Summary
On this episode of Allocation Disorder, Paul and Sam are joined by The Athletic's Felipe Cárdenas for a fascinating discussion about Felipe's recent story, titled "The battles for control through Atlanta United’s rapid ascent and sudden backslide". Why has Atlanta United fallen off over the last few seasons? Why didn't they hire Marcelo Bielsa when they had the chance? And what pushed them to hire a European manager as their next coach after Tata Martino? Felipe, Paul, and Sam talk about all of those things - and much more.
After the Atlanta United chat, our intrepid trio discuss the Columbus Crew's questionable rebrand. Sam has thoughts, everybody. Sam has thoughts.

| 0:00.0 | Welcome to Allocation Disorder. I am Sam Stayskull. |
| 0:29.0 | I am joined, as always, by Paul Tenorio, and joined this week by Felipe Cardinus, as well, our good friend and colleague from the Athletic. I recorded a separate intro for this show at the top. |
| 0:33.6 | I thought that we were going to do a segment with Felipe about his fantastic piece on Atlanta United |
| 0:38.9 | that went in depth on, a segment on the MLS salary data and the segment on the crew. |
| 0:44.5 | But Felipe's article was so good that we couldn't shut up about it. |
| 0:48.1 | So it went too long, and then we couldn't shut up about the crew. |
| 0:51.4 | And, you know, we got an hour and 15 minutes in, and we hadn't spoken |
| 0:54.9 | about MLS salary data yet. So we're going to save that show for next week. We'll be a little |
| 0:59.5 | bit more prepared. I think it'll be better this way. We'll be able to spend a little bit more time |
| 1:03.5 | on it. So we'll get back to that regular allocation disorder programming. But until then, |
| 1:10.4 | we've got this great episode for you. |
| 1:12.4 | I really enjoyed recording it. |
| 1:14.0 | I know Paul and Felipe did as well. |
| 1:16.5 | And we do have a special set of sponsors this week. |
| 1:20.4 | We've got Lowe's, True Value, Ace Hardware, and the hardware store down the street from my house where I buy screws when I need them. |
| 1:28.2 | So that's our special set of sponsors for this week. |
| 1:30.8 | And we have a lot of talk about Felipe's Atlanta United Peace, what it means for the club, |
| 1:34.9 | what it means for MLS, and Columbus Crew SC, rest in peace. |
| 1:39.6 | A lot of chatter about that rebrand as well. |
| 1:42.9 | So enjoy the show. |
| 1:44.6 | I think you'll like it. |
| 1:46.2 | Welcome back. |
