No, he is not wrong.


But he didn’t tell them to fix their sheet. “Big shift” involves a complete restructure. “They” are the power. They aren’t going to give that up. The disease is set in.

I’ll roll with GM saying that they brought in Emma Hayes as proof they’ll go outside. But they’ve hired well on that side outside of Vlatko.

It’s going to be a MLS guy. Garber sees an opening.

The other straw I’ll grab is how loud and targeted the ‘fire greggg’ crowd was - all fans, all pundits that I saw, most ex-players were unified about the need for change

While the USSF certainly wants control, part of that is avoiding scrutiny. Hiring a yes man just begs for actual investigative reporting and the US in entering a phase of the world’s soccer attention being on it
National and international reporters would relish the opportunity to platform an anti-USSF position

That’s why I was say Renard is the concession pick - someone to placate those who want an outsider, but probably non enough clout to wrest much institutional control
