    The times suck for Huntington, as they do for various other companies. Good point on the "not enough money to do everything they want" line. If you only have X dollars, you obviously need to stretch them. Pulling a sponsorship was obviously the smart decision.

    Yeah, times suck for Huntington. :rolleyes: Or they just slapped their name on a gorgeous brand-spanking-new stadium downtown that's competing for concerts and events with Crew Stadium.

    In defense of Huntington They made the Sponsorship Deal long before the Banking meltdown. I can only imagine what the would be said if BP was a sponsor. Remember that the Crew did go after PNC bank for the naming rights of the Stadium. I would also point out the Nationwide got some bailout money too.

    Thats the truth, whats worse is the Middle class is dying. If you compare things to history, the USA is repeating the same mistakes as the Roman Empire, it destoryed its self from with in.

    I used to say that MLS HQ in New York was populated by a bunch of people who spent their days sending out resumes and looking forward to the day when they could get a sports job that they didn't have to be embarrassed about at class reunions.

    That's the fastest update to that website ever!
    That was faster than it took to drop Herrera's name from the roster.

    The first rule of Brad Kessler is you do not talk about Brad Kessler.

    We moved our capital to Constantinople, outlawed paganism, and made Christianity the official state religion?

    (I think maybe you know less about the collapse of the Roman Empire than you might believe you know. The fact of the matter is that, due to a lack of surviving evidence - especially economic records - from the 4th and 5th centuries that it is incredibly hard to understand exactly why Rome collapsed.)

    What this has to do with staff turnover in the Crew front office - something that isn't exactly new, IIRC - is a bit of a mystery to me.

    Who is Brad Kessler? He is supposed to be Turkish. Some say his father was German. Nobody believed he was real. Nobody ever saw him or knew anybody that ever worked directly for him, but to hear Kobayashi tell it, anybody could have worked for Kessler. You never knew. That was his power. The greatest trick the Devil ever pulled was convincing the world he didn't exist. And like that, poof. He's gone.

    For what it's worth, the list the sales staff on a different page from the adminsitrative staff. Not sure why they separate the pages, but Bartoz is still listed on the CSN page.

    Once the Crew collapses in ruins, Brad Kessler will return, and put together a winning team that plays without coaches or a front office.
