A massive change for MLS. #AllForCITY President and GM Diego Gigliani says STL fans “should only expect a slight increase in home matches in colder months than in a full-length season today.”
A new calendar for a global league. Beginning in 2027, Major League Soccer will adopt a summer-to-spring season format — a historic evolution in the league’s competition calendar. Details: https://t.co/YOlzd4oGDB

"Season-ticket holders across the league, who have previously received a complimentary subscription to MLS Season Pass, will now receive an annual Apple TV subscription at no additional cost."
🚨 MLS is making its matches more accessible to fans. The league just announced its plan to end the standalone MLS Season Pass subscription with Apple, broadening its audience to all Apple TV subscribers in 2026. 🔗 via @alexmsilverman: https://t.co/PSbT0ecJPV

So hyped to hear this. Huge news for #MLS. My question is: will MLS season ticket holders get full access to Apple TV? Previously, #AllForCITY got access to the MLS season pass, but not full access to Apple TV.
BREAKING: MLS will come out from behind the separate MLS Season Pass subscription beginning in 2026, per sources. All games will be available on the Apple TV streaming service. https://t.co/yqUjkd4m9X

Would you rather Mikina (24) tear it up at City2 for another year and either force himself an opportunity or earn a transfer fee for #AllForCITY, or sit on the bench and never get the chance with the first team?
@BlackstarsMCV It’s just concerning they wouldn’t give the spot to a player like Gabriel Mikina that got a MLSNP best 11 at city2 this year

Am I fond of the Josh Yaro re-signing? No. It doesn’t screw this club though. Here’s why. They sit with 4 senior roster slots open (5 if you count JGR’s loan). They mostly need a CDM, LB, and RCB. Kessler and Wallem may fill two of those slots. That leaves 2 more, including a

Monty clearly not accepting a bad refereeing call as the sole reason for last night’s loss. #stlblues

That’s terrible. No consistency in the goalie interference call. Are you fucking kidding me? #STLBlues

‼️Corey Wray gave a message to #AllForCITY in his introductory presser: "I am a person who never stops thinking about how to do things better...I often lose sleep if things are not done in the right way or the best way." Says not everything will be perfect, but there will be no

🚨There it is, at 10:17am CDT! Corey Wray will join #AllForCITY as Sporting Director for an unknown contract period. I would guess 4 years. He will begin his work as soon as his visa is processed. Good luck, Corey! I can't wait to see what you accomplish 🫡
Welcome to CITY, Corey! St. Louis CITY SC name Corey Wray as the Club's second-ever Sporting Director. 🗞️ https://t.co/2lykcnGDOU

Place your bets: will Corey Wray get announced at 9:00am CDT following the historical pattern of many #AllForCITY announcements, or will we see the club toy with us a bit?

Reading between the lines a bit here. One could interpret this as maybe saying Wray is a solid hire. Reliable, stable, safe. But no real “wow” factor or “premium features”. That doesn’t make him a bad appointment. Multiple sources call it a “solid appointment.” Time will tell
Let me rephrase it: #AllForCITY had an amazing Mercedes AMG and traded it in for a modest Toyota Prius. Now, Diego Gigliani has a functional but generic car to drive around while claiming the car is on autopilot in case he crashes it.

Corey Wray, #AllForCITY’s new Sporting Director, will have his work cut out for him but has a lot of roster flexibility and GAM. Task #1: Critchley, or hire a HC Task #2: Resolve contractual situation with Kessler, Yaro, Reid, Zalinsky, Antwi, Lundt, Padelford, Wallem Task #3:

Last thing, jokes aside: I’m not at all hating on Corey Wray. He’s got a good resume packed with almost 12 years of MLS experience. His experience with Toronto/Crew is very valuable. I hope he succeeds with #AllForCITY and I will obviously support him during his time here.

@willbrattonstl Care to elaborate? I'm just curious of your take (and of the other CITY analysts). Is it that Wray isn't an ambitious hire, or he doesn't align with CITY?

Well, this is certainly a decision… I’m not here to hate on Corey Wray, but this just doesn’t make sense to me. #AllForCITY continue to talk about this “project” and managed to keep Bürki here with it — albeit nobody else will pay him $1.8m+ Smoke & mirrors? Time will tell.
Corey Wray is our new @stlCITYsc Sporting Director per an ESPN report! Wray has a history of success and accolades inside MLS organizations including MLS NEXT Pro executive of the year. The official announcement is expected on Monday. #AllForCITY

The more information that comes out, the more concerning Diego Gigliani is to #AllForCITY. He’s still the man fully in charge right now.
The below was re: an interview John Nelson gave to @GalaxyPodcast & touched on his time w/@stlCITYsc. Couple really interesting (to me) thoughts on this: - John Nelson started at LB through 7/23/23 and then sure enough... he was just done. And we never really understood what

It took just 63 days for him to sign a new deal. Zero surprise that tons of clubs wanted him. Meanwhile, the new idea being tossed around #AllForCITY is asking for Lutz back. Extremely happy for Lutz after the way things went with St. Louis. He should still be in charge here.
We are delighted to announce Lutz Pfannenstiel as our new Sporting Director. Everyone at Aberdeen FC looks forward to welcoming Lutz to the North-east when he officially starts with the Dons next month. // https://t.co/JcMF86WSO0

Klauss at TAM, Durkin no longer U-22… #AllForCITY could sign Timo Werner as a DP left winger. The German strongly desires a move state-side, and St. Louis would really be a great fit for his style. Bürki Totland-?-Fall-? Durkin-Löwen Sangbin-Hartel-Werner Klauss 😮💨😮💨
