Check-in: Former #MNUFC head coach Eric Ramsay and West Bromwich Albion get a 95th minute equalizer for 1-1 draw at Derby County on Friday.
Context: Ramsay and West Brom REALLY needed that result after two straight defeats to start his stint. They are now four points above the relegation zone.

The extraordinary story of a soccer coach, a kidnapping and a Saudi job that didn’t exist
Adrian Heath was duped into thinking he was on the verge of a new job – only to be held at knifepoint in Morocco. Turns out he's not alone

Question: #MLS said Thursday extending secondary transfer window into September "will align with top leagues from around the world," but, wait, wasn't that a primary reason given in the need to flip schedule and play over the winter, which is a detriment to clubs such as #MNUFC?

Wednesday's Cartaginés vs Alajuelense match in Costa Rica featured two former Loons going up against each other! #mnufc #oalaal
Loon vs. Loon: Venegas’s Cartaginés edges Bran’s Alajuelense, 1-0
CS Cartaginés secured a massive 1-0 victory over LD Alajuelense tonight at the Estadio José Rafael “Fello” Meza, leapfrogging their rivals in the Clausura standings.

Benítez played the full 90 minutes, demonstrating the stamina and tactical reliability that have made him a mainstay in the Colorado defense this season. #mnufc #oalaal
Benítez helps Internacional notch 2-0 win over Inter de Santa Maria in Gaúcho
Internacional maintained their perfect home record in the Campeonato Gaúcho with a 2-0 victory over Inter de Santa Maria on Wednesday night at the Estádio Beira-Rio. An early penalty and a dramatic stoppage-time goal from a debutant were enough to secure the points for the Colorado, though the match proved more difficult than the scoreline suggested. Match recap The hosts got off to a flying start in Porto Alegre, earning a penalty in the very first minute when a cross struck a defender's arm.

"The ultimate measure of a man is not where he stands in moments of convenience and comfort, but where he stands at times of challenge and controversy." - MLK, who, if I am not mistaken, #MNUFC was quick to celebrate on Monday.
My ticket rep for @mnufc.com said the club is avoiding denouncing Trump's/ICE actions to avoid making the players targets which is so incredibly disappointing to me. Fans, staff, and players are targets either way.

Holy cow! Back in November 2024, in Morocco, Adrian Heath was kidnapped and threatened at knifepoint to pay a ransom during what he thought was a negotiation for a job offer from a Saudi team. We're sure glad Inchy got out of there OK! #mnufc #oalaal
Adrian Heath’s 24-hour kidnapping nightmare in Morocco
For decades, former Loons head coach Adrian Heath has followed the game of football across continents, from the rain-soaked pitches of England to the burgeoning stadiums of Major League Soccer. But as revealed in a harrowing report by The Athletic (paywalled), a recent trip to Morocco meant to secure a high-profile coaching job in Saudi Arabia nearly became his final chapter.

Loons have THE MOST GAM available in all of #MLS. Giving Minnesota even more room to work with as they build up the roster ahead of the season start. Don't be surprised if we see more incoming transfers in the next four weeks. #MNUFC
MLS announces offseason GAM count for all 30 clubs
GAM is a valuable tool for MLS roster building. Can acquire players/assets, but most used to buy down non-DP salary cap hits to fit under roster rules

Note: #MNUFC *again* leads #MLS in GAM (General Allocation Money) at $7.2 million, per the league.
Context: #Loons continue to have A LOT of roster flexibility, have been in mix for new players and still looking to bring in a few more. The season starts in one month, at Austin FC on Feb. 21.
