Dear, Chivas USA
I regret to inform you that I have ceased attempting to make heads, tails, or anything in between with you organization.
Talented players come and go …
Potentially talented coaches get chewed up like beef jerky at a biker bar …
You score less than I did in junior high …
Management and marketing strategies slip in and out willy-nilly…
And as for who is in charge … well, who really knows? Especially as the house cleaning continues. This report that GM Jose Domene is out of a job is the latest not-so-shining example.
This conduct has caused supporter distress and, for me personally, more journalistic head-scratching than you really deserve.
We can perhaps re-visit this matter when you get yourself straightened out – and good luck with all that.
