Considering these bios are covering many more sports and amenities than just soccer, this isn't surprising.  What is the most obvious, however, is that the CEOs have probably done a deal or two like the FCV deal in their careers.  So to the blowhards giving them M&A advice, I laugh.  Yup, the former FCV dad knows more about M&A than guys that have been doing it for a living at the largest of companies and firms.

I have another idea for former FCV dad...post your resume (you can leave out company names and your name for anonymity) and we can see how much credibility you have.  Then maybe we can take you a little more seriously than some message board gorilla.[/quote]

Lol, is this what FCV parents do during their sideline conversations, challenge each other to show their credentials? FWIW, the FCV deal was pretty trivial relative to their investment in the TSJ facility.[/quote]
