^ Yep. And might I add, supposedly there were skeptics of Armas internally before he was hired and he went out of his way to say “this is our guy”

^ Agreed.
This team is at risk of shedding interest right at the point where you’d want it to do so the least: heading into a WCQ cycle that could increase the interest from sports fans more...
I think you have to give him credit for it. If you’re going to sit in that seat and take somebody else’s opinion on that big a signing, you still bare the risks & rewards of it professionally. No way...
I always like a good (informed) speculative take.
I’d be pleased if this was the case but are we getting ahead of ourselves here reading the tea leaves?

This provides a pretty good case for firing Curtis and not just Armas. Plans we saw on the field weren’t just coming from the coach.
Well, I stand corrected if Goff says it. He’s about as good as they get on MLS beat writing
I don’t see how Armas was ever going to be a plan A option for a team that just did a rebrand and was linked with several better candidates and ended up hiring one in the end.
Seems like someone...
It just goes to show how poor a job was done on the interview / diligence in hiring a coach.
A no-brainer question in that process is to ask what style of play is intended. And then, given Armas’s...
It all seems a little bit odd to be talking about this now. If I look at our first game of the MLS season against Vancouver and the second game against club Leon… Westberg is there, on the bench.

I’m going to challenge this notion. We are past the days in this league where everyone is earning $200k a year and there are so many limitations every signing is a crap shoot.
We pay Omar...
Right from the point Manning introduced him, he was sort of presented as a this deep thinking, very professional GM, whose prior contributions were undervalued and misunderstood, much like the man...
I know the majority of the attention right now is on Armas but I think Curtis should be taking significant heat as well.
Altidore being unhappy, Gonzalez being too slow, the lack of a secondary...
Agree, but look at the route they went: guy the boss knows, has corporate experience, who produces 200 page reports. Is clearly very cerebral and calculated. For a stodgy bunch of telco’s this is...
I go back to him being furnished with a contract offer half way through the year and just putting it off. Maybe those facts weren’t public but to anyone who knew those details it seems pretty clear...
Come on. Who would seriously take statements like this at face value? (Or am I misreading your sarcasm?)
“My boss says it’s the right thing to do and I totally agree of my own free will and am not...
Agreed. He clearly has the ability to be good but in terms of willingness? He was out for a walk in the park.
I’m okay if we are 500 this year but what’s the plan to get better and why haven’t we been faster to solve the issues?
The problems are occurring at twice the rate it takes the front office to...
