New York Red Bulls officials summoned to Austria for ‘please explain’

New York Red Bulls managing director Erik Stover and technical director Jeff Aggos have been summoned to Austria to explain the clubs disappointing form this season.

The following was reported on football blog, Soccer By Ives:

‘The New York Red Bulls are enduring one of the worst seasons in Major League Soccer history, a season so bad that the normally uninvolved Red Bull ownership in Salzburg, Austria has taken notice.

‘In fact, Red Bulls owners are so concerned with the club's disaster of a season that they have called on the team's decision makers to explain themselves. Sources have told SBI that Red Bulls managing director Erik Stover and technical director Jeff Agoos are in Austria, having been summoned there to explain the team's horrendous season in meetings that could lead to a major shake-up as soon as the end of this week (a bye week for the club).

‘One person not in Austria is Red Bulls head coach Juan Carlos Osorio, who looks like a candidate to be fired this week, some eight months after leading the club to its first MLS Cup final appearance. That appearance may not be enough to save him from a 2009 season that has turned into a distaster, with the club holding a league-worst 2-13-4 record.’
