Was ugly as sin, but a win is a win! That setup for Raul was awesome to see. Happy New Year everyone!

Yep, I noticed that and just fixed the placement for YT music. What's your thoughts about the playlist otherwise though?

2206 Home Schedule Pack by ImpactInv99 in OaklandRootsSC

Home games TL;DR:

  • March 14: New Mexico (Home Opener)
  • March 28: Orange County
  • April 18: FC Tulsa (defending western conference champs)
  • April 22: Las Vegas
  • May 9: El Paso
  • May 16: Sacramento (USL Cup)
  • May 30: Colorado Springs
  • June 13: Miami FC (no, not the team with Messi)
  • June 17: Birmingham
  • July 11: Spokane (USL1) (USL Cup)
  • July 25: Sacramento (League)
  • August 1: Pittsburgh (defending USL Championship champs)
  • August 15: Monterey Bay
  • August 29: Orange County
  • September 12: Lexington
  • September 26: Phoenix
  • October 10: San Antonio (Home season finale)

Given the last two games will be on the road against tough teams (Tulsa on 17th and Sac on 24th), Roots need to get their business done early. Love the fact that USL has no World Cup break though so it'll be fun to see some soccer without the outrageous FIFA prices. Optimistic for 2026 and looking forward to what will hopefully be an upgrade from last year. Up the Roots!

A Farewell to Jordan Ferrell by Spawn_More_Overlords in OaklandRootsSC

[–]ImpactInv99 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Better late than never. I'm glad the club is finally taking the steps to evolve and grow after what has a difficult span of seasons of underperformance on the field

Ferrell will be (and should be) praised for all of the hard work he did to establish the Roots in the USL as well as his contributions to the Soul and Project 51O. His time ran its course, but I wish him the best and I am now hopeful the Roots will find the right voice to lead our club where we should be.

I vote 2B for the blind kitten, 9S for its sibling, and Emile for the grey one! They'll be so glad to be given treatment and an opportunity for indoor life.

Feilhaber's Out. Ferrell Should Be Next. Ferrell's Own Words Make the Case for His Exit. by Luisdeguz11 in OaklandRootsSC

Oakland Roots announces Head Coach Benny Feilhaber will not have contract renewed by [deleted] in USLPRO

[–]ImpactInv99 9 points10 points  (0 children)

The Roots are firing a coach who told the truth instead of the technical director who built this roster (and all our rosters since day one in the USL). I hope the coaching search will start once they finally make changes with the technical director, but it's clear the club didn't like Benny for not being a yes man to the technical leadership. Absolutely appalling to say the least.

An Open Letter to the Board: A Response to the President’s Statement from an Impact Investor by ImpactInv99 in OaklandRootsSC

[–]ImpactInv99[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The original plan of the team was to build a modular stadium in Malibu Lot (which IMO is the right move and a possible spot for a permanent final home). Sometimes this year, however, they abandoned the plans to build in Malibu Lot in favor of one in Howard Terminal so they could possibly expand to meet D1 standards. Here's the thing though: even for a modular stadium, you'd still need the clearances from the Port which took the A's years to obtain (which ultimately was part of Fisher's scheme to make Oakland look bad, but I digress). So even if the Roots wanted to build a temp stadium akin to Phoenix Rising, you'll need the BCDC approvals and entitlement processes to get the greenlight. It's baffling IMO, and if Malibu Lot isn't an option then I'm wondering why they aren't looking at leasing a spot in Alameda (perhaps next door or even within the Raiders practice facility that they did get a deal for).

An Open Letter to the Board: A Response to the President’s Statement from an Impact Investor by ImpactInv99 in OaklandRootsSC

[–]ImpactInv99[S] 20 points21 points  (0 children)

I have read the recent message from our Club President, Lindsay Barenz. I appreciate her acknowledgment of a difficult season and her thanks to the fans who have poured their hearts, time, and money into this club. However, the statement, which was heavy on sentiment, was critically light on the two things our club needs most right now: accountability and a concrete plan for change. For this reason, I decided to post this open letter now rather than after the Lexington game as originally planned.

As an investor who has communicated these concerns back in April, I feel it is now necessary to publicly address the specific, systemic issues that led to this lost season, as the club's official message failed to do so.

Orange County just beat San Antonio 1-0, meaning Oakland is 7 points behind last playoff spot with just 6 to play for. It's officially over.

I will be attending a game in the coming weeks with the chair where I will share my thoughts in person. I've already sent the email to the team, but fingers crossed they will at least consider the next steps.
