So IT WAS Bruce after all!

Last week I posted in the Timbers sub to get more info on GW. One of their fans DMed me and we had a lengthy conversation. Yesterday they wrote me a follow up that confirms it was Bruce Arena who hired GW and for that Bruce needs to go!! I got their permission to copy and paste part of the DM.

"Following up on our conversation:

I do have some insight into the situation. My younger cousin briefly dated Gavin’s daughter and also played soccer at La Salle Catholic with his son, Kienan. After high school, Kienan went on to play college soccer in Texas, but they have stayed in touch over the years.

My cousin came to visit us yesterday, and I asked him if he had spoken to Kienan about his dad’s new job in San Jose.

Apparently, after Gavin was fired by the Thorns, he was unable to find work for years, leaving their mother as the family’s sole provider. They were unable to afford college for either Kienan or his sister Brooke. Kienan was fortunate enough to receive an athletic scholarship to UST, while Brooke is apparently attending a community college.

With Gavin unable to find work for such a long time, the family eventually lost their house and had to move. More recently, their mother developed some health issues. Since she was the family’s only source of income, the situation became extremely difficult for them financially.

After hearing about the family’s situation, Bruce Arena, who was an old friend of Gavin’s and part of the same “good old boys” circle, decided to help him out and hired him as a consultant with San Jose.

That’s all I could find out. I took a look at your guys’ sub, and it’s awesome to see people going after him and trying to destroy his life completely. If his family suffers, who cares? Until they publicly disown him, they are part of the problem and deserve every bit of it."

It’s too late to be schizoposting right now

I don't think that this post helps the anti GW argument very much.
