It was a horrific season for the Chicago Fire. Everything that could go wrong did. And everything that went wrong led to an increasing disconnect between the fans, the organisation, and those that run it. There might not be a more disjointed club in all of Major League Soccer.
As a result, Nelson Rodriguez has decided to blow everything up and start all again. Sadly for many of the fans, the only things Rodriguez didn’t change is himself and the head coach.
Nevertheless, at one point this offseason after all the contractual options were sifted through and the executives began to whittle down the squad, Chicago had only 15 players on their roster.
