DC United Signs Jed Zayner

Another convincing move by the DC United Front Office. After scoring 0 goals in the past 2 months and only 12 goals in 19 games the DC United front office decided to sign defender Jed Zayner from Columbus in exchange for a couple of Draft Picks in 2010 and 2012. He has been with Columbus since 2006 and has since then started 26 games. I am not sure how this will solve our problems but I think it is another showing on how underwhelming our front office decision making is. I know our defense has not been the most solid but our offense is the worst I have seen, ever.

DC United Fires Head Coach Curt Onalfo

After a disappointing  3-12-3 start with 12 points, DC United's front office has decided to fire the head coach Curt Onalfo. Interim coach will be retired DC United veteran Ben Olsen. In my opinion I don't really think that coach got an honest chance to do anything with this team, most players was drafted before he entered the picture earlier this year and with the nasty hamstring virus that has been hitting the team hard he never really had a chance. To fire the coach, would only make a difference if the guys in the front office were fired with him, General Manager Dave Kasper and President Kevin Payne has for years been making bad decision's for this team; like signing Troy Perkins this season the highest paid player in DC United at seasons start, second best paid goal keeper in the league with the worst record in the league. Perkins was never a great goalie and will never be.

What Ben Olsen can do better as head coach instead of assistant coach is a mystery to me. Don't get me wrong I love Benny but with these players and front office nothing will change.
