Jeff Mallett, one-quarter of the Vancouver Whitecaps ownership group and former president of Yahoo!, gave an interview with The Province newspaper before Sunday’s 0-0 draw with the San Jose Earthquakes. A few of Mallett’s comments will have stood out to Whitecaps fans who have watched the team’s struggles over the last year.
On ‘being a Whitecap’
Mallett seems to feel that key Whitecaps players underperformed this season – not an assessment many Whitecaps fans will disagree with. Club president Bobby Lenarduzzi didn’t pull his punches in a recent interview either, suggesting that the team has lacked leadership this season.
