To be fair

Curtis gave a few minute bit on the TSN pregame on Saturday about "getting the stadium ready for this game".

Not sure Beckham who was around for version 2.0 MLS understands that its now version 3.5

Your analysis sounds spot on here - the company dynamic has shifted markedly. Next clues - how the "we are home" rollout & any player personnel changes are done

I still think Armas was plan B.


DCU was negotiating terms & TFC swept in.


TFC doesn't do this unless their plan A went awry.

Just a note Vanney may not have wanted that role - he doesn't have it in LA.

That's the difference.

Zavs is heading into his option year, IIRC. As he has had little playing time, I doubt he sticks around.

VDW was a WAY worse signing then Boyd is:

Not good enough
Works hard
Works in practice
No distraction

This idea that this admin doesn't care to win falls at one particular hurdle from this spring - the Pozuelo "we are going to get him now" saga.

Just to add to the assessment discussion - Curtis' face on the announcement of the GE deal but then the quote is from another person.
