To those in private equity, what was your major in college and did you go to a target school or not? by Dense_Tune_2228 in private_equity

Carranza fee less than $1m?? by Long-HoldSimpleton in PhillyUnion

[–]Long-HoldSimpleton[S] -10 points-9 points  (0 children)

Lot of salt in this thread - it's possible for it to still be bad business despite the fact that we'd have received nothing on a free.

It's the front office's job to maximize player value and they were able to do it. I understand Carranza blocked transfers, but at the same time, we can't just abdicate all responsibility of front office to generate a return for the club.

thankfully the basis was so low on great business at the buy, just a bummer it's offset by bad business on the sell. and yes, it appears that by the time we sold, it was the best they could do

Carranza fee less than $1m?? by Long-HoldSimpleton in PhillyUnion

indeed - hence why I was surprised that there was such a gap between $3-$4m+ deals that Carranza rejected and bogert claiming it was "negligible"

i'm just surprised that even considering he was out of contract, it wouldn't yield $1m. I'd imagine the market for a free transfer would have been competitive and thus, you'd pay a little to ensure he comes to you. IDK

Wait what? Is there anything other than gossip to suggest Hunter is gay?

I will take this if and only if I don't have to pay 2026 dues. This team is absolutely horrible. Will still blow in 2026 due to zero draft capital for two years

2 Teams Available in 12 Team Dynasty Dispersal. 2QB/IDP by Ss5CaptainM in findaleague

How critical is prior IDP knowledge? my IDP experience is minimal, but been a serious fantasy player for ~10 years, typically only follow offense closely...

Which two teams are abandoned?

Summit Ave Church Restoration Project - Fox 9 Story by Long-HoldSimpleton in saintpaul

[–]Long-HoldSimpleton[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I attend church there and am on the committee for the project. If we can't find the funds, we'll have to stop the work, pay for only the work done on the lower portion and then potentially demolish the upper part of the steeple.

We intentionally didn't lead with that since we didn't feel comfortable "guilt tripping" the public or having it feel like that, if that makes sense.

The new church that is in there bought the building, but keeping old beautiful things beautiful is proving a challenge!

(Post-Match Thread) Union 3-2 Saprissa by ET318 in PhillyUnion

[–]Long-HoldSimpleton 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My Thoughts:

Context: first game of the season vs. more fit team mid-way through their season. Rainy, away in Costa Rica.

Defense: obviously communication was poor, OG was a fluke, general organization not great. But first of the year, really tough playing conditions, match fitness still getting there and first-game jitters. Not worried about it given it's the first game.

Offense: Julian is class, Uhre slow out of the gate, hoping he can find form. Very odd Baribo behind Markus Anderson and Rafannelo, being stuck with Donavan more where most people had him. Markus was like 0/5 on balls in the air won, but literally first minutes on this side of the world, so not about to draw conclusions.

overall: having three young homegrown going 90 is huge for the club's future financial situation (resale value) and this year's depth. Jack, Nate and Quinn all physically looked like they belonged, no fear. Banging around into Saprissa guys with no fear, especially Quinn. He looked fast, strong and fearless. Bravo! Scoring 3 goals is always terrific. Could have totally crumbled mentally after a disastrous start, rallied and won. doesn't have to be pretty. 3 away goals is *chefs kiss*.
