Alert: Gregg Berhalter Sporting Director and Head Coach Career Deathwatch or should that be "Nut Rider?"

Great improvement over recent owners

 

Very impressed by the speediness of this thread creation and the depth of it in only 10 hours (3 pages!). Well done gents and ladies.

 

lol I don’t think anyone did that. Seriously, there are some dumb mother********ers on this board, but I don’t recall anyone saying that the reason we sucked on the field was SeatGeek and that moving to SF would improve on field performance. If you’re going to make shit up out of thin air, maybe go for believable? Most people with brains understand why it made sense to gtfo out of Bridgeview and what the move would and would not help. Nobody thought it was the only thing required to fix all of our on field problems, or all of our off field problems.

 

he's owned the teams for over 40 years

one championship between the two in the last 20 -- he's not trying to win championships any more

say what you will about the Fire futility, but worst season ever in America's longest running professional sport is a real achievement

 

I challenge anyone to find a quote where someone said moving to Soldier Field would make the team better

it's always been about moving to a more accessible location for a larger fanbase

 

27th Birthday? Hoping it indicates they will be moving rapidly to solve problems and have the entire new squad in camp the first day of training.

 

27th Birthday?
Good thing we're not all here in support of a rock star.

 

Jiggs birthday present.

 

Every 28 years is Saturn Returns to the position when you were born and astrologers claim it forces major changes in one's life, but what do they know.

 

He's actually got a job starting next March, teaching English in the Republic Of Korea.

 

Reinsdorf had to put up with Jordan, about whom he complained about having to pay him so much money. That's about the only other outlier in his ownership regimes.

 

I forgot my wallet tonight and he picked up the tab. Baby steps.

 

And if you go back to the posts around those times, there were some dumb motherfvkcers suggesting just that.

There were also the naive motherfvkcers who further believed that there was a snowballs chance in hell of a SSS being built within the city. Supposedly, Lincoln Yards was gonna give up valuable land for a (snicker) soccer team.

Because, "reasons."

And yet, here you are.

 

That’s still on the table but it’s not the only potential site.

 

I wonder if the better reporting forced the Fire's hand a little bit? Seemed like guys like Paul Tenorio and Tom Bogert and the likes have the information out maybe a bit before the Fire were maybe ready to make it official? After all we know how "transparent" the Fire front office has been historically over the years. We knew about Kellyn Acosta at least a week before it was official.

 

It been very quiet, but the stadium issue has Baldwin working hard these days.

 

I bet you can’t find one post or media quote suggesting that anyone thought the move to Soldier Field alone would make the team better
