General Managers Announce Plan To Step Back And Let Coaches Take The Blame This Offseason

General Managers of soccer teams across the nation announced their plan, today, to step back and let coaches take the blame as the Major League Soccer offseason began with a flurry.

“It’s important to differentiate between the poor effort you see every week and the work that I do which is largely misunderstood by the vast amount of fans out there,” stated one General Manager who has been with his team for 10 years. “I think that the next coach we hire this season will understand the players he is taking on from poor ownership, bad trades and terrible contracts over the years.”

Sources say that fans did their part as they immediately took to social media to blame the coach and the players for their poor play and the end of the season.

“The only way out of this is to fire the coach that has been here for 2 years,” stated one fan.

“Frankly I think that our players didn’t perform up to specifications for the 5th year in a row,” stated one fan. “However, I think that the coach has a lot to do with that. We should probably give this general manager who hasn’t won a single thing in his entire lifetime another 5 or 10 years to try to get it together.”

Sources say that supporters groups joined the fray as eliminated groups clamored for the ownership groups to fire the manager and buy new players.

“No one knows anything about what our GM does, and I see our coach trying and failing every week so he needs to go,” stated one Supporters Group member.

Journalists Baffled Why Game With Expensive Tickets Scheduled On Tuesday At 3PM After 3 Day Holiday Weekend Between Two Non Local Clubs For A Non-Prestigious Trophy Isn't Sold Out

INTERNET - Journalists across sports were, reportedly, baffled why a game with expensive tickets scheduled on a Tuesday at 3pm after a 3 day holiday weekend between two non-local clubs for a non-prestigious trophy isn’t sold out as they posted pictures to social media.

“It doesn’t look good,” stated the journalist who didn’t have to pay for their ticket or take time off work to be at the game. ”It’s really not a great sign of the standing of the sport in this country.”

Sources say that the amount of people who actually did show up at 3 PM on a Tuesday is actually pretty amazing when you factor in that virtually no one in the United States actually gives a flying shit about the club world cup.

“It’s a testament to how these brands have built their fanbases that this stadium isn’t completely empty,” stated one researcher. “Frankly I’m disappointed there are this many people here in the first place.”

ST. LOUIS - Witnesses say that a drone piloted by former soccer pundit and current, “THE KIDS ARE TOO DIVERSE,” grumpy idiot Alexi Lalas crashed the recent USMNT Gold Cup practice as the former mediocre defenseman attempted to spy on, “DEI hires who aren’t playing hard for the flag.”

Sources with the USMNT say that they noticed the drone was hovering over the field of play blasting Lee Greenwoods “God Bless The USA”.

“We tracked the drone operation to a furtive Alexi Lalas,” stated one USMNT staff member.

According to insiders, Lalas was in the process of using the drone speaker to ask players for their citizenship papers and genealogy records.

“He kept blasting out questions like whether the players felt bad for denying native born sons the chance to play for the team,” stated one insider. “The thing that I find weird is that he only seemed to be doing this to certain players who look certain way.”

The Nutmeg News will have more on this as Lalas says and does more incredibly, profoundly stupid things that completely destroy any remaining legacy that he had left.

ICE Farm Team Successfully Hogties And Assaults Soccer Fans At Chicago Fire MLS Game

CHICAGO - The Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) farm team in Chicago successfully hogtied and assaulted fans at a recent Chicago Fire Major League Soccer (MLS) game as the security officials were excited for the possibility of a promotion up to the big leagues.

If you need to have fans beaten into submission! CALL TODAY

Sources say that the promotion of members of the Monterrey Security Team is not guaranteed as, reportedly, they broke opsec rules by discussing how to gin up charges against the fans they assaulted in front of other fans.

“Monterrey needs to know that first you beat up, punch, hogtie fans…. THEN you assault people filming the arrest and THEN you remove them from the area and retreat to a secure area to talk about what you are going to charge them with. This was clearly a rookie mistake,” stated one ICE security staff member.

WASHINGTON - During a visit to the White House with President Donald Trump, players from Juventus were reportedly given the option to abduct and imprison any Democrat Senator they wanted.

“It’s a good time,” stated the President Of The United States. “Almost as good as bombing Iran. But not like men dressing as women dressing as men dressing as women in sport and the price of eggs going down to 30 kopeks a whistle”

Sources say that the Juventus team were given a full tour of the White House and the offer to abduct and imprison any Democrat Senator was offered to them by the President himself at the Resolute Desk in the Oval Office.

“First he said we could flip a coin and decide if someone lived or died,” stated one anonymous player. “Then he said that we could just ask to have anyone on the left thrown in jail. It was wild.”

