Awesome to see Borussia Dortmund flying, frustrated that the Spurs can't get it together, and 🤷🏻‍♂️ re: the Timbers at this point. I feel sorry for the Timbers players but not for the ownership.

Number one need for #RCTID in this offseason: a new owner
Number two need: defense.
What we got: attackers

@TimbersFC 1) It’s not soil
2) Merritt Paulson protects abusers and needs to sell the teams.
3) Can’t wait to be back under new ownership #MPSell
I will always be suspicious of any #woso coaches/staff who have romantic relationships with players, and yep, looks like that suspicion was once again warranted.
#NWSL has announced corrective actions!
Notably Paul, Rory, Christy, and Richie are all banned for life, while others named in the reports can only be rehired if certain conditions are met.
Also, the Thorns have been fined $1 million, and somehow they're allowing Paulson's pledged $1mil donation to satisfy this fine.
Also also the sale of the club appears to be a required part of the NWSL's corrective action against the Thorns.

Since @RyanTClarke hasn't posted since mid-December, I guess it's up to us to post his news here
BREAKING: The Portland Thorns will name Mike Norris as the club’s new head coach on Monday, The Oregonian/OregonLive has learned.
Norris previously served as an assistant under Rhian Wilkinson. #BAONPDX #NWSL #woso #mpsell
I am a capo for both #baonpdx #rctid and love #woso #growthegame . I am excited to see Canada's Women's league kickoff, <3 the W league in Aus, and generally am in it for the amazing community and moments of spectacular athleticism. Power hungry abusers and enablers need to be REMOVED from, coaching, front office management and ownership AT ALL LEVELS OF SOCCER.

"This report is critical for the future of the NWSL and we commend the extraordinary bravery of the players who demanded this action and the incredible efforts and cooperation by many [not the Thorns FO, of course] to complete the investigation."

I've read the report in its entirety and and if I have one overarching takeaway on the systemic nature of all this, it's how even today, nobody takes responsibility for anything. People claiming they can't remember an email/convo, saying they told someone to ask someone else. https://twitter.com/jeffkassouf/status/1603109482351005698?s=46&t=SgpoB7Uf-kbJ5gBcxKE9SQ

#PTFC is ONE club, two teams! Merritt Paulson and Peregrine Sports must sell the whole club, both teams, together. If he's unfit to own the Thorns he can't keep the Timbers! #BAONPDX

update: whisler has hired @InnrCircleSprts to facilitate the sale. inner circle, an investment bank, is currently leading the sales of two new expansion teams for the @NWSL (one of which is widely expected to be the reincarnated utah royals).
