The NC Courage fired head coach Sean Nahas last night. The tersely worded statement from the club could lead one to believe it was something other than performance related, although they’re on the outside of the playoffs right now. The timing is also curious; the league came off their 5 week summer break last Saturday, where the team played San Diego to a scoreless draw, and he wasn’t whacked until yesterday. He had missed a few games earlier for health related reasons.
 
Short version of my thoughts on another board ... if they had wanted to, Courage had all sorts of soccer reasons to part ways with Nahas. The fact that they won't identify that as the issue combined with the timing leads to the conclusion that there's something else going on. Again. I hate it for the players, a lot of whom have been down this road before and have built a strong culture at the club despite the challenges.

Oh also ... maybe now somebody will remember that they have Jaedyn freaking Shaw on the team
 
The Court of Arbitration for Sport rejected Crystal Palace’s appeal of their demotion to the Conference League for breach of the Multi-club Ownership rules. Nottingham Forest will take their place in the Europa League.

Forest is owned by Evangelos Marinakos, who also owns Olympiacos, which will also play in the Europa League. However, he placed his shares in Forest in a blind trust, an option not available to Textor’s Palace shares as he was actively selling them.
