The results of the U.S. Soccer investigation. Gavin Wilkinson and Mike Golub’s firings. Fans calling for the sale of both teams. Sponsors dropping out and applying pressure. Merritt Paulson stepping down as CEO.
Vladimir Lenin once said there are decades where nothing happens, and there are weeks where decades happen. That rang true for the Portland Thorns and Timbers over a span of eight October days, and it’s been a lot for fans and other stakeholders to process.
