Oh dear, the Utah Royals are in last place. You know what that means, relegation.
Down to the minor leagues!
Somehow you knew this was going to happen though didn't you.
Why must we continue with this charade?

Utah Royals FC announced changes to its club leadership Sunday, with head coach Amy Rodriguez and president Michelle Hyncik relieved of their duties.
Newly-hired Belgian assistant Jimmy Coenraets has been appointed as the team's interim head coach. Goalkeeper coach Maryse Bard-Martel has also been released from her position.
"This expansion season has been full of lessons and learnings, and we are now focused on reorganizing leadership efforts on and off the pitch," Real Salt Lake President John Kimball said in a statement. "We are grateful and appreciative of Amy, Michelle and Maryse and their efforts in helping re-introduce the Royals to Utah's incredible fans and the international soccer community."
Rodriguez was a first-time head coach after captaining the previous iteration of the Royals as a player and serving as an assistant at her alma mater, USC, in 2022. Hyncik will move to a legal role with Blitzer Family Office, the company of part-owner David Blitzer.
Kimball will oversee business operations for the Royals while the organization "spearheads the search for a new URFC president."
Utah lost 11 of its first 15 games in the team's return to the NWSL, with Saturday marking its second 0-0 draw of the season.
