The Vancouver Whitecaps parted ways with CEO Mark Pannes on Tuesday, only six months into his four year contract. Other writers have already covered the blow by blow in detail so I won’t just rehash what they have already said. But the move naturally raised a lot of questions. Questions such as “what?” and “huh?”
Anticipating these questions, Whitecaps part owner and co-director Jeff Mallet faced the media to address the latest in the long line of ludicrous decisions the Whitecaps have made in their time in MLS. The things he said made absolutely no sense.
