Another "Not Dead Yet" Report on Palermo to D.C. United

Remember back last week when The DCenters scooped the world on the forthcoming announcement of the sale of D.C. United? Okay, I know, I'm being a bit unsufferable about that. Blind squirrels and nuts and whatnot. It's just one of those things where occasionally we've been unable to confirm something and the Post or the Times always was a few hours ahead of us, it was nice to be first with something. Anyways, back to the topic at hand. The other part of that post was us carrying the news that the Palermo to DC United deal wasn't totally finished yet, despite the reports from Goff as sources saying it was extremely unlikely.

Well, MLS Underground is hearing the same thing. I'm pretty sure that they're not hearing it from the same places we are (or, if they are, I'll be extremely surprised), but the fact that their information aligns so closely with ours is interesting. And to the same degree of "Look, it may not happen, but it ain't impossible." Just something to keep in mind when we think about what the new ownership might shell out money for. We have ownership now, and this deal was pretty much not going to happen until ownership was in place.
