that he is “on”?
There is no team. There are no players. There is no practice facility, no stadium, no uniforms, no coaching staff and no locker room.
What, exactly, do you think this semi-psychotic freak, who is currently leading a campaign to bring down Western Civilization by destroying the monetary system (no, I am not making that up – Google “cantona” and “banks”) is going to be doing?
