I was feeling optimistic about the Colorado Rapids in 2008. Then in cleaning up some drafts for
blog posts I ran across this quote from Rapids VP Jeff Plush. It was made going into the 2007
season. McDonald was dropped before mother's day if I remember correctly. Vanney was in, looked
like he might have been giving the back line some leadership and then promptly shipped off to DC
United.
Well, it happened. Fernando Clavijo and the Colorado Rapids have parted ways with 11 games left in
the 2008 MLS season.
I didn't think it would with the Rapids front office seemingly content to wait for Clavijo's
contract to run out at the end of the year. Likewise Fernando Clavijo didn't seem interested in
leaving before his contract was up.
