Not sure Beckham who was around for version 2.0 MLS understands that its now version 3.5
I like that tag line.

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
The DCU journos, including Goff, are adament that DCU & Armas were stuck on "financial terms" before TFC came by.
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.

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.
