    What has happened over the past two weeks?

    They Fired Onalfo (https://www.bigsoccer.com/forum/showthread.php?t=1376219)


    Jamie is Moving On (https://www.bigsoccer.com/forum/showthread.php?t=665444)


    They signed Shanosky (https://www.bigsoccer.com/forum/showthread.php?t=1495564)


    Yes. The last three big decisions of this club are responding to threads on Big Soccer. The Internet Nuts are running the asylum!

    Next step, running the day-to-day team operations via internet polls.



    Note: I need to start a "Give Sundevil9 large sums of money" thread.

    Dear Mr. Sundevil9: Good day, esteemed sir, I represent a Nigerian prince whose multimillion dollar bank account is made unavailable to him because of sinister, corrupt political forces. Fortunately, I have high level contacts who can correct this situation, but only if I am able to provide them with a proper "consulting fee." If you would merely provide me with your bank account routing information I will withdraw a sum sufficient to inspire my contacts to effect the release of the prince's assets and, in return, assure you of no less than $10 million as a reward for your kindness, to be delivered by the prince himself.

    Does this mean we now take the blame for the club's fortunes? Seems like a nice way for KP to pass the buck.

    Don't forget they also canned Castillo, Emillio, and Spaghettio.

    I haven't heard of that last guy.

    No, what we need is a "Shawn12011 hired as DC United's new GM/Director of Player Personnel" Thread. :D

    You're not thinking big enough.

    With a sufficiently large enough sum of money, I can buy the team, build a stadium, and hire new front office staff.


    Also closing out at least another three threads in the process.

    Add to that the fact they hired an international centerback who looks to be not returning next season for whatever reason (retirement, club going in yet another direction).

    Thx,

    Jay!

    With a sufficiently large sum of money I could buy Manchester United. Then I'd fire all the players and put our DCU boys in their place.

    Now THAT'S thinking big.

    You know I came straight to the second page of this thread, and reading this I got so damn excited... You have no idea what it felt like to find out Chang had not pulled the plug on Kasper and Payne. :mad:

    Do not despair.

    Look at the trend we, the internet nuts, are indirectly running the team. There's a thread about it, so it will happen.:p

    Who are you? Seriously. My memory is that the guy who used to post under this name years ago was a complete dick; but maybe you're someone else.

    We've all taken turns of playing the role of a complete "dick" in Big Soccer. Blame Uniteds front office.
