Some details of Fire-Morelia deal (Radio Unica)
Some “details” of Fire-Morelia agreement
Exclusive from Radio Unica…
Who would have thought it ? The team whose Front Office makes most sense (the Fire) has a partner that also does. Mr. Salinas from Club Morelia of Mexico went into the details of the partnership plan to be made with Chicago….The main points are the following:
-First he denied categorically that they would be willing to start a new MLS team …”we do not think it would go with the essence of what MLS is trying to be” Wow, someone who actually makes sense of things! Sounds already more knowledgeable than our Chivas/America friends...
-Instead, they are “joining” Chicago” How? By providing the Chicago Fire with a player from Morelia’s first team (either Mexican or foreigner).....He mentioned it would not be someone just for the sake of the name, but someone who would fit into the Fire team, according to what Sarachan feels he needs the most….He did not rule out it could be one of their well known players, as long as the Fire thought it is someone who could fit in….Can't be more acommodating than that
-Another amazing move they are planning is to establish an A-League team by 2005, most likely in the Chicago area, so that they can start partnering with Chicago in a more day to day basis….His vision is to have increasingly more exchanges of players as time goes by
-Also, members of the Chicago first team, just like this season, will train with Morelia’s first team for a couple of weeks…There is always the chance that one of these players joins up with the MFL club..In this case, it would also be either an American or foreign player….
I think this sounds like a really great deal, then again I'm not a Fire fan, so i'd like to know your opinions
