Looking for Some Answers
By: Clint | August 8th, 2007The chants have begun, and with damn good reason. Fire Clavijo takes the direct route.
Center holds it… Holds It… HOLDS IT!!! takes the gentlemanly approach (as they so often do – what a suave site!) and merely requests that Clavijo displays the honor of the samurai.
From College to the Pros goes from mad, to pissed, to reflective, coming up with suggestions on how to right the ship.
And some handsome young devil wrote this in a Rapids preview earlier this year:
Coached by Fernando Clavijo (credentials: played indoor soccer throughout the 80s; coached the Haitian national team; assisted Bora Milutinovic with the MetroStars in 1999 which was “the worst season for any team in league history”) and with 24 players going in/out of the team since last season, it’s hard to see a bright future for the Rapids. The Rapids have ne’er won a thing in MLS, although they did make some ballsy financial moves this year including a partnership with Arsenal and moving into a new state o’ the art stadium. As one of the founding teams in MLS, you’d think 11 seasons would be enough time to show improvement, but the Rapids have never finished above 3rd place in the west (which I think only has/d 5 teams). Despite finishing worse than 60% of the teams in the league, they make the playoffs nearly every year. What a country!
Hey, I’m turning into Bill Simmons, what with the quoting myself and the self-congratulations, and the mushy peas that I like to eat so much. Oy!

it’s all pretty depressing. i’m from Scotland and chose Colorado as “my team” in the MLS (i’m moving to the states in the next year) and already i’m beginning to think i’ve made a BIG error in judgement!
the manager has to go. the buck stops at the top and the club is failing. he should do the honourable thing and admit that it is beyond his capabilities.
