Sir Landon Of Donovan

I've lived in the States my whole life - recently became an Everton fan, a club I've grown quite fond of by the way, and I can honestly say that Landon is quite the marketing tool, especially here in the States where soccer is about as popular as infomercials.

It's all about name recognition over here - never mind skill or talent - you can ask random people off the street and most will know who Lindsey Lohan is before they can name who the Vice President of the US is.

When asking among my friends, who know practically nothing about soccer, they know who Landon Donovan is and to TV networks, that's all they care about. If people can identify with a star player and that player is heavily marketed, then it equates to network ratings for each of their televised matches which equates directly into $$$$'s.

That's all that matters. The league cares not about the wants or desires of the players it has shackled to unyielding contractual obligations.

Welcome , Dude .

It appears so . Yes .
 
Oh my god. Heelarious.

The Daily Mail turned his Twitters into an actual article they ran.

LOL

The Daily Fail , Cali'..

Theyve Skanked Me , Oh ... MANY FUKN TIMES ...

Its how they roll , Chick' .

They've chased LCAB around the internet twice already. Them and Murdoch's evil empire.


Hence as always. Snides Out!

Oh, my. That's just freakin' crazy. And do folks really buy that stuff? I guess so. HOw else could they keep in business.
 
Thanks THT/LCAB.

I love Landycakes, shame he won't be coming, but i feel now it is time we move on. At the end of the day, we made an Evertonian out of him. He loves us, no doubt he'l be attending a match and he will get mobbed!

Thanks for the memories Landy, all the best in the future with The LA Galaxy, The MLS & The USA, i wish you every success.
 
Moyes does have a temper like. He's Scotch. He's also a big man, he's bigger than you think in height terms.... btw.

But Landon can mend bridges like if he works at it with Moyes.


Moyes only ****s off lazy arses. If someone puts the work in and puts themselves on the line for him... that goes a long way with him like.
Landon can be very diplomatic. I remember when he solved the impending UNMNT strike/lockout while sitting on a plane talking to Sunil Gulati (according to reports by Grant Wahl)

Get 'er done, Landon and Moyes.....oh and ef MLS. and Bruce Arena. and Don Garber.

Edit: I'm agreeing with ya, Jarvis and Ijjy...Everton will go on and it is Landon's loss...which makes me sick he bowed to the pressure of MLS again.

I hope to get to where you're at at some point. But right now, I can't.
 
THT, thanks for the update. Always good to have the info. Moving on then, let's make some moves that matter this January! COYB!
 
Close it. Delete my post and let LCAB have the last word. The life in this thread was courtesy of LCAB, the man has spoken what amounts to be the epitaph on the crypt door. Delete my post, close it, and let LCAB's word have their most deserved place.
 
Nelly, LCAB told me bout you and your Blue passion ! Don't get too upset Everton will be fine and so will Landon. He is just being loyal to his employers as frustrating as it is we'll get by. Merry Christmas x

Thanks. Starting to feel better already. We'll always have those glorious 10 weeks in the winter of 2010.

Merry Christmas to you and yours and all Evertonians!
