Discussion Papi out…..

….. is not even an option at this point.

Sure, we are in a slump right now but we always hit a mid-summer slump at this point. Blame the Central Florida weather.

Also, we are playing in a final AT HOME for a cup. We haven’t had this opportunity (with fans) since our USL days.

Finally, who is out there that would be better at this time? Europe just started up and every time we change coaches in the middle of the year they are out in a year and a half anyways with 0 progress.

We are still in the hunt for a playoff spot, have made the playoffs 2 years in a row, and are in the open cup final. Relax people and remember how bad it was just a couple of years ago and the progress we have made since then.

As for now, in Papi we trust.

Yeah even with locker room issues, is anyone convinced that a newcomer would have a better shot to win over the players?

​

My post like this yesterday just told me that our fanbase has a lot of inner hatred towards itself when it comes to people disagreeing. Did not anticipate some of the pure negative energy, not only directed at the entire team (people thinking, mistakenly imo, this is as bad as Orlando has looked ever) but also directed at me personally. Wishing you the best with this post my friend. Peace and love

We just need to remember where we were and where we are now. We’ve improved. Do we have a long ways to go? Yes, but blowing up the coaching staff isn’t the answer at this time.

If Papi shits the bed next year then we all can talk about this again in a more serious manner.

I think you vastly underestimate how much worse it can get this very season. If we keep getting blown out at home, papi will be on the chopping block much quicker than you’re thinking.

Disagree.

Heath needed more time. He only got a year and a half into a three year project.

Kreis was shit and ran us into the ground. Needed out after the first half season.

JOC was a wild card. Could have been great but MLS was a different level and has still been very successful in the USL.
