Tick-Tock Lalas Is On The Clock

Oh a 4-0 loss on the road for the league’s best offense is always a red flag to owners or anyone who writes the checks. Now those people who write the checks are speaking out. The Soccer Insider Steve Goff says that Galaxy owners Phil Anshutz and Tim Leweke are not happy.

“Rumblings out of L.A. (besides the earthquake that shook SoCal yesterday) are that MLS godfather Phil Anschutz is none too pleased with the Galaxy and that he and AEG boss Tim Leiweke have been discussing the club’s grim situation.”

Maybe that earthquake yesterday was caused by Anshutz and Leweke over at the HDC. Now Goff didn’t give any indication that Lalas is on the actually on the hot seat but as we all know, the writing has been on the wall for months and months.

To me the clock has been ticking for not just months but a year or so now. I’m sure some Galaxy fans would argue its been since the day he was hired.

Right now the Galaxy are in the playoff picture but with the way the club has played in their last five or six games, its nothing to brag about. The offense is good but the problems lie everywhere else on the field.

I think it is safe to say even in the playoffs Lalas is toast after this year. The only thing to save him is a trip to the MLS Cup for the Galaxy.

What do you all make of these “rumblings” as Goff put it from LA? Is it just Lalas or do you think that AEG could make some more changes other than Lalas?
