    It's almost like the social media department is trolling ES for not firing Jimbo yet, and the FO hasn't figured it out yet.

    What about those times we won 2nd in the USOC? What about that time we won 1st in the Suncoast Invitational?

    In all honesty, do they really think this 2018 team/roster is going to improve his overall record that much?

    Do they even care anymore? There is absolutely nothing in his past that leads me to believe that, with what they currently have, he is going to do anything amazingly positive with this squad.

    Squeaking into 5th or 6th just doesn't cut it for me.

    But, but, but when the wind is blowing southwest off of Delaware, the opponent scores only scores half a point, and Mercury is in retrograde..we have a 33.3% chance of making the playoffs!

    5/6 is wildly optimistic. With Accam and C.J. they will score but this defense and midfield on paper is woeful. They could finish dead last.

    How about: What are the Philadelphia Union? What is an MLS franchise that has been disappointing, well everyone, since 2008.

    And, in their last 1 MLS regular season games, the Union have outscored their opponents 5-1!

    Pretty sure that Year 3 of the plan had Jim managing a more talented roster than in Year 1 but somehow that doesn’t seem to have happened.

    That's because nothing exists past "Year 1." The 5-year plan is in perpetual

    I had to check the stats, but in games where the Union outscore their opponents, they have an AMAZING 100% record! All hail Coach Jim!

    You should definitely double check that. Doesn't sound legit... ;)

    They have a 100% record in all their games. They win 100% of the games where they score more points. Unfortunately, almost half of the players are below average when compared to the Union roster as a whole.

    Curtin will never, ever leave. Just get used to it. He won't be fired because the ownership and front office managers of this team is not concerned with winning games.

    If this continues, I'll say he is out by May or June. The question is who among Burke, Noonan, and Dick Shredder gets the job.

    If we are smart, we will wait until after a little tournament in Russia this summer to sign a coach.
