-DC is in the business of selling home grown players, not spending money on foreign ones.

-7:30 Start times are way too late (no thanks to the terms dictated by the Apple TV deal), especially for kids. Seems they prefer to take the Apple TV and sponsorship money instead of growing the fan base by encouraging some of the thousands upon thousands of kids & families to come.

-Bring back the Soccer Boats, bring Back tailgating, bring back earlier games and deals for kids, spend some money on a few players and get a coach who is better.

Why would be be forced out of he's done a much better job with the team then they were last year? The were last place.

1) It is a pain to get to Audi Field and back. Plus parking is expensive.
2) Games start too late to bring kids. We still go every now and then, but getting back home around 11PM is a pain.

+1 I could not agree more about the location of the field. We also live in HoCo and attend Washington Spirit games more than DC United. Getting to Audi is a total pain, and the price of parking is nuts. I would attend both teams' matches on a regular basis if getting there was more convenient.

If you drive over towards the river and park on a verge near the little park area no-one ever shows up to give you a ticket.

The rumor is that he was drunk the whole time and hasn't showed up to a practice for months. I wasn't at practices myself so cannot confirm or deny the truth of any such rumors.

Well that's a crock. They can't sell any home growns because they don't develop kids so they aren't worth anything to anyone else. Kevin is the only kid they ever sold for any amount of money.

I don't think it's a force out, I think DC was a coaching developmental stepping stone to go back to England. His family is still over there.

Just sold Moses Nyeem $400k, Peredes 7.35 mil. Yow 91k.... Selling those 3 exceeds the funds they have spent so far. Point is, you have to get revenue in before spending. They just don't have the deep pockets to compete with the better funded MLS clubs.
