A Seattle Sounders Blog

Adrian Hanauer has helped make the Seattle Sounders perhaps the most successful expansion team in the history of sports. It will be up to him to continue to push his team over the top.

Official results are in on the GM Retention vote and Adrian Hanauer will remain in his role until the next vote, until he steps down or the club releases him from the position.

There is a third option. It is a soft declaration that the Sounders GM vote is not enough. A statement that the use of the word "Democracy" is unjust in this very limited fashion. This is the case for that position.

Sounders FC Alliance Members can vote as to whether Adrian Hanauer should maintain his position as the General Manager. At this time they should vote to retain Hanauer.

Adrian Hanauer is a fantastic GM. Arguably the best in MLS. But is that good enough for Seattle? Could we have someone better? Adrian has had his fair share of missteps, some which may have held Seattle back. This is the case for Hanauer Out.
