Unless the female soccer players are as hilarious as the female hockey players on Letterkenny, I can't imagine that show keeping my attention.

They can either have 3400 fans in the stands and no national/local awareness of the existence of the team whatsoever, or they can just be unrealistic as hell.

Then again, I'm not sure how you can maintain a spin-off of Ted Lasso without that sort of feel-good DNA and I just don't know how a Roy-centric show can pull that off. Roy's prickly nature is what makes him entertaining. And honestly, HIS arc has largely wrapped up at this point, IMO.

Jamie, Sam, Nate, Keeley and maybe Beard have someplace to go at this point. Ted, Rebecca and Roy have reached a logical conclusion to their storylines. And I'm not sure Nate or Keeley are interesting enough to carry a show on their own.

I don't think that survives on its own. It's a secondary arc to the main arc which is the men's team winning the whole damn thing. I just think it'll be hard to make that work on its own. A few hotties may help keep my attention.

I think arrowheadnation has it right that it's gonna be like The Office without Michael Scott. Which is a step down but at least it's still on. Unlike The Office I think introducing a side plot will keep the men's storyline from overexhausting story arcs that probably don't have a lot more you can do with it. I read a good point about The Office that one of the downfalls was that after they had exhausted their A plots, that's when you started to see the show become more about everyones personal lives which is where the show got less interesting.

Major League 2 is what happens when a band of plucky upstarts gets close, doesn't QUITE win it all and then you have a 'run it back' story where they finally get over the top.

That...wasn't great. All they could do was make most of the same central characters more hokey and slapstick while tossing in a couple of WAY over the top 'sidekicks' to freshen it up. Which doesn't work when you still have the original crew around who would really dominate that clubhouse.

What might've been really fascinating is having Roy go to back to Chelsea as the Manager and Nate/Beard stay at Richmond. Then you have a really good opening to introduce new characters, you see Roy without the crutch of his history at Richmond, you open up the story to let Jamie be more active in a leadership role at Richmond. You see if there's a way to put a 'distance relationship' element in there with Roy/Keeley. You see how much of Roy's new outlook is sustainable without Ted.

You can create an entirely new front-office dynamic with Roy and his boss. You can see how Nate/Rebecca manage each other and how Beard finds traction without Ted there.

You open the universe up a little more. And hell, maybe that would've been disastrous. But I think it might have a chance to actually succeed as well.

I'm just not sure there's a path forward where things sit at present.

We don't know but I don't think so.

They left it open for interpretation.
