News: Revolution Sign F Gustavo Bou to a Designated Player Contract

Yeah-hah. More excited about going to this one than any in a long while. Don't even care about weeknight traffic.

 

Another sign of big changes in Revland. What are the chances his visa would have come through before T’giving in the Burns era? (“We tried hard but forgot to put a stamp on the application.”)

 

holy crap that is record time for this club

 

I am tempted to take Thursday off and head to the game Wednesday night

 

In your time machine?

 

Bou eligible to play tomorrow night. What a change from previous administrations. Announcing and signing a player eligible to play ....in JULY! Lightning fast compared to the old regimes

 

Bruce Arena's time has made it impossible to excuse what happened in the era of Burns. We wasted a decade at the altar of one man's incompetence. Have to wonder what SN could have done with the sort of front office Bruce has brought in.

 

well since I would get home around midnight after the game i would take Thursday off to recoup since I get up at 0430 for work

 

Yes, I figured that out (eventually). Still, I thought a first read was humorous.

 

Possible that it was more than one man's incompetence. At a minimum, he had others enabling him; possibly even complicit.

 

2 Krafts, a Biello, and an evil midget (IIRC) all seem to be parties to the crime. If SN had a hand in Burns getting his job originally, he at least realized the mistake and got out of town. I don’t believe Heaps or Friedel had any power to change the Burns situation. Any other suspects?
