Eric Wynalda says Sunil Gulati's 'agenda' is only to stay in power

Eric Wynalda has criticized the "agenda" of longtime U.S. Soccer president Sunil Gulati, saying "at least 50" people have encouraged him to run for the post in February's election.

In an interview with The Guardian, the former U.S. forward stopped short of saying he was considering an official candidacy, but he was clear that he feels a change should be made.

"I've had at least 50 calls from people encouraging me to run," Wynalda says. "Not just people on Twitter who want promotion and relegation and want the house of cards to fall. I've heard from people who want to know how we can make soccer better in this country.
