...before sorting out his contract situation.

In reference to the schedule change, he cited how it has hampered top players transfers, and chances with their national teams.

Could this weekend be the last time we see Roman Burki in a City jersey?

#AllForCity
Roman Burki was asked directly about his contract situation and the potential MLS schedule change from @tomtimm.bsky.social, here's what he had to say:

In reference to the difficult situation, it's clear Roman sees the hire of a Sporting Director and Head Coach as priority...🧵

Roman Burki is quoted talking about the difficult situation without a sporting director or head coach to get a new contract done. He calls it "a difficult situation"

When asked if he would like to see the MLS schedule move to the European model, Roman said "I would love that".

Devin Padelford, STLSC's loanee from Minnesota United FC, was asked if he'd like to stay in St. Louis. He said:

"Yeah, I am totally open to anything. Whatever, obviously, that's for the future."

If you made the decision, what would you do? Should we retain the LB or let him go back to Minnesota?

John Hackworth is a busy man these days. The Technical Director, co-interim Sporting Director, and CITY2 manager is poised to reach another final amidst an 18 match unbeaten streak.

Unfinished business after Hackworth’s loss in 2022, but it’s not the only thing on his mind.

@stlcitysc.com's technical director has balanced sporting director duties while leading CITY2 on a record-breaking win streak.

John Hackworth's evolving role within CITY SC

No one knows St. Louis CITY SC quite like John Hackworth. The club’s technical director wears many hats these days. In the midst of a turbulent season that saw both former manager Olof Mellberg and f...

Would be a perfect fit. The city would back it, they'd have a plethora of local talent, and we hear there's another soccer team in STL people go crazy for 😉

City have Dallas this weekend, at Energizer Park. In our last time out against Houston, we played the best we have all season in the last 15 minutes, but it was too little too late.

What's your prediction for this weekend? We are hoping for an MJ59 start with another long run out. #AllForCity

Full stop, that was garbage. Absolutely ridiculous for the VAR check to even occur at 110’ much less it be called a penalty on Joyner and @stlcitysc.com.

This is an embarrassment for MLS.

We're expecting to see near-record #AllForCity signing, Fallou Fall debut for STLSC tonight in a low pressure situation in our friendly against Aston Villa.

Here's a great video from @soccerzombie.com breaking down the player and what he brings: youtu.be/wWjVk1eG9Q4?...

Here's to his good health!

Score Predictions for tonight:
E: 4-2 featuring Donyell Malen
G: 4-1, at least 1 from Morgan Rogers
J: 5-0 with John McGinn netting one

Not the prettiest #AllForCity we have ever had, but with all the squad rotation (expecting 20+ players to play) and form we're in, we're hoping for a fun match.

READY TO RUMBLE 🥊

St. Louis City Boys @stlouiscityboys.bsky.social · Jul 24

Just bringing our favorite rumor over to BlueSky 😇 Rumor has it Dortmund and Parma are off on their valuation of the player… With the Son to LAFC rumors, all we’re saying is anything is possible 😂

Great recap of the #MLSAllStars challenge ICYMI, or turned it off part way through. The all star festivities lack some sauce.
Personally, would love to see the addition of former legends or "alumni". Dempsey and Heaps were fun inclusions, plus the De Rosario cameo. What would make you want to watch?

18 points in 23 games this season 😭 Will we reach 30 points this season? Probably not... Our schedule does not get any easier this season, with Montreal being the only team coming up with less points than #AllForCity. We are in our Underdog era 🐶

In #allforcity news: Vietnamese club Thep Xanh Nam Dinh FC announced the signing of Njabulo Blom on Instagram today.

Blom’s buy option wasn’t picked up by Kaizer Chiefs following his loan stint last season.

No loan/selling terms reported, but St. Louis desperately needed the roster spot.