For his part, President Trump decried the rumor as, “fear mongering by desperate leftists communists who are trying to implement sharia law in autoparts stores and make all Americans vegan transgender activists.”

The Nutmeg News will have more on this as Gio Reyna asks if the offer still stands for non Juventus players.

German World Cup Team Prepares For United States Games By Training For Tear Gas Exposure

GERMANY - The German Men’s World Cup Team is reportedly preparing for games in the United States by training for tear gas exposure and police violence as their coaches put together a plan to ensure that they won’t be surprised.

“We saw the recent video of football being played in gas during a game in Washington,” stated one German insider. “It seems prudent for our players to understand how to play through the exposure to these every day American things.”

Sources say that the team has imported American police officers and ICE goon squads to randomly launch tear gas cannisters and less-lethal munitions at players as they try to play out of the back.

“We actually had to ask them to hold back at the beginning as the people we brought in from the United States gleefully and repeatedly launched gas at our players and lined them up for shots from their non-lethal munitions,” stated our insider. “It was important for us to step into this little by little, but nothing we did calmed down the people we brought in. Unfortunately, some of our youth team were detained for not presenting paperwork and disturbing the peace as they practiced a rondo on the sidelines. We are still working to free them from a prison in Dallas.”

LOS ANGELES - God, the almighty American business god, admitted that he can’t focus on helping the poor, destitute and immigrant communities in the world until he finishes coordinating his response to the multitude of prayers regarding the 2026 World Cup by USMNT (United States Men’s National Team) fans.

“I was going to intervene in the campaign of terror against people who have been praying to me since they were born,” stated God in an exclusive interview. “However, I’m still busy with the prayers of Steve Bixby from Raleigh, North Carolina who prayed for a winning lottery ticket, a new Harley Davidson, and the USMNT to not embarrass themselves in the 2026 World Cup.”

Sources say that the amount of prayers by USMNT fans over the past year have increased to the point where God, the almighty, is unable to keep up with the demand.

“Ok, sure, yes, I’d love to be helping out the Gutierrez family with their needs as they are forcibly abducted off the streets of Los Angeles…….. But I really need to address this prayer by Steve Henderson to have Pulisic be healthy and interested in the team again.”

I think we could change the name to the Montreal Maple Leafs. All things are on the table.”

The Nutmeg News will have more as Saputo turns his eye upon the lands of Quebec.

United States Fans Ask For New, NEW, N.E.W, NeW Manager To Coach Same Terrible Players

In part four of our continuing saga of, "US fans blame coaches or home field advantage rather than acknowledging that they just don't have world class soccer players," here is our copy-paste revision of our article from 2019, our article from 2017 and our article from 2015.

After the disappointing loss to Mexico, fans of the United States Men's Team (because the United States Women won the 2015 and the 2019 World Cup) collectively lost their mind and screamed out for a new coach to help guide the same group of shit players with which all the coaches for the United States since nearly time immemorial have had to deal.

"We need a new coach who can somehow make our INSERT PLAYER HERE and INSERT PLAYER HERE players turn into Arjen Robben and Philipp Lahm," wrote @HowardFreak69USMNT on BlueSky.

I find it reprehensible that INSERT PLAYER HERE is included in this squad when we could have another forward for the United States that will miss simple shots and fire the ball 20 feet over the net. Altidore would give us that!" said JesusFreak2020 on Reddit.

"A new manager will allow us to play more like a combination of Chile, Germany and the 70's version of Brazil despite having defense and offense players on the United States roster that would not make it on Greece's 2004 Euro Cup winning roster." said Jeremy Lind on Facebook.

While the US Fans thrashed about online for the answer to an unanswerable question, they decided to blame the entirety of the mess on Mauricio Pochettino, who they were ready to bestow a sainthood upon about 2 months ago.

"It's Klinsmann/Arena/Berhalter/Pochettino fault that we have such a terrible player pool" said MLS Soccer analyst Jeffry Thorgood. "He doesn't understand how to play the poor players that we have against teams that have world class talent playing in Europe's top competitions, or... you know... Honduras."

Professor of Symbology at Cornell of Miami, David Petreus, had the following to say, "I want my cake and I want to eat it. I want Pochettino out. I want the United States to play extremely entertaining soccer. I want our fringe players to level up like in an Role Playing Game so that they are much better at controlling the ball and playing in pressure situations. I want us to do this now and I want to win the World Cup in 2018. Don't tell me that Mexico is a better team, because that can't possibly be true, because we won some games against them in the last 10 years. IF they were the better team, wouldn't they be beating us now? Exactly."

The Nutmeg News will have more on this as the wailing and gnashing of teeth continue for a coaching position change that will fix nothing in the grand scheme of life until large scale changes are made behind the scenes.
