Just Fire N-Rod and Pauno will go as well. Hauptman doesn't have the resources to hold on. Fire N-Rod and be done with this sh@t already!
Exactly. Of the three, Rodriguez should be first. He won't be, that will be Paunovic, if any of them.
but if Hauptman stays then we will NEVER get better, it will be just different people running the team. I know it's probably hard to believe that he could find worse people than NRod and Pauno, but he is Hauptman after all. Hauptman is the CANCER of this team, until he COMPLETELY gone nothing is ever going to get better.
This is how it's done, i guess it's NOT that hard to sign players. https://www.mlssoccer.com/post/2019...-real-madrid-sign-argentine-exequiel-palacios Only if we had a GM that knew what the fvck he was doing. #NRodOut
I saw a Wintrust commercial during the Cubs game and they had a local soccer team in it. No not the FIRE, but the Red Stars........Owning the soccer conversation. Great Job Nelson........
I ask this multiple times a year and I even tried to search the web for the answer before asking again here: How is this calculated?
The max we can get is 46pts (4 games left x 3 = 12pts + 34 we already have = 46pts). New England has 39 points, our max 46pts - New England's 39 points = 7 as our elimination number.
or if we drop 4 points and New England gains 3 points Whatever happens next week, we can't get eliminated. I guess I should take that to the optimism thread.

It wasn't a rebuilding year — they returned more than half of their usual starting lineup, including the spine of their team, plus the coaching staff. If the Fire miss the playoff cut this year, it will be the sixth time in the last seven years that they finish on the outside. This is why we are where we are.

Here's the list of the five lowest points-per-game seasons in MLS history: 1999 MetroStars — .47 2013 D.C. United — .47 2001 Tampa Bay Mutiny — .52 2005 Chivas USA — .56 2018 San Jose Earthquakes — .62 Under the direction of our fearless leader......
Looks like Andi is going to give Nelson another bonus. https://www.mlssoccer.com/post/2019...acts-academy-standout-damian-las-heads-fulham A league source tells MLSsoccer.com that the Fire could receive in the neighborhood of $250,000 if all goes well.
I guess they trusted the process. In what other job can you perform this poorly and still be employed?
Let us hope that this is the NEXT thread to be brought to a quick and dirty end in the very, very near future.
There's talk about Theo replacing Joe after this season. Joe has had 5 winning season, made the playoffs 4 times, has a .590 winning percentage. Oh he manged them to a World Series win (108 year World Series drought). and Yet Pauno has had 1 winning season, made the playoffs 1 time and has a .310 winning percentage.
RSL FIRED their GM and they are currently in 5th place and yet NRod is STILL out GM. Please don't disappoint us Joe and keep this asshole and Pauno.
https://www.espn.com/soccer/major-l...t-paid-mls-player-toronto-has-biggest-payroll Seems like, in general, the higher spending clubs are the more successful ones. The stark outliers are us (3rd highest spending on guaranteed salary) and NYRB (3rd from bottom). That's on Nelson/Pauno. Either Nelson didn't sign the right players or negotiate very good terms or Pauno sucks at game planning with a talented roster. Maybe both. Time to clean house either way.
Definitely both. Bastian is the starkest example. Amazing, World Class player, but not the player the Fire 'needed' (yes, I really, really wanted him to join the Fire at the time, but even then, he would have been my third choice German-behind Klose and, then, Podolski). So Nelson throws 2-3 times as much money at him than any other Fire player ever. One of the highest paid players ever in MLS. He comes in does very well in 2017 (2017-$5,400,000.00). Then, in 2018, after we did sign him and pay him that boat load of money again (2018-$6,100,000.08), Paunovic plays him out of position because Rodriguez failed to sign a competent center back. The Fire resign him for 2019 ($5,600,000.04) and AGAIN Rodriguez fails to sign a competent center back, and Paunovic plays him at CB again. We spent over $11,500,000 in the past two seasons for an over-the-hill player who we play out of position in large part because they never bothered to sign the player to play the correct position. That is financial negligence.
