McInerney also impressed in his outing for the Portland Timbers, although it wasn't quite in the role that was originally envisaged for the former Philadelphia and Montreal man.
He quickly set about his task, handing me thick brochures and narrating the grand designs envisaged for the town, with a practiced air.
