Summary
On this week’s episode of Allocation Disorder, Paul and Sam discuss a host of topics from across MLS. First up: CCL. With MLS’s last remaining Concacaf Champions League entrant now out of the tournament, why do we keep seeing the same old story play out against Liga MX?
Next, Paul and Sam provide updates on some of the open coaching and GM positions across MLS. What’s the latest on RSL’s head coaching search? Could Landon Donovan take over that job? Is San Jose getting closer to hiring a new GM? Will the Houston Dynamo be looking for a new coach in addition to a new general manager? And what’s the latest on Vancouver’s head coaching search and Cincinnati’s GM search?
Then to close out the show, our hosts talk about how to fix an underperforming Toronto FC team.

| 0:29.3 | our respective homes. We are not recording this show at three in the morning. And we're not talking |
| 0:35.3 | about a U.S. Men's National Team match. We are talking about MLS and League MX and CCL and all these different clubs and all these different openings and all these different things that are going on around the league. So, yeah, I'll run that down in a minute. But Paul, how does it feel, how does it feel it be home? It looks like you got a haircut. You look cleaner. Oh, man. I needed a haircut. You look refreshed. |

And I'm just going straight to the airport. That's optimistic. It is optimistic. It'll start earlier because if we're not, we know, it was a late start in Honduras. Oh, that's true. Anyways, we're back. We back. We back. We're back and better than ever. So, yeah, like I sort of hinted at, we are going to talk about a few different things. |
