Meola Set To Return Despite League Shake-up


Ironmen goalkeeper Tony Meola has expressed his intention to return to the team next season. According to the longtime U.S. National Team keeper and Kearny, NJ native, "Right now, the plan is to come back for one more season."

With MISL operations coming to a halt this week, all players are technically free agents until the league re-forms under a new name and structure. Despite this tentative situation, Meola sees himself in an Ironmen uniform next season. "I don't see myself going anywhere," Meola affirmed.

The new league looks set to begin next season with a revamped ownership/investor base.

As for Meola's Ironmen teammates, head coach Omid Namazi isn't too worried. "I'm sure there will be a gentlemen's agreement not to touch other team's players," Namazi stated.
