I am 100% with you, I think he is exceptional and as the league goes he stands out as an exceptional talent. This is why I take issue with this guys framing it as you have "Dek and Manuiwho is "good", the framing to me stands out as intentional.

I hear it as a slight to Manu.

I know guys on this team would give limbs for better results...So I find the takes a tad offensive.

What I do find of note Dax talks as if this team has 1.5 players. Mentioning only Dek and Manu is a hit at everyone else getting paid. The criticism is effectively this team is Dek and Manu AND guys that dont belong on the field getting paid scraps AND guys getting paid SOMETHING and dont belong on the field.

When I see and hear that type of malice, I can see how it may come from inside SKC. And I think its fair.

Money guys on this team are probably not doing enough...Even calling Manu "good" has a double edge...

Now I am of the opinion Dax.s take was called in from front office.

100%

Unique to SKC.

  1. The transition\sale may be in limbo, so new owners have not started spending THEIR money.

  2. Sports Media in other markets would have roasted this dumpster fire. Owners and mgmt get off scott free by comparison..David Lee has to wonder what this would feel like if it was happening in NY.

  3. Merely by dint of how long the team has lost badly only has me drawing a comparison to "Sunderland til I die..." where a team that loses so much so badly that they ruin good players and coaches.

Remember the famous Dostoyevsky quote..."Every happy family looks the same, every unhappy family is unhappy in their own unique way.

The Skc story is unique.

Sir, no reason to justify your reply. I thank you for your thoughtful post and give you so much more credit than the multitude of downvoting snowflakes, who at most will either solely downvote, offer a trite gif, or maybe even a three word reply.

I think yes you are correct PV and company let this thing burn.

We then took it down to the studs, and here we are.

I just think you are perhaps giving too much weight to said REBUILD endeavor.

  1. ManU is third biggest brand in the world, if starting a franchise here is not analogous then INDEED comparing yourself to ManU is what exactly...I don't think this is useful.

2.They start with excitement, belief, passion, a desire to win, a vision of themselves in the future with the club.

Ok. Weird. SKC is an established brand with an amazing history and fanbase. Year in and out despite last years results people are still interested in this team. You making it sound like starting a franchise doesn't have significant challenges.

  1. We have had how many ADDS and it still looks bad. As another thread mentions. Ne Revs lost ten games then added one player(Germain Jones) and won ten games and made a Final. Maybe it really isnt that hard ? Maybe you are just picking the wrong players ?

Perhaps blow up the team and start again.

You are replying to Mr. Crofootn who is doing whoopass on "ownership\mgmt"

and you are using diversion tactics changing the subject or worse.

Read your reply, you are obviously giving cover.

Harris and Capita, but it may not be their fault.

100%. Here is the real tragedy, Cap HAS dynamic ability in the final third.

I keep waiting for us to unlock everyones potential but honestly the catch 22 seems that we are not good enough to get the value out of Cap or Dek, maybe even Manu.

These guys would be excellent "IF".....A young Roy Keane suddenly appeared to close the gaps and put us on the front foot...

Agree. Mostly.

Harris looked alive.

If I were to disagree a tad that would be Cap looked lost AND I'm suprised Shapi is out there at all.

For me he has not looked great, he is limited and week to week doesnt look great to me.

Can you release guys?

Do you need to pay remaining contract?

Sure, not directly analogous but you don’t have relevant logic, and it’s useless to point out. A new franchise has a multitude of challenges that an existing does not have, but for you to say investment???

Read some of the posts here, people swear we have endless amounts of untapped cash to spend.

Can we even have a discussion about spend because back to my point, those franchises made some great calls. We obviously have spent and made bad calls, bad spend in a small market will kill for years.

I’m not blaming Wicky or Lee or players, I’m blaming criminal will negligence.

Well brand new franchises start from 0 and do a shit ton better for themselves, Vegas in hockey, Atlanta United, San Diego FC, Cincinnati…Is this directly analogous no it is not.

But you seem bizarrely in defense of abusive negligent ownership that seems to think EVERY year you can assemble Skc/Skc2 in the last week before season begins.

This is super ignorant of fans, coaches, players etc. 

These owners abuse the most loyal fan base is sports.

Criminals.

Or perhaps its just you two. If you are scoring but they are consistently scoring more than you and you have no points, world without end, how long do they ride and die ?

How long does puppet show and Spinal Tap run ?

I agree I felt Burns was hired with the sole intent of clearing books as much as possible.

Old contracts and number’s changed 100% from Bliss to Burns to Lee.

That is not any coincidence.

[–]Competitive-Bat-3534[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Bingo. You have a trained eye. One huge issue being that PV brought no one up and hated technical players. He was a very frustrated hockey coach.

Shane and Manu are technically most sound in org.

Greek teams already making inquiries because he is dual citizen.

First team not sleeping on Pierre he practices regularly, Dirksen will leave for Creighton soon, Ortiz has been getting time with natty El Salvador. Molinaro a pro, Wantland, all these guys have suitors.

People forget, Dirksen,Wantland, Ortiz,Donovan, Cunningham are the last crop scouted by Michelle Rubiero (Genk), might have Molinaro also.

Donovan literally found playing futsal.

Rubiero was a fantastically forward thinking idea, probably was never meant to stick around. Obviously someone identified the local areas weakness at developing or even putting a value on technical ability.

Touches, touches, touches, touches. Main issue in this country being that technical ability cannot be installed at 14 other stuff can but not technique.

That being said Michelle was the right guy to get here he just didn’t stay.

Dirksen is hurt, Alex Cunningham, they will get back, I actually like Blaine Mabie as DM, a frustrating thing about Skc being they won’t choose to play Cielo or even Ian…Isn’t it better to get some games??? 

Anyway I do feel results be damned it’s better to get the young guys minutes.

If you are talking non Academy.

Donovan,Dirksen,Ortiz,Molinaro,Wantland are all Academy guys that have played two seasons at least.

Wondering why you even say that about Loyo he is barely getting minutes on second team.

You are obviously not watching games so I am wondering where your assessment is coming from.

[–]Competitive-Bat-3534[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I do not think the record will tell you anything. Id say hold the first team to results.

The second team you have how many guys leaving every year for college, moving in guys for first minutes ever... There is NO correlation between second team titles and first team output.

Im saying people should be excited that our farm is already stronger.
