I mean, and I know you're dealing with that in Houston, Tim. It's like... How do we complement a really solid core group of American players and guys that get it and a coach that gets it and then add these pieces and fit this puzzle together to have success on the field? But the signs are there in Houston. It's been a much better trajectory than it's been in the past. It sounds so simple.
Hire good people, hire a good coach, sign good players. I mean, there you go. There's your blueprint.

How do you guys feel about MLS? It gives you the tools. This is a John Strong stat. The last three MLS Cup champions all missed the playoffs the year before. Oh, wow. That's pretty exciting to me. That gives you the tools to change it over.

pressure and accountability are good things to have. And I think it holds the organization accountable.

And I think part of that is having to listen to your customer, which is the fan. And,

The fans are your, they're your most loyal customer that you're going to get. They invest in everything that you do. And so you would be ridiculous not to listen to them and they have an opinion and they should, they're in it more than anybody else. And so I love that the galaxy fans did that. It's nothing new.

And as you said, Landon and in other parts of the world where they'll, you know, turn up in hundreds of thousands and throw rocks and you know, All kinds of crazy stuff. And you don't want to see it to get to that level. But I think it was important, clearly, that the Galaxy fans did that. They made their voices heard. There was change in the front office.

That change should have come for many years. And maybe that pressure and accountability didn't exist. Or I'm not sure why those changes weren't made previously. I'm sure when they're looking at this now, saying, man, we're MLS Cup champs and we should have done this earlier. But... you know, it's, uh, the galaxy are in a good place.
