    Addressing the rumors on USL clubs folding

    USL has the highest fail rate historically of clubs in terms of major professional leagues globally. Rumors have flown the last 72 hours about two clubs folding immediately after this season. But there is a broader vision now at USLHQ, which is different from the thinking that was in place when most of the current ownership groups were brought into the league. We unpack all this.

    Why is Andy Burnham getting involved in a football matter?

    What is a very complicated topic related to Prime Minister Andy Burnham and needs nuance as well as a deep understanding of the transformation of Manchester as a city as well as the UK economy (and some basic understanding of the UK political system) is being simplified to sensational headlines bolt by proponents and opponents of Manchester City FC. I do my best to unpack it here although full disclosure I’m not sure “my best” is going to hold up in the midst of this fire storm. This is a public episode.

    Manchester City caught in an Etihad contradiction

    As someone who follows the airline industry, I was very aware and paying attention to the Obama administrations crusade ( my word, not theirs) against state-subsidized foreign carriers in the mid 2010’s. It wasn’t a policy I was wild about as it was excessively protectionist for my taste. And I certainly didn’t think it would ever impact football but here we are. I explain. This is a public episode.

    The Valencia Dumpster Fire: Who Would Actually Want to Take the Job at Mestalla?

    Valencia CF didn’t just sack head coach Carlos Corberán—they wiped out their entire sporting structure. CEO Ron Gourlay was shown the door, the backroom staff was purged, and for the fifth time since 2022, the managerial seat at Mestalla is completely vacant. The club moved quickly on the executive front, bringing back Braulio Vázquez (arriving from Osasuna) as Sporting Director—the same man who held the role from 2010 to 2013. But even with a veteran administrator returning to familiar ground, what top-tier manager in modern football would step into a situation this chaotic? Valencia used to be an elite destination because its massive ambition matched its high pressure. Now, under Peter Lim’s ownership, Valencia hasn’t just become hard to coach—it has become structurally unmanageable. This is a public episode.

    Remembering 9/11 From a New Yorker’s Perspective

    As Kartik Krishnaiyer gave his thoughts about 9/11 on his video, I felt I had to share mine as a native New Yorker born in the Bronx. That horrible Tuesday morning, waking up to a phone call from a friend in Orlando who told me to watch the news, and I saw the smoke coming out of the North Tower of the World Trade Center. Then saw in real time the second plane crashing into the South Tower. We should always remember that tragic day that affected everyone in the country. Always hope something like that will never happen again. This is a public episode.
