The Colorado Rapids fired manager Anthony Hudson yesterday. This should not be a surprise to anyone even remotely aware of the goings on of MLS. They’ve lost seven of their first nine games, and have not claimed a W at all this season. The Fire dropped a four-spot on them in what feels like a lifetime, but was really only two weeks ago.
But Colorado’s problems go deeper than tactics or management. They have an ownership problem. Stan Kroenke is nowhere to be found. An absentee owner with better teams in his team portfolio— Arsenal are playing for a spot in the Europa League Final, the Nuggets are in a tight playoff series with the Blazers, and the LA Gladiators are the third best team in the Overwatch League— his negligence of the Colorado Rapids is easy to spot.
