I’m sure this isn’t the FO just cutting ties. I’m sure Rob is looking for a permanent head gig. But man he has been an absolute stabilizing force in what has become a very unstable club. Best of luck Rob. Bright future ahead man.
@ManagerTactical I gained some respect for Paul tonight. It looked like Paul could’ve knocked Tyson out whenever he wanted but he pulled a lot of punches. He saw very quickly Tyson didn’t have it and instead of knocking out a 58 year old legend FAR past his prime he showed tremendous respect.
Ran into Josef Martinez last night after his two-goal game vs ATLUTD. He smiled for multiple photo requests with fans but he wasn’t in a celebratory mood. Doesn’t like to see ATL in this state he said. He misses Atlanta.
@MikeConti929@timclark89 It is not the supporters that have unrealistic expectations. We have what the club promised. It is the club that has lost the vision.
@MikeConti929@timclark89 The club has accepted mediocrity. The club was predicated on being the best, winning trophies. Our tifo at the MLS Cup was MLS 2.0 a standard, taking the league to new heights. It wasn’t “in a cap league consistency isn’t possible.” Now we’re told to lower our expectations.
@timclark89@MikeConti929 I was thinking of the Hawks. They do just enough to keep hope alive, albeit, it’s a dim light. They make the playoffs most years but never have what it takes to actually accomplish greatness. Winning is more than talent, it’s a culture. We haven’t truly had that since Tata left.
@MikeConti929@timclark89 Consistent mediocrity is worse than complete failure one year. It allows you to scapegoat an individual or gaslight the fans saying making the playoffs (barely) & getting bounced in the 1st round is success. Then placate with promises of a better season next time. It’s old!
@MikeConti929@timclark89 That’s my point. Columbus, Seattle, and LAFC have the same restrictions; yet we consistently spend more with worse results. We can’t use the cap as an excuse. We have to hold the people accountable that are failing to get the most out of the rules. Because there are examples.
