Court Day: Reorganiziation Confirmation
U.S. Steel Tower – 10AM Yesterday morning, the court’s website posted the calendar for today, and as expected… If you are wondering why there are two different cases, and what the reorganization plan is, check out Vesty’s superb overview of what the Hounds hope to have approved by the Honorable Chief Judge Jeffrey A. Deller. With our collective zero days in law school, we have no real clue what to expect. But, if the plan is approved then we should (hopefully) start to see the team, and its representatives, start
Read moreOff-season Speculation: Head Coach [UPDATED]
All has been quiet from the club with regards to anything related to the professional team. That, kinda, changed this morning, when Steven Goff of the Washington Post posted the following tweet. @PghRiverhounds in 3rd-tier @USLPRO pursuing Navy’s Dave Brandt for coaching vacancy, multiple sources say. #Mids 26-8-6 in 2013-14 — Steven Goff (@SoccerInsider) November 6, 2014 Hmmm….

With USLPro expanding from 14 to, at least, 22 teams and two other franchises relocating and starting new identities, we figured we could kill some of the off-season boredom by letting you get to know the new competition. “Meet the New Teams” will run, roughly, every other week leading up to March 2015.

It’s already been a busy off-season for USL PRO announcing expansion team after expansion team (which we’ll talk about more another time). Sadly for the Riverhounds it’s been as quiet as a morgue. By all accounts they can’t actually do anything until the bankruptcy stuff is settled. Last I heard that will be on November 3rd so hopefully one way or the other some information should start to trickle out soon.
