"But, but, but we BEAT them. We must be better than them. Nelson?!? How could this happen?" -Andrew Hauptman. What until 2020 and the Chicago USL team (if that happens) is instantly ranked higher.
I like how you can't comment on any of the latest Yes, multiple USL teams #331 FC Cincinnati #337 Orange County #360 Louisville City #391 Real Monarchs #401 Phoenix Rising We are 20th out of 23 MLS teams, only Orlando, Minnesota and Colorado are worse. I'd like to see where we were before Andi's ownership.
Wouldn't it be awesome if there was Pro/Reg system (not saying we need this) and the Chicago USL got promoted the same year Chicago Fire got regulated.
i have never really been for the pro/reg system in the us, but there are certainly times where this organization makes it look appealing.
Only if we had an opportunity to sign such a player to help sell others players on playing here. https://www.mlssoccer.com/post/2018...didier-drogba-swayed-him-sign-montreal-impact
Bastian is that player. Too bad we don't have a front office that properly respects and utilizes him, on and off the field.

Clearly my rants against Hauptless and his band of merry minions are having an effect. Arrived home last night to be greeted by my agitated male cat at the back gate, empty cat food bowls in the kitchen, and a TRASH PANDA staring back at me as I bent down to refill them. Big fkucer too, sauntering out the back door to plop his chubby butt on one of my patio dining chairs! "Wait right there, Mofo. I ve got just the thing fer you....[heads for cutlery block, grumbles] fookin' rodent, I'ma turn you into a FASHION ACCESSORY!" Couldn't spot an Andell logo on him, and of course he was masked. But I know who sent him. I know. #HauptmanOUT
I'm shocked that Andi didn't have the team take a boat to Germany. ORD ✈️ MUC via @DjoMihailovic 😂 #cf97 pic.twitter.com/Uo1wSrkUfq— Chicago Fire FC (@ChicagoFire) August 25, 2018
It's a shame, how Andi, NRod and Pauno ruined Bastian Schweinsteiger's two year stay here. He deserved so much better than that, at least the league paid he very well the last two years.
Can we get a countdown to the MLS Draft in here? I expect that to be the time where they'll announce an official sale. Hauptman needs to sell and not for any reasons we've given here. He's just not gonna have the money anymore soon. I don't think it'll be to Ricketts either. It'll be 100% to Mansueto who'll make a deal with the Ricketts team, since it's actually owned by Sterling Bay and I'm sure they'll be happy to deal with him. This is no longer a game of "Wishful Thinking" or "Will it Happen", this is a waiting game. Since the minority owner announcement, it's been a waiting game. Now we've just got to wait.
We had THREE head coaches before the Hauptman era 1998-2007. 1.Bradley 2.Sarachan 3.Osorio We had FIVE head coaches under Hauptman's ownership 2008-2018 1.Hamlett 2.CDLC 3.Klopas 4.Yallop 5.Paunovic 6.??????
