Do you think this roster can shift styles of play to suit another manager (Curtain, Heath, Savarese) or do you think they should aim for continuity by bringing back Courtois or Jones who had Crew 2 humming seamlessly with the first team?

I don’t see a lot of people talking about the angle of “does this make sense for Nancy?” Like sure Celtic is above all of MLS but I would say the rest of the league is not. Plus trying to implement his system mid season doesn’t seem like a good recipe. Does this move really set him up for Europe?

They could have done regional mini leagues or tournaments through the spring, had the World Cup, then carried that World Cup energy straight into the season starting. Missed opportunity.

I don’t understand the negatives to the schedule switch.

- transfer windows aligned = better players at season start.
- winter break changes by maybe 3 weeks.
- least important games conflict with football.
- no international break during playoffs.
- MLS cup in pleasant weather anywhere in US.

How do the rest of the players feel about the retired players takeover for their biggest games of the year?

I am sure there is an excitement to get to play with some of these guys but you are also missing out on field time in front of the most eyes that your team will see.
