Hamlett's key acquisitions from outside the organization: Trade for Parker, Murillo, Kaku
Other moves under his tenure: Jorgensen, Epps, Ivan, Duncan, Duka, Keita, Gulbrandsen

The whole organization should be fired. Thierry Henry should become the sporting director/GM and Woly should be promoted as head coach of the first club. Then our budget needs to be expanded by 10 million a year (for DP'S) combined with the great academy we have and that will make Metro a winner. This needs to be implemented immediately to save the season. The academy is great but it isnt a perfect solution as the players sometimes just arent MLS material but at least we have the academy.

I could get behind this.

I can't wrap my head around Hamlett having access to the funds necessary to get another DP and just not using it, that piece at least has to fall on Red Bull.
Interesting question for Hamlett to consider though - what happens next time he has an unsettled player pushing for a move? Kaku and Murillo are both players who wanted out this winter (Murillo for even longer) and now both players look fully checked out.

Should he be in the hot seat just as much as Armas? Or does it not matter, since RB Global are so cheap and won't spend money on players anyway, essentially making the sporting directors just figureheads collecting paychecks each week.

I just doubt any of us understand his situation well enough to decide. How many of these guys were his decision? How many times was he stopped from signing someone he wanted?

i think Hamlett and Armas are a package deal. if TH14 is coming over, they will have to give him full control (i.e head coach and also GM).

Not sure I buy into that. I'd expect he would want and get some say about bringing in one or two meaningful guys, but I doubt he wants the headaches associated with GM stuff.

Hamlett's quote didn't mention anything about RB Brasil/Bragantino, Salzburg or Leipzig. Quite possible that if TH is hired by RBG, it'll be for one of those teams or just some random "RBG Consultant/Ambassador" thing.

Hamlett says that the rumor of TH going to us is false.

Is it also in the realm of possibility that this is a classic case of the left hand (RBNY management) not knowing what the right hand (Austrian ovetlords) is doing?

It is a possibility. All the rumors are being generated from Europe (RBG land) and being denied stateside.
You would have to assume Hamlett discussed the rumors with RBG before releasing a statement, unless
a) Hamlett is denying until something is finalized re:Henry
b) RBG are withholding information from RBNY and Hamlett
c) the rumors are actually bs

Let's be honest... Henry coming here makes no sense going by how Red Bull has been doing things. He's not a system guy and this has been all about the system since Rangnick has been in charge.
I'd be absolutely shocked if there's any legitimacy to it at all.

There were rumors that MLS was going to lift the recruitment boundaries. Having a big name like Henry convince youth players to pick rbny instead of Europe or another MLS club could be an interesting strategy.

Agree completely, but someone has to take the blame for the roster shortcomings.I just doubt any of us understand his situation well enough to decide. How many of these guys were his decision? How many times was he stopped from signing someone he wanted?
I would lean toward more players being brought here that aren't his idea and RB Global rearranging their bookshelves.

Blowing everything up because of six bad games when this has been one of the best-run organizations in the last 5 years. The epitome of fan knee-jerk emotions.

Every player is performing worse though compared to last season.Blowing everything up because of six bad games when this has been one of the best-run organizations in the last 5 years. The epitome of fan knee-jerk emotions.
Armas and the roster are big problems and something has to be done.
