In May of this year the original Sky Blue FC head coach and general manager, Ian Sawyers, was fired, while assistant coach, Kelly Lindsey stepped in as his replacement in an interim role before officially filling the role as head coach of this New Jersey WPS squad in June. (To read more on Sawyers' termination go here.)
I was just checking my twitter feed (@nikhak), and I came across a retweet from my friend @pitchinvasion, who reposted this tweet: @bdure_usat Shocker in #WPS: Sky Blue is on its third coach. Kelly Lindsey resigned yesterday; Christine Rampone will be player/interim coach.
Is it true- has Lindsey sent in her resignation already? Why is player, Christine Rampone, stepping up to fill the position as head coach and not assistant coach, Joe Dorini?
Something doesn't seem quite right...
****
It should be noted that Chicago Red Stars assistant coach, Denise Reddy, was the assistant coach to Sky Blue FC before relocating to Chicago last fall.

A proud moment - I think I have finally grasped the Twitter well enough to actually understand the flow of information in that second paragraph.
On another note, keep up the good work!!!
