Bay FC, San Jose Earthquakes and Gavin Wilkinson
Wednesday
Bay FC have publicly criticised San Jose Earthquakes for hiring Gavin Wilkinson as a roster-management consultant, saying his professional history conflicts with standards expected of football leaders. The two clubs share facilities at PayPal Park.
Wilkinson was dismissed from Portland in 2022 after the Yates Report into abuse in women’s soccer, though he was not personally sanctioned by its findings. San Jose say he completed a restorative accountability process before being deemed suitable for consulting work.
