Round table discussion with Richard, Joe "I hate the Earthquakes" Cannon, Chris Klein, and Chris Brown. Lots of comment on the Earthquakes, relocation, the Front Office. http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2003/soccer/09/17/conrad.six/index.html Mods please merge if this is a repeat
Jimmy Conrad fielding his latest transfer offer: "Listen, Beckenbauer, I don't want to play for Bayern Munich this year." LOL!
You tell 'em, JC: "JC: Jimmy, the answer is long and complicated, but I will leave you with these things: First, there has never been a sound financial commitment from the league. Second, the turnover rate in the front office is what hurts mostly and is caused by the price of living in San Jose and the low salaries the front office provides." Wow, has anyone ever been able to put the FO problems as succinctly as that?
Richard's perceptions about our crowds, etc. were pretty telling (although just opinion, and no more valid than a BS post). I was wondering the players thought. Sucks that of all the guys in the chat, he was the one with the most negative opinion about our team's future in SJ.
