De Grandpre denied rumors that the team is for sale, telling me they presented a five-year plan to company owner Dietrich Mateschitz in Austria and he had "never seen him so excited and committed to where we're going," but the New York Red Bulls remain one of 150 Red Bull properties worldwide and the company has seen its profits fall. For all the talk of stability, sporting director Andy Roxburgh is out after this season.

 


Is there any in this rout with authority to treat with me? Or indeed with wit to understand me?

Just the MLS cup though No shields and open cup? Lol

I once knew of an Austrian with a 1,000 year plan. 

 

True story.

I was trying to be realistic.

Not a bad article...nothing new but not a bad summing up...a couple of glaring mistakes...and a quote that could get Shep fired (though I've warmed to him being the long term color guy despite the F.cosmos connection...at least he has a real Cosmos connection...and I like his work and him as a person)...interested to see if Red Bull picks up on the Shep quote or sees the article as just another internet fan product that carries no weight...

 

want to see that plan though...

Any plan from this total FUCKING ASSHOLE, is 100% guaranteed to fail.

 

 

If this empty suit is in charge, I'll outline the 5-year plan:

 

"Remember the good old days when we totally didn't suck?"

"Damn, any way we can bring back Backe and Soler?"

"Remember when we used to be near the top of the table consistently and all our fans did was bitch?"

"Let's create a 3-year plan so we're not Chivas USA in a year."

 

This guy is a complete zero and can only fail.  We're doomed with him.  


The New York Red Bulls previously kicked around Major League Soccer as the MetroStars with limited success. But after transforming under a new banner in 2005, the Red Bulls have become a force to be reckoned with in the Eastern Conference. The club has made leaps of progress since its previous incarnation and now has its focus on bringing the league title to New York.

It would be nice if management came out and gave us some sort of idea of what that plan is instead of forcing 20 different media outlets to tickle truth them over the entire year. You can't lose the best player in team history, arguably the best defender in team history, and your sporting director, expose your second DP as well as Peguy in the expansion draft, make no player acquisitions up until this point aside from a college kid and a backup midfielder, and expect the fans to just be satisfied with, "hey guys we have plan just trust us!" I'm not stupid enough to believe that they've made all their moves for the offseason, but at some point they're going to have to actually give the fans something. Either start making acquisitions that work towards that plan, or if that's not possible at this moment then at least stick de Grandpre or Houllier or Petke or in front of a camera and speak for 3-5 minutes about what the hell their plan is so that we actually have a reason for being patient.

Puhleeez. A plan?

 

Well, I'm sure they have a real one, which they're not going to let us in on. Instead what you'll hear is the same garbage you've heard a million times before from sports teams, or the kind of thing callers on local sports talk shows espouse: Build slowly, through the draft with American talent, add DPs in a prudent, judicious manner and build towards "sustainable success".

 

Wait, that really sounds familiar. And likely to bear just as much fruit as it did with the Jets. It's an easy pronouncement to make but is really designed to keep fans at bay while ownership cuts costs and looks to sell. Teams with real plans know those plans don't need to be articulated, they just go out and look for the best front office people and let them handle things, hopefully with a reasonably wide-open pocketbook. Those owners don't act like they've made a discovery akin to the Theory of Relativity.

 

IOW, if you really have a plan then don't tell us, show us.

If Red Bull would only buy us a world-class stadium, top quality DPs, and a training ground, and lead us to a real trophy.  But they've never done anything for us.  What a bunch of jerks.  I hate them.

they're bullshitting us.  5 years my ass.  This is MLS , not the NBA.  You're not gifted a Kevin Durant to build around and keep for a decade after sucking ass for a few seasons.
