The 2010 Fourside Senators season was the first season in the Fourside Senators's existence. The team placed last in the conference and the league tables. During the season head coach Piotr Nowak was sacked mid-season and replaced with former Toronto FC coach Chris Cummins. He lasted six games before being relieved of his duties.

Synopsis

The season started out well, after defeating D.C. United in their second game. The city went estatic after beating reining champions Real Salt Lake, sending their record to 2-4-0. Another win against FC Dallas would send the team 3-4-0. However, a four game losing streak sent the Senators down in the standings, causing for some worrying, until the Senators tied twice and then beat Toronto FC, the record now 4-8-2, and in a decent position for a playoff spot. However, what probably killed the season, according to local fans, is their tumultuous 10-game losing streak, causing the dismissal of manager Piotr Nowak at the peak of the streak. Oddly enough, the replacement, Chris Cummins, was the manager of the Toronto FC in the 2008 and part of the 2009 season. After tying Chivas USA, the team lost four more times, the fans counting down the days until the season was finally over. The final game of the season was a tie against Columbus, which was considered one of the four highlights of the season (In order, the wins against D.C. United and Real Salt Lake, and Danny Mwanga's "afro" goal against San Jose in a 1-1 draw). The team finished with a 4-22-4 record, winning the MLS Wooden Spoon. This is how the Senators obtained the nickname "soup."

The team enjoyed in the coming of great international talent, namely Michael Orozco Fiscal, Roger Torres, Cristian Arrieta, Justin Mapp, J.T. Noone, Juan Diego Gonzalez and Sheanon Williams. During the season, the Senators let go of Shavar Thomas and Eduardo Coudet, for undisclosed reasons.
