This offseason, MBFC has gone from one of the oldest clubs in USL Championship to what will be one of the youngest. It appears this is largely based on a shift in how they assess/develop players.
The emphasis on building the 2025 roster appears to be on identifying players with higher ceilings than many of the players they have brought in in the past, but ones who also carry more risk because they have not established themselves yet in USL.

Earthquakes win 3-0 over MBFC in both sides first preseason friendlies this year
⚽️Goals: Arango 9’, Martínez 28’, Martínez 34’
Not much to read into for me. Closed door friendly, so have no idea how we looked. Plus, based on goalscorers I’m guessing San Jose put out a decently strong side. So the Quakes did what they should do

VP of Marketing & Communications is gone
In a telling omission, the MBFC leadership page no longer lists the founding Vice President of Marketing & Communications, Christina Ferrante. Her LinkedIn confirms she ended her tenure in January 2025.
Ferrante shepherded the rollout of the original logo designed by Christopher Payne.
When the new sub-optimal logo appeared, we began hearing rumors that Ferrante had been left out of the re-design process and that Mike DeGiuilo’s sister-in-law actually designed it.
In the end, an original employee with two degrees in graphic design and years of experience in marketing college sports at the NCAA D1 and D2 level no longer fit the business model for DeGiulio’s failing venture.
Good luck on the other side, Christina!

The best move made by each USL Championship club this offseason- Western Conference edition. Agree/disagree?
It's definitely been a busy and competitive offseason. https://medium.com/the-union-report-fan-based-reporting-on-the/the-best-offseason-move-by-each-usl-championship-western-division-club-851d18094cdf?sk=20df1abe320366990e551ef33d42821a

MBFC plays the Quakes on Feb. 1
The Earthquakes just released their preseason schedule, and they are hosting MBFC on Feb. 1. Unfortunately, it is closed door, but it should be our first look at what Jordan is planning in 2025.

Have any local high school or college players caught your eye? If so, who?
Became interested in if there were any players with possible pro ability in our immediate area (up to about the San Jose area for now). Here are five college players who look very interesting.

Deleted post about hiring a plane!
The user posted and then deleted the post and their account! What’s up with that? Here’s the last post they made. I thought it was funny. It should legit happen!
Collection for Plane Banner? Who is up to raise money to have a plane fly over the games with a banner saying "Mike Out Now!" Or "Fire Mike Now!"
Given the fog we wouldn't be able to have someone draw it in the sky!
