A couple of things on Coopers new Blog post

From the quote below from Cooper's blog post yesterday I see a couple of things.

1) He again restates that Philly getting a team doesn't change any of his plans. Whether that is just saving face talk or honesty is arguable.

2) Not only does he admit that he is lacking investors, but he seems to almost be advertising for someone to step in and be the "hero". It this the first time he has publically accepted it as a problem??

3) He is a better man than me for not venting his frustration at MLS. Although I do like this quote:

"It is hard to believe that nearly five months have passed since the Collinsville City Council approved the financing package for the new stadium, and certainly we hoped to have started construction by now"
​

"Whatever happens in Philadelphia doesn't deter us in St. Louis. It doesn't change a thing. We never saw this as being in competition with Philadelphia. We see this as two outstanding expansion markets -- Philly and St. Louis -- both wanting the same thing, and that's to be part of an extremely strong, growing and promising league in MLS.
As mentioned earlier, we gained momentum this week with the formal passage of the TIF stadium financing package, making it possible for an investor or investors to come here with complete confidence that the ultimate private-public stadium partnership is awaiting them -- and completely approved. Our situation is ready-made for the perfect partner, or partners, who want to be part a league that is a rising star on soccer's global stage ... and be a hero here in St. Louis, the greatest soccer city and community in North America."
