I always wondered why Ellinger would release the lineup two days in advance of the matches and no one else did. Now I know.

OK so let's see if it works...

I'm not too sure I want a former Earthquakes' executive involved in the front office. But everything else in that article looks pretty accurate.

I forwarded the link for the article to Howes (no clue), Pastorino (should know that his neck is stretched out there with Ellinger's) and Keeney (because he is the only one in the front office with any authority with whom I have confidence knows the game well enough to know E has no clue).

I love it. A few more journalistic pieces like this should move things along.

Does anyone have Checketts' email?

???? They didn't move because they couldn't win....they moved because they failed to secure a soccer-specific stadium......we're talking about coaching and player moves here, not the stadium. Give me any Earthquakes exec before I have to live this crap we have here.

Assuming Yallop and Kinnear are the ones that brought in the players, I agree. San Jose didn't always do a good job getting butts in the seats even when tehy played well.
