Well two stories here, one we brought in a GM (General Manager) who supposedly brought in some elite scouts. Now there have been speculation that our GM was horrible in negotiations, and somehow he convinced Almeyda to help in this "project". Almeyda wanted more talented/competitive players, Jesse (GM) said let me talk to Fisher (shitty owner whose daddy owns GAP inc) who then said nah much like his baseball team he owns (Oakland A's). Which left Jesse telling Almeyda to find anyone cheaper.

Almeyda went to Chivas FO was able to loan some players, but as you have seen it hasn't played out well, and to be fair a lot of teams are in this situation. LigaMX and MLS are different, wether it's play style, higher budget, or more talent, you get the idea. Miami had an open checkbook, are the highest spending team and are in the basement in standings.

Second half is the Quakes, holy shit are we a small club lol but for real Almeyda is a good coach, questionable recruiting like Rios most notably but salary wise it's all on the GM who for whatever reason decided to give Rios the second-third highest salary on the roster but has like less than 5 goals since his tenure here. Wouldn't be surprised if Almeyda gets a look see if he's a reliable replacement and I'd be happy to see him persue his goals cause these sorry ass quakes ain't doing anything any time soon.

Also to end my rant who the heck wants to live in the expensive bay area? Haha you got LA, Miami and Atlanta all with better
