Leave it to Ives: Osorio is Staying
By: Dave Martinez | December 2nd, 2008
Got to love SBI.
A day after we put Red Bull fans into a panic, Ives comes in to sooth the minds of the already paranoid and depressed.
Juan Carlos Osorio affirmed his return next season. So much so that he claims to have turned down over a dozen job offers to stay on.
And here is another rumor killer - Osorio seems to be referring to Red Bull Salzburg when speaking of the need for more support with the onfield product. With a year left in his contract, the Coach wants to put the finishing touches on a near miss team, and that means having the entire organization on board with the idea.
My take? Well, the quotes from GolUSA don’t exactly conflict with the report by Ives. Osorio still seems to be saying that he needs more in order to reach the next level, and is still adament that the organization must be commited to the growth of this project. Where the fault may lie is with GolUSA’s sensational cover page story, followed by some creative graphics in its layout (such as highlighting “No Se Si Sigo” - translated “I don’t know if I will continue”).
What do you think? Osorio claims to be coming back next year, but as Fire fans are quick to tell you, jumping ship is nothing new for the Colombian Director. Share your thoughts.

So I’m confused is JCO saying that he wasn’t quoted in GolUSA? Because I doubt a magazine would resort to just making up quotes. And I you look at the quote…
“the club wants myself and Juan Pablo Angel to continue, but there isn’t much interest in reinforcing the team”
He clearly isn’t talking about Salzburg, because because Salzburg isn’t the end-all as far as reinforcing the team is concerned.
I did find this quote funny as hell though….
“the lateral players don’t attack correctly and can’t put up a good cross.” LOLPosted from

Chris, i am interpreting the situation like this:
The quotes seem accurate (based on the SBI quotes) but GolUSA took some liberties in highlighting parts of the story to MAKE it a story. I am sure JCO isn’t happy with the current configuration of the team, and wants to make it very clear that the RBFO needs to have his back. But as far as him leaving? Its a bit of a stretch.
As far as “who is the target of his venom,” he claims Salzburg over at Ives, but if you think about it, those are the guys that ultimately have final say, so it may actually be a correct assesment. There was a kid last season they tried to get off of a B team for Red Bull and they wouldnt let him go.
Lots of room for interpretation here.

I gotcha. In other news, SBI says JCO doesn’t want to use the second DP, would rather use the extra cap room to upgrade players, which I think is smart. SBI also says he is hinting at trading it away for more players. And Rojas and Pietravallo are comming back.
Oh and RBNY wants DVB to take a paycut. DVB says he will head to europe before taking a paycut.
