That shit is all meaningless now anyway. The between-the-lines was clearly that the balance in the room was wrong, and he was upset about his father being let go. Both of these are obviously true...

We got a glimpse of it last season, before he was injured again, in the 4-0 win over Charlotte, where he scored a nice goal and setup another. Everyone was clicking. It felt like the old days again....

Buy out Michael, trade the TAM players (Johnson, Rosted, Petretta, Osorio, Diomande, Akinola) at a loss or with willingness to eat much of their new deals.

Try to sign Ibarra, rein in the Italians...

A clean break would probably be good at this point.

Is he a youth coach, maybe? Or is he too intimidating for that? He's never come across as warm and supportive, but maybe our youth have had too much of that.

Or is the prospect of another Bradley...

Literally, this is our entire defense. None of them can read when to break out of the zone and cover, or backup someone moved out of position. So we're just swiss cheese.

Craig Forest, who has...

Yeah, I mentioned not spending money a few times, and the answer was generally "that's not the issue, it's spending it wisely." So if the right pieces come up, they'll shell out. Hernandez only...

Yeah, I did ask that question a day BEFORE the firing.

They're aware, dude. The constant word I've had for the last four weeks has been "none of you are wrong, we know that. We just don't know...

None. I know they've been talking ABOUT managers and the need to make a change and it becoming inevitable for most of June. So I imagine they have feelers out to people.

The one thing I know...

My front office source, who is very close to all of this, terms the notion of us hiring Michael "an insane conspiracy theory."

Actually, it was the somewhat deflating and despiriting 'come on,...

I imagine it's a calculated decision. He may have decided there was nothing to indicate any issues, so why take it further than official comment.

My only concern with it has nothing to do with the...

The reason people get pissed off is you add in malicious stuff like "and no doubt, led to Mike storming into Manning's office and that was the end of the Perez role in the offseason...."

That's...

Everything's hunky dory, John Molinaro insists.

I appreciate his approach, to balance the viewpoint. But this is facile, naive reporting...

We're 20 games under .500 since 2019 and have blown through tens of millions on DPs with no improvement in the standings. That he's survived this long really does not suggest MLSE pays any attention...

It's notable in that presentation that the best game we've had this season, Miami, Michael was 7th on the team in touches, not first or second.

He was good. He's gotten to that point where in each game there are a few moments when there's nothing he can do about it. It's not that he's slow, because in two consecutive games he's outrun other...

My concern is by whom.

MAK is a true 8; he is good at holding possession and linking play, but he is weak defensively and even weaker offensively.

Oso is an 8/10. If he had more acceleration,...

Also that first 4-1 loss to NY, when Amaya kept stepping up constantly and breaking us up, barely over the half line. He's small but his speed and mobility make him a very effective DM.

40% mediocre, 30% good, 20% bad equals upper level mediocre... which for a 35-year old isn't bad.

His defensive numbers aren't helped by his age and speed but that's not why he's not an elite DM....

I'm not sure why he thinks I'm referring to him. He's on ignore, so I don't see his posts except when someone else quotes them.

No, I was quite specific about it being a generality.

Yeah, not a new message. Most people seem to agree with this utterly sane position.

I'm sure no one's stupid enough to look at a captain who has led us through two finals and had top-tier numbers...

There's some question as to whether he's the guy for that. Jesse Marsch said when he played with him that Bradley was the supreme competitor and the toughest guy to play against, but he wasn't a...

And then he said this today about being in TO:

Well, he scored nineteen goals in one season in the Eredivisie. I imagine he has a few qualities.

Maybe, yeah. Johnson seems to have a lost a step of speed this year.
