Out of Office

By: Bob Kellett | July 25th, 2008

The Portland Timbers Offside is suspending operations for two weeks for routine honeymooning maintenance. Please check back on August 11 for more grammatically incorrect musings about how a team that can’t win or score at home is still going to win the league.

Be well, friends.

  Well it certainly is interesting that Merritt Paulson has announced that he will be submitting an application for MLS expansion in 2011. Don’t you think?

  PAULSON, PORTLAND TO SUBMIT APPLICATION FOR MLS EXPANSION FRANCHISE

  For immediate release: July 31, 2008
  PORTLAND, Ore. – Merritt Paulson, owner and president of the Portland Timbers and Portland Beavers, today announced plans to submit an application for a Major League Soccer (MLS) expansion franchise that would play at PGE Park in downtown Portland, Ore.

  MLS today announced the timeline and application process for the league’s next two expansion teams, with plans to add two clubs by 2011 to bring the league to 18 teams. MLS, which will consider markets in the United States and Canada, has set an Oct. 15, 2008, deadline for applications.

  “There is no doubt in my mind that Major League Soccer in Portland would both add a tremendous amount to the league and have a phenomenally positive impact on our community and state,” Paulson said. “We have the most ardent and authentic soccer fanbase in the United States, and Soccer City USA deserves a Major League Soccer team.

  “In the coming months, we look forward to making an exceptionally strong case to both MLS and our community as to why Portland should be designated as one of the next two MLS expansion cities.”

  MLS has indicated that an announcement regarding the next two expansion clubs will take place during the fourth quarter of 2008 or the first quarter of 2009.

  Since he’ll be gone for Thursday’s game against the puppy killers, instead of Bob’s traditional “Being Gavin Wilkinson” segment, I nominate Lucas to do a “Being Bob Kellett” piece about his honeymoon this weak.
