The New York Red Bulls can be broken down into six historical eras. There were the two MetroStars periods, under the ownership of John Kluge and Stuart Subotnick from 1995 through 2001, replaced by the Anschutz Entertainment Group stanza that lasted until 2006. Red Bull took over the club that year, ushering in the first of four grand plans in an attempt to dominate the soccer world with a seamless integration of corporatism. This was followed by the post-stadium days of splendor running 2010 to 2014, only to be supplanted with a Jesse Marsch austerity generation that petered out upon recognition that perhaps the Red Bull Salzburg manager is better served as a tactician than a human resources officer.

Welcome to the Red Bulls Round-Up presented by

What a wild few months it’s been. The New York Red Bulls fired a coach, hired a manager, saw the emergence of a young star, and experienced heaps of transfer drama. Sometimes I wonder if there is anything more fulfilling than following and writing about this club. Is there a greater, more fulfilling world out there, with interesting people and exciting adventures? I doubt it.

Welcome to the Red Bulls Round-Up presented by

The transfer window is always an interesting time for me. I see all of these players moving, changing their lives, doing something new. I look inward and wonder, “What am I doing with my life? Would I have the courage and wherewithal to pick up everything and move halfway across the world to a new location?” The answer is a resounding “no chance,” so perhaps followers of the sport should be a little kinder to those struggling to immediately adjust to an unfamiliar environment, one in which they are expected to succeed at a competitive and challenging task.
