April 17, 20188 yr Team will also be rebranded as "Fussball Club Cincinnati" playing off the Cincinnati areas German heritage. Really? I get it, but not a fan.
April 17, 20188 yr So does this all but seal the deal on the Columbus Crew moving to Austin? That seems almost inevitable even without giving Cincinnati a team. I do think this pushes the Crew on out the door.
April 18, 20188 yr So no decision was made, yesterday? I'm guessing no because my social media didn't blow up.
April 18, 20188 yr So no decision was made, yesterday? Nope. MLS reviewed the possible cities for expansion, but no vote was had. They said they had no plan to vote. They did say Cincinnati took a positive step forward with their stadium deal.
April 18, 20188 yr Author Yep....Today should be the day. Kevin Martin @kmartWLWT 6m6 minutes ago .@fccincinnati gm @jeffBerding should know by this evening if team is awarded an @MLS franchise, according to source close to team. @JohnLondonWLWT with reports at 5&6. @WLWT MLS' statement is awfully similar to the one they issued after the first meeting in December, where days later they announced Nashville.
April 18, 20188 yr Author So does this all but seal the deal on the Columbus Crew moving to Austin? Not necessarily, but some people are thinking they delay of announcing FCC/any expansion team is because MLS is waiting to see what happens with Columbus and Austin.
May 1, 20188 yr How bout that expansion plan. What are you getting at? You frequently seem to hint at things and never make an actual statement.
May 1, 20188 yr What are you getting at? You frequently seem to hint at things and never make an actual statement. Well lets see, first it was 12-14-17, then it was some time in march, then it was 4-17-18........it is now 5/1/18 and the MLS season has started, and nothing.

After the initial expansion that included Nashville, there was no clear indication on whether or not the following expansion would be in time for the 2018 season.
