Wicky MUST stop the bleeding - Shades of Blue

FFSN Sporting KC — Mon, 11 May 2026 11:00:00 GMT

The ugly results keep pouring in for Sporting KC. Most recently, a 6-0 dismantling in which SKC scored an own goal where three of their players were the last to touch the ball.

Truly, utterly, embarrassing.

So how long does Wicky have?

No, he isn't the entire problem. No, this roster won't be great with a different coach. But Raphael Wicky simply MUST show he is capable of stopping the bleeding, or move aside for someone who can.

At a certain point, the club needs to show fans that there is a minimum standard which is acceptable around here.

They wouldn't need to find the new answer for coach right away either... Don't forget about Dom Kinnear on the staff. He's got immense experience in this league and can easily slide right in as an interim manager.

What do you think? How long does Wicky have?
