Craig Merz @icer122m FWIW: Never been to coaching change press conference where lunch served to media as #Crew96 is doing Tuesday, so don't expect a move. Retweeted by CrewSupportersUnion
Should have figured... don't know how they'd be able to keep a coaching change under wraps until Tuesday if the decision had already been made today. Between the players and assistants, word would have gotten out somehow.
I find it hilarious the first place everyone's mind went (the tweets) was RW getting sacked. Its like HSG are the last to know he needs dumped and yesterday.
In case McCullers thinks only a thin slice of Crew fans do not think this team is a playoff team: http://espnfc.com/powerrankings/_/league/usa.1/week/22/cc/5901/major-league-soccer 16 (15) Columbus 6-10-5 The stoppage-time meltdowns that plagued Toronto have now infected Columbus, who fell in added time for the second straight week, this time to TFC 2-1. The playoffs now appear to be a pipe dream for the Crew.
The Schelotto Group will purchase the Crew, GBS has convinced people in Argentina that they can invest in the Crew or a legal way people with money can hide their money from the Argentina Government. It would be a legitimate way to transfer large amounts of Money to the USA from Argentina.
I'll take new, local ownership gladly. However, I find it hard to believe that this is anything of significance as we've heard no rumors or discussions. That being said, we have been quite fixated on Bobby's failures. Maybe a local organization is buying 5% or something.
It's probably a stadium naming rights deal or a local addition to ownership. Either of those would be a positive development in the long run. As long as it's not Preparation H stadium or something similar.
So the Hunt’s are geniuses after all. They keep Robert knowing he is driving the team into the ground. They have McCullers support him time and time again to the point where it looks like there is no hope. They sell the team to new local owners; new local owners rid the team of the incompetence we have seen for the past five years. Our new local overlords are seen as saviors; this gives them a firm grace period to figure this whole sports team owner ship out. Right guys?!?!? Guys???
It can see this one. Hunt - "We have a local buyers but they want to keep it really quiet until the work is done. It will take about 2 years. We need a diversion." McCullers - "What if we keep Robert around? The team will get worse and worse and that is all anyone will be talking about. Then we sneak in the deal and bam, we are done." Hunt - "Then the new owner will look brilliant when they fire Bob." McCullers - "That is why you are so awesome sir." Hunt - "No you are awesome." [Pillow fight breaks out.]
Aww, c'mon, man! We could change our slogan from being the "Hardest Working Team in America" to "We're Gonna be a Pain in Your Ass!"
HOLY SHIT! FootyRef gets a KHT for the same post across three threads! Has that been done before? This is a MASSIVE news and worthy of a HUGE announcement.
