At Raphael Wicky’s introductory news conference back in January 2020, he stressed that winning would take time, and Chicago Fire fans should be patient. Even though this was a club that struggled miserably for the better part of a decade, we all needed to remember this was, essentially, an expansion franchise. A re-birth. A new owner, new sporting director, new coach, new players (not to mention new logo, new jerseys, and new stadium).
Ok, fair enough, I thought. I’m generally a big picture guy, so it was easy for me to buy in to that. I can be patient and look for positives.
