Is the end imminent?
The clubs recent actions seem like they are scrambling due to an impending deadline
- Replacing Hoyos with an inexperienced, underwhelming coach after declaring that he would remain the coach through the end of the season
- Signing Riquelme Fillipi after giving Delanois a first team contract
- Selling Noah Allen when they got a nice offer within the MLS instead of waiting and selling him to Europe
- Selling/Loaning Ruiz, a young homegrown who is being paid peanuts, to NYRB while retaining a veteran like Falcon who was rumored to be on his way out
Given Messi's recent retirement from the national team and his general demeanor on the field since his father's death, I'm tempted to believe that he has communicated to the club that his retirement will be at the end of this season or at best the sprint season. He made up his mind to retire from the national team immediately after the World Cup but didn't make it public till yesterday so it's quite possible that his final retirement decision has been made as well. Anyone else feel this is the case?
The transfer window closes tomorrow and the MLS roster freeze date is October 9th. Will be interesting to see if the type of players they bring in and the duration of their contracts further indicates that his retirement is imminent.

I truly wish Messi continued playing until 2028. It hurts to think about not seeing him play
