Good luck in your rookie season Carolyn and welcome to the mighty PTFC!

And he watched Ted lasso once

How bout we empower the Thorns FO to sign a starting #6

Wasn’t a big Gayle fan, nonetheless, he dared to call out ownership on their lack of player spending (“well below the cap” as I recall). He paid the price for his honesty. What top notch coach wants to work for an FO that is unwilling to spend the minimum.

Get well soon Bella!

Any word on when they will announce the new coach?

A reminder of how far this once great team has fallen. Raj sports seems to have very little interest in restoring us to the glory days. You need only look at the lack of quality veteran players they have signed and the ones who have left since they took over. Shame.

Seems to me the only criteria Agoos has is players not yet able to legally drink. Why can’t we sign some veteran players?

Another young player. I’m starting to think there is some age discrimination going on at Thorns HQ

Tremendous to see Caiya out there after the devastating injury. Hope she is ready for the opener!

A lot of uncertainty still lingering deep into the offseason. Maybe easier to sell tickets with a coach and Coffey replacement in place?

Hey rest of the league, stop being so cheap!

Congratulations to her, but more youth is not what the youngest roster in the NWSL needs. It’s time to get serious and sign a shutdown CB and #6 for this club to compete at a highest level.

Thornies!!!

Some big shoes to fill not only from a player standpoint but also from a leadership perspective. I’m sad not to see her retire here.

No amount will ever be high enough to replace a club captain and leader like Sam. That being said, the Thorns now need to make some huge moves to replace her. A rookie by herself ain’t gonna cut it.

Sad but not very surprising. Ownership has taken its sweet time in trying to turn this thing around and this a the result of that feet dragging. The Harvey signing makes a lot more sense now.

For Pete's sake, just make a DP rule. One person doesn't count towards the cap. Period.

$1 mil. is a drop in the bucket for most sports leagues. No excuses.

Seems like this could have been solved with a simple DP rule.

Does Morgan Weaver have a time table for her return? Will she be ready for training camp?

I like you idea of stealing Bev Yanez.

I have zero interest in MLS beyond the timbers. And even then not willing to pay extra to watch. Without pro/rel, the stakes of the regular season are too low. Loving EPL championship division.

I would imagine she will want to see who the coach will be first.

At the very least, Sam Coffey in the room

Sadly, all he had was vibes. I guess throwing your GM under the bus is not a good career move. Good on him for calling out the lack of investment in player salary by this new owner. Needed to be said.

Didn't her loan expire?

In the immortal words of an NFL quarterback, "if you aren't cheating, you aren't trying." Every team should be cheating on the salary cap because the league is not enforcing it with any degree of competency.

And yet, it was the Thorns own mistakes that did them in.

So proud of our team and the never quit attitude from the Thornies. This team deserves support, not only from the fans, but also from the front office. We need to be active in the off season to get some attacking talent and overall depth into this squad. Put you $ were your mouth is owners.
