The terraces

Anger at New York Red Bulls spills outside the ground

It has stopped being a mood in the stands and started being something organised. Boards can ignore a bad atmosphere for a long time; they cannot ignore this stage of it for very long at all.

Boardroom

New York Red Bulls hand the job to Liam Hughes

“I have supported clubs like this one. I know what a bad Saturday feels like here.” The new man starts with nothing behind him and everything in front of him.

Market

Romeo Padrón asks to leave New York Red Bulls

“I have given everything here and I need a new challenge.” The request is formal, and the relationship will never be quite the same again.

Squad

Jorge Ruvalcaba in a row with a teammate

It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at New York Red Bulls this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Squad

Words at New York Red Bulls training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Cameron Harper is at the centre of it, and the squad will now find out whether the standard rises or the pair of them simply stop speaking.

The dugout

A clean slate for Emil Forsberg

A new manager did not pick last season’s side and does not care what it looked like. Emil Forsberg has taken that personally, in the best sense, and New York Red Bulls are seeing a version of him the last regime had stopped seeing.

The dugout

Wiktor Bogacz asks for a word with the manager

“I would rather say it to his face than read about it.” The meeting was requested by the player, which tells you most of what you need to know.

Market

The Peyton Miller talk will not go away

Another week, another link, another denial nobody quite believes. New York Red Bulls know the market decides these things, not the back pages — but the back pages are louder.

Match

16 matches without a win for New York Red Bulls

The run now stands at 16, and the questions being asked around New York Red Bulls are no longer polite ones.

The terraces

Supporters organise against the New York Red Bulls board

A bad atmosphere can be waited out. A group of people meeting afterwards to decide what to do about it cannot, and everybody in the building knows which stage this is.

Match

7 matches without a goal for New York Red Bulls

The chances are being made and something is happening between the making and the finishing. 7 matches now, and the anxiety in the ground arrives a little earlier every week.

Market

Romeo Padrón hands in a written request

“I have nothing bad to say about this place. I just need to be somewhere else.” It is in writing now, which changes what New York Red Bulls can pretend not to have heard.

Squad

Tempers go at New York Red Bulls

Cameron Harper was at the centre of it, and by the time it was pulled apart there were three or four others involved. Training grounds are small places and long seasons make them smaller.

Squad

Jorge Ruvalcaba falls out with a teammate over standards

The oldest argument in any dressing room and the only one that is genuinely about football: one man thinks another is not putting enough in. It is also the row a manager privately does not mind having happened.

Match

Philadelphia Union take the points off New York Red Bulls

Beaten 0‑1, and beaten fairly. The manager kept his words short afterwards, which was probably wise.

Squad

David Weah signs on for more

“Some decisions take a long time. This one took ten minutes, and most of that was finding a pen.” David Weah and New York Red Bulls agree another 4 years.

The dugout

The view from the dugout

“We will look at it, we will learn from it, and we go again.” The three sentences every manager keeps for a 0‑1 defeat, delivered by Interim Coach to a room that had heard them before.

Boardroom

New York Red Bulls run out of patience with the manager

The end came on a Tuesday, as these things usually do: a short meeting, a shorter statement, and the manager clearing his office by noon. Football’s cruellest ritual, performed to schedule.

Squad

A knee injury of the worst kind for Emil Forsberg

60 days on the estimate, and a long, private, unglamorous year of a rehabilitation nobody watches. New York Red Bulls lose a footballer; he loses considerably more than a season.

Boardroom

New York Red Bulls have nobody left to take training

Not an interim appointment — an institution with an empty coaching office. Somebody unfamiliar will run the sessions this week, and the question of how a club gets into this state is one the board will be asked and will not answer.

Boardroom

Interim Coach steps up at New York Red Bulls for now

“Somebody picks the team on Saturday. This week it is me, and that is as far as I have thought.” No promises were made in either direction, which is how these usually begin.

Squad

Jorge Ruvalcaba falls out with a teammate over standards

The oldest argument in any dressing room and the only one that is genuinely about football: one man thinks another is not putting enough in. It is also the row a manager privately does not mind having happened.

Squad

Aiden Hezarkhani in a row with a teammate

It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at New York Red Bulls this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Squad

David Weah signs a new deal

“I never wanted to be anywhere else. There is unfinished business here.” David Weah commits to New York Red Bulls for another 4 years.

The dugout

A fresh start for Emil Forsberg under the new man

Nothing resets a career like somebody arriving who did not pick the side last season. Emil Forsberg has taken the hint, and New York Red Bulls are getting a version of him the previous regime had stopped seeing.
