The Galaxy are the reigning MLS champions with just one win and nine points from 20 games.

If they continue at this pace, they’ll set modern-era league records for most losses and fewest points.

The team has done little to help itself off the pitch either.

The average attendance of 21,594 , according to worldfootball.net, is off more than 17% from last year .

The Galaxy has the fewest wins, has given up the most goals and has the worst goal differential in the league.

It's hard to imagine another team in a first -tier league anywhere in the world giving a coach with a winless record a three-year contract extension.

In many ways this season is reminiscent of 2023 , when the supporters organized boycotts and paid to have banners flown over the stadium calling for the sacking of president Chris Klein .
