It’s been a little while since my last newsy update, so let’s skip the usual non-sequitur nonsense and get right to it:

• Las Vegas Lights, a club that was established around two years ago, is apparently up for sale in a bid to attract bigger investors, build a big shiny new stadium and, you guessed it, get into MLS. They don’t allow llamas or helicopter cash drops in MLS, kids, I guarantee you that.
• Charleston Battery have sold MUSC Health Stadium, the oldest soccer specific stadium in the new era of American soccer, to a developer, with aims to move back into Charleston proper in 2020. I, for one, am a big fan of the Battery and hope that the move, plus some damn marketing, revives the club’s commercial fortunes.
• Loudoun United’s first-ever coach, Richie Williams, abruptly left the team when Bruce Arena was hired in New England, so now the ostensible DCU2 has hired this guy.
• In expansion news, it looks like Omaha will be the next city to add a USL Championship squad to up its awesome quotient. I’ve never been nor had any desire to go to Nebraska, but soccer does some strange things to people.
