Umm... Wow. Scheletto is confirmed back. :-) But, McCullers may be gone with Sigi?

The spokes of the wheel seem to be crumbling by the second in the offseason, at least off the field. Keeney left, Schmid looks to be gone, and now McCullers? This comes via Goff who has done an excellent job with Crew news over the last two days.

Columbus Day
Insider loyalists already know that defender of the year Chad Marshall (out of contract) is being shopped aggressively by his representatives in Germany.

Here's what else I've heard at this late hour......

*Crew Coach Sigi Schmid, also out of contract, is scheduled to meet with the Sounders in Seattle on Thursday.

*MVP Guillermo Barros Schelotto has a new contract with the club, but I do not know the details.

*And what began as a rumor at MLS Cup weekend in Los Angeles seems to be gaining traction: Crew GM Mark McCullers appears set to join the front office of the Hunt family's other MLS club, FC Dallas. From what I can gather, current FCD President/GM Michael Hitchcock will oversee non-soccer events at Pizza Hut Park.

McCullers will leave the Crew to join the insepidly boring FC Dallas franchise. Don't get the move? But, ehh, good luck.

Good news though is Schelotto will be back. Who knows, in a way, this clearing of the house may end up alright for us. I don't get though the mass exodus from a now successful franchise.
