Boardroom2 Oct 2034

The silence upstairs is getting loud at FC Dallas

Nobody on the board has said anything against the manager, which is the point — they have stopped saying anything for him either.

Market2 Oct 2034

Andre Djiku 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 FC Dallas can pretend not to have heard.

Squad2 Oct 2034

Daniel signs a new deal

“I never wanted to be anywhere else. There is unfinished business here.” Daniel commits to FC Dallas for another 2 years.

Squad2 Oct 2034

Tempers go at FC Dallas

Daniel 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.

Market2 Oct 2034

Still no ink between FC Dallas and Shaq Moore

“We keep meeting, and we keep leaving the room with the same numbers we walked in with.” Another round of talks at FC Dallas, another week without a signature from Shaq Moore.

The armband comes off Herman Johansson

FC Dallas will explain it as a decision about the team, and it may well be one. A dressing room has never once read it that way.

Match13 May 2034

No end in sight to FC Dallas's wait for a win

14 matches now without a victory, and the excuses have worn thinner than the patience. Somebody at FC Dallas has to find a result from somewhere.

Match13 May 2034

13 matches without a goal for FC Dallas

The chances are being made and something is happening between the making and the finishing. 13 matches now, and the anxiety in the ground arrives a little earlier every week.

Squad15 May 2034

A fracture rules Daniel out for 120 days

Bones knit. That is the one merciful thing about this injury and the reason FC Dallas will talk about it more openly than they would about a knee. He will be back, and roughly when they say.

Match13 May 2034

FC Dallas taken apart

0‑3 to Seattle Sounders, and it was every bit as bad as the number suggests. There are defeats you argue about and defeats you apologise for; this was the second kind.

Tempers go at FC Dallas

Daniel 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.

Squad15 May 2034

A move Cristian Giménez would have made for nothing

There is a version of every career where the player ends up somewhere he chose rather than somewhere that chose him. Cristian Giménez is living that version at FC Dallas, and it tends to show in the first month.

Squad15 May 2034

The manager makes an example of Shaq Moore

“If you cannot run for the shirt, somebody else will wear it.” No name was used and none was needed; every player in that room knew who it was for.

Boardroom15 May 2034

Inquest at FC Dallas

The manager kept them in and said what needed saying. A response is expected on Saturday, and if it does not come the questions move upstairs.

Market15 May 2034

FC Dallas shop where it costs nothing

Cristian Giménez signs, and the fee column stays empty. Deals like this look small in July and clever by March — or they are never mentioned again.
