Job Application
After a disappointing 2:1 loss to Guatemala in the quarterfinals of the Gold Cup (won eventually by Mexico), the United States head coach job has opened up. I go ahead and apply for it though I assume I'm not anywhere close to being on a big enough stage to get serious consideration.
Expiring Contracts
My last chance to try to re-sign these guys if I want them...
ST Giuseppe Sole - definitely not
MC Anthony Pulis - 30 and skills eroding
ST Anson Cousins - Nope
AMR Aiden Downes - The one worth considering. The thing is that I'm going to bring in a loaner here no matter what, so I may as well let Downes go and bring in another full time guy too and see if I get a better result out of a new hire. I do make an offer to Downes, if he'll take a pay cut I'll keep him.
