Yours truly on It's Called Football

Good interview. I had a couple of thoughts:

When they asked you about RSL’s home dominance, you mentioned the new stadium as a major driver, but RSL only lost 1 game in 2008 in Rice-Eccles. I think that RSL’s home form has more to do with the team that Kreis and Garth have assembled, and how they’re coached, than which stadium they play in.

Do these guys not do their homework? They said something like, “RSL has had okay attendance, but could do better.” RSL has had average or above average (and way above median) attendance since it was formed. Fine, RSL attendance could definitely improve, but these guys looked at 1 game played in the rain and assume that the crowd was representative. That’s just stupid.

Also, what was with the question about Findley (“Why hasn’t he gone to Europe”)? That’s moronic. He’s under contract and not good enough to have any European team pay a transfer fee that would adequately compensate RSL for losing a decent striker. That’s why he hasn’t left. If he were so “fascinating” to you, I would think that you could have looked some of this up.
