Honeymoon’s Over
By: Anne | July 11th, 2007Well the Vic’s luck on the road evidently didn’t last, as they crashed out of the US Open Cup yesterday, losing 3-1 to the Colorado Rapids. But as the Vic’s try and pull themselves together for yet another game against Portland this Friday, it seems they might not be the only one for whom the honeymoon is over.
Last week ESPN Soccernet posted a commentary about Vic’s owner Dmitry Piterman on their France page. It seems Piterman and the supporters of the other club he has ownership in, Deportivo Alaves, are a bit at odds. Although the article is in French, it seems evident- through the mess known as Google Translation- that the article is not flattering of Piterman. Among other things, it alleges that some players for Alaves went 4 months without pay.
Unfortunatly, I haven’t kept up with the happenings of Deportivo Alaves this season. But as a Vic’s fan, if the ESPN commentary is accurate, it’s a little unsettling.
