Re: Major Announcement on 9/13 Looks posh. I bet they make you wear a shirt and everything to get in there.
Re: Major Announcement on 9/13 this is consistent with what Nic said "The City of Baltimore commissioned the study and will make the final announcement. The purpose of the study, as outlined in the Maryland Stadium Authority’s 2010 budget briefing, is to "consider prospects for a 20,000 - 25,000 capacity stadium along the redeveloping Westport waterfront to house DC United, and a 7,000 – 10,000 seat stadium for Crystal Palace, as part of a mixed use, adaptive reuse of a warehouse complex in the Carroll-Camden industrial Park.""
Re: Major Announcement on 9/13 There's an announcement at 12:30 today... DC United is so bad this season that Toronto FC has fired Preki and Mo Johnston for losing to them. (Johnston for many things other than that, Preki obviously taking the unfortunate fall with him - maybe we should hire him)
Re: Major Announcement on 9/13 Wow even when DC United sucks, we cause other teams coaches to get fired.
Re: Major Announcement on 9/13 Actually it's exactly what the study is looking at except for point #1. And even #1 is a debatable one, depending on your point of view. For example, if you're a member of the FO staff and you job relocation prospects are New York or Baltimore, you might say it's near but not in DC. Also, anyone know how much this "nick" character drinks during a typical match?
Re: Major Announcement on 9/13 We did that to CD Guadalajara to. Then, to apologize to the fans, the jackass owner let every drunkard in town into the stadium for free for the second leg.
Re: Major Announcement on 9/13 Not only did we get Bob Bradley fired in 2005, we also made his son cry when the final whistle sounded. That's an acomplishment.
Re: Major Announcement on 9/13 Yeah. Someone used to keep a scalp list somewhere at one point of who'd been fired after losing to DCU. It's fairly impressive.
Re: Major Announcement on 9/13 I just want someone to let me know when DC gets a coach fired from two different teams.
Re: Major Announcement on 9/13 We got Sarachin fired from Chicago and I think we got Andrulis fired at Columbus. Bradley's is the most impressive, although the Chivas de Guadalajara scalp comes with bonus international points. Do we keep the scalps in the trophy case, or is that considered gauche?
Re: Major Announcement on 9/13 I vaguely remember making a crack after one of the coaches of one of the big Euro friendlies being sacked after we won a friendly a few years back. Can't remember which one now.
Re: Major Announcement on 9/13 It would be considered gauche to keep fired coach scalps in the trophy case, so KP keeps them stashed away from public view in a display case in his private office.
Re: Major Announcement on 9/13 We still have an hour before COB. Eagerly awaiting announcement! Baited breath present. Edge of seat being sat-upon.

Re: Major Announcement on 9/13 They're rolling out the new scarf machine that produces scarves in 5 colors.
