Only one change on here…and its Andy Dorman’s destination to Scotland. As always if something is missing, please comment or email and let me know so I can fix it right away. Happy New Year everyone! Probably no more updates until Wednesday or Thursday of this week, things have been pretty slow around here anyways lately with the holidays to [...]
Looks like the Andy Dorman era (if you can even call it that) in New England is finally over. Dorman is off to Scotland to bottom-dwelling St Mirren once his contract runs out to begin the new year next week. According to the club’s official site, he will begin an 18-month contract with the club. St Mirren gaffer Gus MacPherson [...]
Greetings to you and your’s this holiday season. I hope everyone had a very Merry Christmas and that Santa was good to you as well. Time to get back to work here with just a few little tid-bits today to discuss as we get geared up for the winter transfer window that is set to open up in a matter [...]
Thank you for your support this year! I hope you and your’s have a very Merry Christmas!! Check back here tomorrow for news from around the MLS. But until then enjoy your time with your family and enjoy those nifty-gifties that Santa put under your tree! And for those who enjoy the Office as much as I do, enjoy this [...]
Only a couple moves to update here on this list. The Harris to Chivas deal and then an another Red Bull retires. I fully expect this to start picking after the New Year. Between now and then as you all know is a little slower than we’d all like. But I can tell you there are plenty of deals out [...]
I will probably end this week with this as I am set to travel back to West Virginia today from Dallas. Unless something major comes up or some trade or whatever then this could be the last post until after Christmas, but then again we will see. Last week I covered the MLS over-paid here and now we shift focus [...]
Not a real big news day but did run across this from the newswire. Real Salt Lake sent Atiba Harris to Chivas USA for a third-round draft pick in next months draft. RSL obtained the 37th pick of the annual MLS SuperDraft on Jan. 18. That gives RSL four of the top 37 picks in the draft – Nos. 3, [...]
Not a lot going on today, as it is less than a week before Christmas. But I came across this early on and wanted to share it with you all. I thought it was noteworthy enough. Sports Business Journal has named MLS commissioner Don Garber as the 27th most influential person in American sports business. The article goes into a [...]
Sometimes when you are close to a club like I am, you get a little more information on them than you normally would if you weren’t in the city that the club is located in. That is the case right now as some of my sources here in Dallas are telling me about who FC Dallas is going after in [...]
The bracket is set. The early season play kicks up again for DC United and the Houston Dynamo next March in the CONCACAF Champions Cup. According to this bracket on the CONCACAF Web site, DC will play Harbour View (Jamaica) and Houston will face Municipal (Guatemala) in the quarterfinals of the Champions’ Cup. Both games are on the road to [...]
I guess this is what happens when you get an early start to the day. I’d been meaning to go through the previous allocation list in the MLS and try and figure out its recent updates. That is a task that is more guessing than easily figuring out. I thought I’d give it a shot though and see. Yesterday we [...]
The MLS sent out their changes for next year, most of stuff you all have read on here or other sites. I won’t post the entire thing, but I will give quotes here and there from the entire document that was passed along to me in my inbox that was dicussed in a phone interview with deputy commissioner Ivan Gazidis. [...]
We know the Americans will play their opening qualifying series for the 2010 World Cup in June against Barbados or Dominica. Let’s reach out there on that limb and say the US do advance, I know, a real stretch here. Next up is a four-team, semifinal-round group between August and November with the top two nations advancing to the CONCACAF [...]
To say Liverpool co-owner George Gillett Jr. aren’t interested in their home country’s soccer league could be an understatement. Gillett and his EPL side Liverpool are hoping to be the MLS’s opposition in next summer’s All-Star game in Toronto. Most of you know my feelings on the MLS’s All-Star event but another EPL side to play would be pretty cool [...]
Probably one of the biggest no-brainers for the back-to-back MLS Cup champion Houston Dynamo, they have decided to give head coach Dominic Kinnear a three-year contract extension through 2010. Smart move as the league continues to grow, they will need good coaches like Kinnear. I like the commitment factor as well to Kinnear, who has been one of the best [...]
