The news last week that Chris Klein has gotten a contract extension as president of the LA Galaxy ended speculation he may not continue on after being suspended by MLS for overseeing a major roster rule infraction in 2019, but supporters are not happy.
The Galaxy released a terse statement to the LA Times’ Kevin Baxter that Klein will be back at the helm as president after his suspension ends in the spring, and Baxter’s report announcing the return cited strong business performance by the Galaxy with Klein shepherding those operations. But if AEG are happy with Klein’s overall performance and appear to be satisfied that Klein is not at fault for the lying over Cristian Pavon’s contract status to MLS when he first joined the club, the same can’t be said for the people who fueled much of the club’s business wins.
