2024 Revs Pre-Season Roster Thread

Hopefully Curt and co. get their marching orders soon after the players do.

 

Jon Kraft knows nothing about running a soccer club and that's why they've always clung to people they believe do (O'Donovan, Gulati, Bilello, Burns), so I think it's very unlikely unless they already have a DoS.

 

Today's roster decisions probably won't be made public until late tonight.

At least Capi seems to have a good attitude towards 2024:

Who the heck is making these roster decisions?

 

That the Krafts believe that list is people that know something about running a soccer club speaks volumes to the idiotic buffoonery of their ownership

 

This is making an astonishing number of Revs staffers look bad.

 

If Hitchcock, the guy who ID'd Turner and brought in Petro, wasn't involved and maybe even disagreed with Vaclik's signing, then I'm more inclined to side with the guy who knows GKs over anyone else

 

what a shit show they created

 

I have kept an eye on the Rev's site, no mention of team roster decisions yet, imagine this could be dragged out for some time. I bet they understand if they announce any roster decisions then fans will want to know WHO made the decisions, something they won't disclose for some time is my thought.

 

Pretty much echoes what Omar said - different directions coming from multiple voices.

 

And if that explains why he didn't play, we still don't know whether he can play.

And, even more, it opens questions about whether this whole conflict prevent them from doing what was in the best interest of winning?

And then, imagine what the players are thinking witnessing a player brought in to fill a key absence and then frozen out? Are they supposed to be dedicated to winning while witnessing all this infighting, pettiness and factionalization?

 

These dates are worthless to fans if the Revs management fails to keep us updated on any progress they are making to organizing a new coaching team. When will we hear which team members are returning? Not a peep since last week and its still unclear who is making team roster decisions and who is going to be back next season.

 

The closer we get to those deadlines without a sporting director, the more you have to think Onalfo will be given the reigns.
A) if we're going with onalfo why don't we just announce it and hire a coach
B) what a disappointment

 

Key Offseason Dates:
Nov. 13 - The day I decided I wouldn't waste money on '24 season tix because the team is rudderless.

 

Still no sign of land….

 

How long is it?

 

What are the odds the Revs have either a new Sporting Director or HC by Dec 1? Probably a safe bet they are going to retread a known MLS person as they have zero imagination or desire to take a chance.

 

I'd be amazed if they have any position filled by mid December. They just don't operate with urgency on anything except pimping the Messi game

 

And, when they finally decide to hire someone, there'll be the warning that it will take some time to come-up-to-speed, not to mention the primary focus will be on finding a coach, while roster decisions get neglected or get made by the wrong people without clear direction.

 

Definitely not expecting a big off season

 

How long will it take the team to "gel"?

 

Half a season to gel, then attempt to win a few games and turn the season around. Until we have a few season ending injuries and then the staff give up on that season.
