This is an excellent summary of how fudgeed the Rapids are right now...

The future is far, far away.

Interesting indepth read. No mention though of length & value of Wynne's contract.

I presume DP, is MLS speak for marquee? Interesting that a keeper (Howard) takes up one of their 2 DP spots.

Given the Rapids limpness in attack - that's not ideal. Also note CEO/GM says they won't use their 3rd DP spot. So Hudson (or new coach) has a budget to work within.

Interesting that Smith & his CB partner Danny Wilson are considered 'underwhelming'.

Also note that many of the better MLS sides (Atlanta, Dallas, Kansas, LAFC) have a strong Latino influence esp at the attacking end. Rapids have virtually no Latino players. No idea why. Huddo even speaks a little Espanol from memory.

Anyway I'll guess, that unless Rapids get hidings in all their last few games Hudson will keep his job for 2019. He can then jettison some players, and sign new ones, ie get the team he wants mostly. If they are still shark mid next season he'll have limited excuses.

The fact Colorado are still paying wages of the previous coach, is a big lucky break for him.

Interesting that Carl Robinson at Vancouver has just been sacked after nearly 5 years. Pretty young also at only age 41.
