There's no comparison between the two teams...the Thorns will be fine when they get their stars back. The Timbers though are in a deep hole, and not just the standings.

There's no comparison between the two teams...the Thorns will be fine when they get their stars back. The Timbers though are in a deep hole, and not just the standings. In a way, not making the playoffs would be the pretext for action, but for the fact that the owner would have to actually do something about the coaching and recruitment staff. He doesn't seem to be engaged. A clean sweep might be the only answer, but where's the new ownership group? I would put up my $1,000 and buy a share if I was convinced it would help the supporters find new owners who could run a clean and effective operation.
While I tend to agree on the Thorns, I have to admit I didn't think they would fall off this far. I should have known better given the number of Nats on our team, I will admit. In years past I recall us at least being competitive during the WC and OGs, even at times that bolstered some playoff position putting in some work while the stars were gone. It is fairly depressing to realize that we go from one of the best to one of the worst teams in the league on the basis of about 4 players.
