Stop using clean sheets as a goal keeper metric.

🚨🚨 If Santi is gone, I have thoughts:

1. Santi going for $17m makes him the 5th highest outgoing transfer in MLS history -- Great business for David Lee.

2. Pascal now has the opportunity to acquire two DP centerpieces to build around.

Good news all around in my eyes.

Sources: NYCFC will name Pascal Jansen their next manager. @fabriziorom.bsky.social first reported.

Jansen leaves Hungarian giants Ferencváros after just half a season, with City Football Group buying out his contract.

Free newsletter: Local coverage is the lifeblood of pro sports. It’s true of the NFL, and it’s true of the EPL, and it’s been true of MLS since day one.

What I want for Christmas is for you all to find & support someone providing local coverage in 2025.

Starting a wish list here for the open NYCFC head coaching job. Comment below your wish:

1. Pep Guardiola (he clones himself and coaches Man City and NYCFC)

Saying the quiet part loud.
I'll just say it: The amount of loyalty CFG has to Cushing is insane. This guy's 37-39-31 across all competitions, has fucked off $30m worth of signings and they've gone from perennial Cup-caliber to "hey they might get lucky and win a round."

I love him b/c he plays homegrowns but my goodness.

Tonight wrapped a season in which I covered 16 NYCFC matches + 4 NYCFC II matches and published 45 game-specific articles for @hudsonriverblue.bsky.social

Thank you to any readers of any of that coverage. We are always posting offseason or not, so don’t be a stranger: www.hudsonriverblue.com

More than $20m worth of spend on guys who either aren't going to figure at all, or only in desperation time.

Day 1/1 of asking NYCFC to join Bluesky so I can put out their starting XIs.

Any former red bull player at CiTi Field "covering" the game should be booed on sight. This is a PSA.
