Anyone else interested in seeing Gulati gone?
Me, too...and include Bradley...despite reaching the semis of the Confederations Cup!! However, I think we're "stuck" with both until, at least, next June after the WC

It's funner to just say 'Fire Gulati' though.While this is a good point, in that he hasn't been able to wrest control of the upper levels of the game from its amateur base, that could be due to the nature of the base itself. Gulati and the BOD itself, are elected by the membership of of the Fed, which includes representatives of the youth ODP/"development"/Pay-to-Play machine (which prevents meaningful youth development reform) and the amateur state associations with their own local agendas, which have helped to prevent the development of a meaningful lower-level club pyramid. The professional division really only accounts for a third of the power within US Soccer.
Why would the other two-thirds care about the Nats that much? Why would they elect someone like Beckenbauer or Cruyff would would gut the youth club/college scholarship scam nexus' influence and force the ethnic leagues that run the states to think beyond their local beer leagues and actually get behind multi-state leagues like the USL, thus growing the number of professional clubs in this country? Gulati would have to either steal from the Fed or get oral from a boy scout in the middle of the AGM to get "fired" from his post. He is an elected official in a non-profit sport governing body, not a professional GM of a club, and since holding onto BB isn't costing the "evil" two-thirds of the sport's power structure in this country, I doubt Sunil is going anywhere until his term is up.

I think that's a great analogy, Mr Pink.Anyway, getting real change within the US Soccer Federation, change that will prioritize success in the National Teams, seems akin to 'simplifying the tax code' or 'fixing Social Security'.
Perhaps los fuerzas armadas de Honduras can help.FIRE SUNIL GULATI
