I loved Brad but I think we shipped him out at the right time – no matter how hard it was to stomach at the time. Clearly, he's not playing in the best Villa team but I think it's clear that age is finally catching up with him. He'd make an excellent goalkeeping coach!

greco82 Posted December 4, 2010 Share Posted December 4, 2010 I can see brad managing in the MLS. Or running the academy that he set up in the states, if I remember correctly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

""Villa scouts have looked at Rangers keeper Allan McGregor,28, as a possible replacement for Friedel."" Good luck with that one Gerald.

Coatbridge rover Posted August 17, 2015 Share Posted August 17, 2015 I believe brads academy went tits up before he left rovers I always thought that's why he went to villa with that learner chap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gav Posted August 17, 2015 Share Posted August 17, 2015 I believe brads academy went tits up before he left rovers I always thought that's why he went to villa with that learner chap. Yes i thought that also, I'm sure he was quoted as saying Learner would be helping with his academy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coatbridge rover Posted August 17, 2015 Share Posted August 17, 2015 I thought my mind was playing tricks but I'm almost positive they had a link. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

awhom111 Posted January 6, 2016 Share Posted January 6, 2016 Brad Friedel was named USA U19 Manager. That's not actually a competitive age group in our confederation, so presumably he will be helping players get ready to play for the U-20 team. Interesting that he's moving into management and not just goalkeeper coaching. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toogs Posted January 15, 2019 Share Posted January 15, 2019 You can vote for the best title winning Keeper in the premier league era on the BBC website. Brad Friedel isn’t on it. Joe Hart is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Again, I think Lehmann is far better qualified to be on such a list. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admiral Nelsen Posted January 15, 2019 Share Posted January 15, 2019 In a better team, certainly. Time plays tricks on you, but I genuinely remember thinking towards the end of his time at Rovers that you could make a case that Brad was the best in the prem era after Schmeichel. I don't remember Lehmann having a too much of a stellar time at Arsenal, even though he was in a great team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just realised that after viewing the page for the fourth time! But it's a disgrace that there's no Flowers option! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arbitro Posted May 9, 2019 Share Posted May 9, 2019 Friedel sacked. The article mentions him as a former Liverpool and Tottenham goalkeeper with no mention of Rovers. https://www.skysports.com/football/news/12096/11715685/former-tottenham-and-liverpool-goalkeeper-brad-friedel-sacked-by Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
