Official Announcement from Washington Freedom

My innitial response is Emma Hayes is receiving on-the-job training as an insurance policy. If the Freedom bounce back, coach Gabarra keeps his position for the start of the 2011 season. However, should the team stumble and not make the playoffs I predict Gabarra is out and Hayes takes his position after final game.

With regards to Assistant Coach Clyde Watson, i'll venture to guess he is a casualty meant to show the fans that changes have been made. The move seems to be smokescreen and not really full of any substance. Did Watson resign or was it suggested to him in return for his continued role wihin the youth system?

More to come for sure. Also, will there be any player moves. Coaching aside the Freedom still need help on the field in pretty much every position. Abby could use help up top, the midfield needs to be solidified and the acquisition of defender Anita Asante may or may not fill the holes in the back line.

This is most likely the most important six game stretch in Washington Freedom history.
