Nowak leaving United to be USMNT assistant. Soehn taking over at DCU.

Major Announcement for United Thursday

"D.C. United will hold a press conference on Thursday at 11 a.m. ET to make a major announcement. Club President and CEO Kevin Payne and Technical Director Dave Kasper will address members of the media at RFK Stadium."

Hmm...so this means they aren't bringing Nowak back and we are getting a certain coach not hired by the US Nat's. I always knew we were a bigger program. But in reality, a big player!?!?!? That could make all of our holidays that much brighter.

Oh boy, another chance to be disappointed


I wonder what this could possibly be....

 

Re: Major announcement for United Thursday

Must be the Hernan Crespo announcement...

 

Re: Major announcement for United Thursday

Already being discussed in the Near News and Rumors thread for a bit now.

Re: Major announcement for United Thursday

In a serious note, I hope that it is in regards to a new stadium, I know that we love to clown DC with the fact of playing in a baseball field but aside from all the trash talk and for the benefit of the league, I hope that its in regards to a SSS.

 

Re: Major announcement for United Thursday

I don't know why we have to read one thread to find about every single off season topic. Most of the stuff in there is just a bunch of babble. For me to find out about this announcement I will just wait until Thursday (just fine) or wade through tons of other topics in order to find the discussion on this one. I still don't understand the logic behind the single off season rumors thread. During the season each topic gets its own thread.

Back to topic:

I bet it's to announce that Novak has signed a new contract.

 

Re: Major announcement for United Thursday

They would get us all worked up just to tell us things are going to stay the same (in regards to the coaching situation)?

 

Re: Major announcement for United Thursday

But 2 threads with the same title?

Not your fault, your's was first from what i can see....but still....

Hopefully it's a triple announcement-New Ownership, New Stadium, New "Designated" Player....


Now, I'll head over to the rumors thread to see what everyone says.

 

Re: Major announcement for United Thursday

I said this in the big thread, but since it's pointed out Kasper is there I would assume it is a coaching or player announcement, rather than an ownership or stadium announcement.

 

Re: Major announcement for United Thursday

I think that once something is actually news, it can have its own thread.

 

Re: Major announcement for United Thursday

Nowak won;t be back next year; Don't know if he quit or if his contract won;t be renewed...

 

Re: Major announcement for United Thursday

Every single off-season topic? No, of course not. But every single announcement that tomorrow there'll be something to talk about (that discussion happening in another thread, of course) . . .

But hey, do what makes you happy.

 

Re: Major announcement for United Thursday

What is the issue with Nowak?

 

Re: Major announcement for United Thursday

Then why isn't Nowak there?

 

Re: Major announcement for United Thursday

Exactly.

 

Re: Major announcement for United Thursday

Because Aliens have abducted him.



I know a guy who knows a guy who said so.

 

Re: Major announcement for United Thursday

He's taking over the head coaching job at Real Salt Lake..

 

Re: Major announcement for United Thursday

Didn't Soehn recently hastily take his name out of the running for the FCD job even though they were interested in him?

If true, this would explain it.
