I think it was on the fan earlier
here's the podcast- ST discussion right at the start.
Bobby saying he can't shift his 8 tix and he's likely dropping 4 of them. Would have preferred a CMNT match ISO MLS Cup.

Cann seems like both a great person and player. He's the only thing management did right this season.

Ya, probably after Oct. 15.

He'll lay low in the meantime.

He is here despite Mo and Jimmy, not because of them. Trust me.

Apparently Paul B will be on Raycroft's podcast tomorrow.

What do people think Paul is going to say? There's nothing to say.

He'll say that there are increased costs, there are extra games, it's "good value for money". The usual stuff. What are people expecting? Him to say "Yeah, so we're trying to make as much money as we can so we're pushing the price until we plateau"...it's the truth, but it's not what we're going to hear.

MLSE - Thanks to our loyal fans - too bad we can't return the favour.

It will be the usual bollocks and LACK OF RESPECT for his customers (or former customers in my case now).

In 4 years they've cycled 75 + players through the team and brought in an uncountable number of trialists etc. And in that time, they got it right about 6 times.

I wish I could fail that often at my work and still be thought of as a great business man.

I think we can all guest almost word for word what he'll say - it's so predictable I have to wonder why he'll even bother doing the interview.


After he does his shucking and jiving the most important question will remain unanswered..."How do you respond to the disappointment and betrayal of the most passionate fans in the league who have endured four seasons of bad, losing soccer coupled with four years price increases?"

The issue isn't "it's only $1" - that's like saying "what's your problem? I didn't kick you in the balls, I only grazed you're nut sack - you should be happy about that!". The issue is for four years the supporters have been the primary - perhaps only - selling point and they've exploited that to the max while at the same time taking advantage of and abusing those same supporters. He'll have some feigned indignation about "it's only $1", the way a camel with a broken back might think "I don't get it, it was only 1 straw".

:lol: Forgiven, considering 99% of the time it is the other way around.

Hopefully someone will have the balls to ask the tough questions. Because the problem with journalists in this city is that they don't ask the tough questions and demand that the response not be a misdirection or diversion.
