Only reason I got a twitter account was to catch up on my footy news. Proud supporter of @SJEarthquakes, #ElTri and #USMNT. Also, I love me some proper beer.

@DevBo_8 @fadedtoblack @SJEarthquakes I agree with Devin. This @SoccerwiseHQ episode breaks it down pretty well IMO. If anyone can get Fisher to spend, it’d be Arena.

@eastbayquake It’s be nice if Quakes were able to keep the best players the academy has produced but I don’t blame players like Luna that don’t have confidence in a club with a losing culture.

@fadedtoblack Imagine if Almeyda got the same transfer budget that Luchi got? His man-to-man marking system would have still bene a problem but close to $10M in transfers would have definitely helped.

If Arena was impressed with the commitment from Fisher, that’s a great sign. I always thought that the GM should report to the coach instead of the other way around. Coach is ultimately responsible for the results so the GM should work to get the players that the coach wants.

Bruce Arena has signed a contract with #Quakes74 to be the team’s next sporting director and manager. Chris Leitch will remain GM and report directly to Arena. More details here. espn.com/soccer/story/_…

@ddanet17 To be fair, Quakes did break their own transfer record twice with Gruezo and Lopez under Luchi. Is it on par with the rest of the league? Not even close. But for a guy like Arena that doesn’t take shit, if he doesn’t see the investment from Fisher, he’s going to speak up or leave

@timothyjaxon At least Arena won’t make it boring. Looking forward to those post-game conferences. I doubt we’ll get “but look at the xG” from him after a loss.

@futbolmonkey Year One: Respectable results, maybe make the playoffs. Arena keeps his cool, mostly. Year Two: Not as much investment as the coach wants, some friction with Fisher/Leitch. Maybe make the playoffs in the 8/9 spot. Year Three: Off the rails as usual. Back to square one.

@robertjonas Once the differences are squared away, does that mean that the vote in January is more of a formality?

Also today, the City of San Jose signed off on their part of the terms deal in a 10-0 vote. As soon as the Earthquakes and County Board of Supervisors square away their differences, the next steps in realizing the 26-acre soccer complex can continue.

At least #Quakes74 have stopped lying saying the club would be a top half spending team. Nothing will change until ownership changes. Get ready for another spoon season in 2025.

Elon Musk keeps trying to stick his “joke” about somebody assassinating Vice President Kamala Harris. Over the weekend, Musk remarked, again, that “no one’s even bothering to try to kill Kamala” — while he was speaking in a house of God. More: rollingstone.com/politics/polit…

@sjeq74 @tombogert Quakes wanted to be the Philly Union of the west. I’d say its mission accomplished by those numbers.

@fadedtoblack The excuse will be that the players are learning a new system under a new coach in a short amount of time. That’ll get the players a pass against Panama, although IMO they shouldn’t get one. But they’ll have no excuse if they don’t get a result against Mexico. Must win match.

@lovsicfrs I don’t get why they don’t trust the original content/story lines. I get that some are dated and need to be revised for modern times but core storylines are the reason why the comics have held the following from fans that they still do to this day.

@sjeq74 @andrew_wiebe They should be giving refunds to STHs that actually showed up to home matches. But I hear they actually raised ticket prices. Is that right?

@andrew_wiebe Unless one supports a team with zero ambition. After the historically bad season #Quakes74 have had, guess what their “incentive” is to return as a STH? A scarf. The same gift they have given many times. After a dozen years, they lost me.

Such a great interview from Paul. Never mind that he dropped Español like a G, he gave very honest answers which is refreshing for a club that at the FO level says very little in general, but should have made a statement at some point about the MASSIVE FAILURE in the 50th season.
