2012 Expansion Draft: Revs' Official Protected List

Why did I expect a rational decision? Why did I think that the two men who were involved in the team worst season ever and got promoted for their incompetence would come up with a rational decision?

Heaps has not been on the job long enough so my take in this is the first decision on the new Billalo-Burns regime and boy does it reeks of manure. One of the 5 main issues with the Revs which I have listed in previous post is the REvs inability to recognized talent. Their players decisions over the years have always been atrocious. Why would I expect anything different with the same incompetent professional in charge? I bought the cool-aid of “give them a chance” and seeing their first major decison, I kick myself for doing this. Billalo and Burns might be good guys but they are TERRIBLE as soccer executive and will keep draging this team down.

Anyway, why am I so upset? Why would you protect two keepers? don’t you realize that you can only play one? Keepers is the richest position in the US and the second one they protect (shuttleworthless) is below average. I Remember the NY and Columbus home game where I believe Reis would have save at least 2 out of the 5 goals he conceded.

Nyassi? Are you serious? Nyassi? Did they think it was his brother? Nyassi is as awful as MAnsally and Dhube. Who would take him? IT would be a blessing.

Caraglio open? Your fake DP? Are you serious? Are the Revs playing a game of let’s kick the fans in the mouth and see how many come back from more?

I am truly depressed because my worst fear are been realized. The worst run team in the league is actually getting worst …..

Somewhere Marco Perovic must be smiling and Larentiewitz must be laughing real hard in Colorado.

let me just start by saying the Expansion Draft is weird and we won’t have to deal with it again until a 20th team is announced. Second, I was also very pissed at the Caraglio decision but also saw better DP’s made available by their respective clubs including Omar Bravo. And, seriously, is Caraglio even that good? A full season with Rajko would be nice to see what he’s made of but the only way I see Montreal picking Caraglio is to trade him. Maybe Heaps has a better striker/DP in mind? Who knows, but based on this list, it might be indicating either Heaps will be more of the same or that he was pressured by Mike Burns and the rest of the FO.

If a Rev were to be picked (key word: “if”) I’d place my money on Guy. He’d be great for Montreal to keep or trade. Plus, if he were taken it seems like the Revs want to sign Luke Mulholland who went from college through USL to NASL in like a year. This kid (from what I’ve seen and heard) deserves to be given a shot in MLS and already trained with the Revs. He scored the winning goal, and won the NASL championship then basically headed straight to Gillette. Crazy!
