Episode 194 - Manu Garcia out, Andre Luiz in, and hopefully more to come?

Whoo boy have Sporting KC fans been through it over the last 72 hours.  Going through a depressing 2-0 loss in Colorado on Saturday which did not include Manu Garcia in the proceedings, to hearing the coach make nebulous post game statements about his future with the club, to finding out Monday evening at 8pm that he not only was leaving, but that his contract was being terminated and bought out.  Good news though, Andre Luiz was finally announced as an official signing 12 hours later!

To say that it left the fanbase a bit confused and with mixed emotions today would be putting it mildly.  Manu was a very well liked player both by the proprietors of this podcast and the fanbase writ large, so to see him leave in what appeared to be a fairly unceremonious manner right before announcing the biggest signing in club history definitely created quite the paradox.

We did thankfully hear from David Lee today and he spoke at length about the decision-making that led to these recent transactions as well as the future looking plans and it did help bring some of this into focus.  We will do our best to unpack all of this news and what it means for the club both in the short and long term before previewing the match against St Louis lowercase city tomorrow night at Sporting Park.
