One media company to rule them all, one media company to find them
One media company to bring them all, and in the darkness bind them
In the lands of Canada, where the hosers lie

 

Did Rogers perform a due diligence anagram check before they made the investment?

Could Bradley be returning to MLS?

 

NEWS: By way of making the playoffs this season, Greg Vanney has triggered a 12 month extension, per source.

That will keep him in charge through the 2025 season.

The Galaxy could also be open to a longer extension but I don't believe that has been approached yet.#LAGalaxy…

We'd take him back in Chicago

 

Chicago is the obvious choice

MLS has several owners like Fisher. Hope, as the news anchor said, the league (MLS) finds a spine a forces a sale on them.

 

Maybe if they followed the old EFL practise prior to the open pyramid of putting the bottom team or two teams up for re-election, with non-league teams competing for the spot.

Until the 1970s you had to be really, really bad year after year, or really unlucky, not to be re-elected

 

Sporting KC fell short vs. LAFC in the US Open Cup Final, but what does that mean for Head Coach Peter Vermes 🤔@tombogert & @CharlieDavies9 discuss the future of the club as well as what changes need to be made ⚽ pic.twitter.com/lCD5NECCZA

The ownership group at #AustinFC are all high net worth, highly successful business people. How do they look at this picture and not realize that so much of the initial goodwill & enthusiasm in the city for the club has been lost due to their unwillingness to act/change? pic.twitter.com/mWa38CHVc4

Oh, yeah. I’m blocked.

Thx,

Jay!

 

Reminds me of


I wonder what those two photos have in common.

 

I think "what it means" is that KC are forced to endure several more years of Peter Vermes, with his constant shouting and scowling.

Thx,

Jay!

 

It feels like that early success was a total fluke.

 

And NEEEEEW Chicago Fire head coach!
"Only missed the playoffs for TWO years?!? Sounds perfect!"-Chicago Fire brain trust.

Sadly, Wolff is probably:
Better than Klopas.
Better than Berhalter.

 

Berhalter joins Dumpster Fire as sporting director.

I'm sure I typed in Chicago.

 

Gregg Berhalter is the Chicago Fire's new Director of Football and Head Coach!

Berhalter wasn't bad at Columbus, even got them to a cup final. He wasn't terrible with the USMNT either.

Chicago's problems run much deeper than just coaching staff. Hopefully y'all can straighten that out with this new hire.

Even if Gregggg doesn't win you an MLS Cup, I foresee at least some improvement.

 

Dest, Jedi and Balogun to the Fire!

 

Adams and Pepi let’s go!
