    Albright's absence means he must be overseas finally that DP-striker deal, right?

    Seriously. How do you not put this guy in front of a camera every chance you get?

    The over/under on the first stream freeze up has been set at 06:30 into the conference. Place your bets.

    Hey Kinkead, turn around and wave. You, Tannenwald and De George are all on TV.

    Tommy Wilson's presence seems to imply Rene will be involved with youth development and possibly recruiting as well.

    I thought Tannenwald said he wouldn't be able to catch the press conference. Shady.

    Definitely more of a Clint Eastwood vibe.

    Nick focusing on the business side.
    Curtin is head coach.
    Wilson heads up youth development.

    Well, a guy with the same haircut and thick rimmed glasses was up front. Maybe it wasn't him, he didn't turn around.

    Adding permanent sporting director. But Rene is being added as a consultant until that role is filled.

    Which, of course, means that its his job to be mediocre enough to make permanent in a few month. Hopefully he's aces and the inevitable permanent hire is deserved.

    "teams that may have more resources than we have..."

    Interesting look into our financial standpoint, to no one's surprise.

    Difficult for Wilson splitting his time with the Beach Boys.

    Kinkead asking hard hitting question about financial resources available.

    Nick and Jay squirm in their chairs.

    so, rene is part owner of a consultant firm. http://t.co/1PLHuZiD3S

    does that mean we are just paying for his firms services, and he doesnt really work for the U?

    Ha ha ha. Nick Sak shiftily taking the mic from Rene. The camera zooms in.

    Sugarman dancing around the fact that relieving Sak of his director duties was desperately needed is fun.
    ---
    That said -- I actually love Nick Sak as a business director. He's fantastic at that side of the coin.

    That's what I'm getting.

    The move makes sense for Rene and the Union. We get his player evaluation in the short-term and he gets functional MLS knowledge to use for his firm when his temporary term is up.
